Harvesting
Tanya F1 tomatoes belong to the mid-early category. The ripening period is approximately 110 – 120 days after full germination. The first harvest is usually harvested two months after the seedlings are placed in open ground. Fruiting is extended, the release of ripe tomatoes occurs gradually.
Tomatoes picked at milky ripeness ripen well.
The harvest from one square meter is at least five kilograms. With a high level of agricultural technology, the yield can reach 3 kg per plant. With a planting density of 4 - 5 pieces per square meter, it is possible to collect up to 12 - 15 kg of marketable fruits from this area. When bushes are placed in dense areas, pinching is a mandatory procedure.
Low plants
The characteristics and description of the Tanya F1 variety as determinant assumes the small growth of the bush and its certain compactness. The length of the main stem is 50 - 75 cm. For growing in open ground, this is the optimal height - not too high, but not too small. The bush is convenient for gartering, but provides an excellent harvest.
The stems of the hybrid are strong and very powerful. The foliage is medium in size, but dense - it perfectly protects the fruits from overheating. The leaf apparatus actively works for the harvest. Only the lowest leaves that are in contact with the soil must be removed.
Stepson issues
A detailed description of the tomato variety Tanya F1 is impossible without discussing the problem of pinching. The creators of this hybrid offer two options for working with it.
If the gardener does not have time to remove stepsons, a good harvest will grow without this procedure. But you can get larger fruits, and even in the early stages.
This can be achieved by plucking the side shoots once. The procedure takes very little time. They approach the bushes when the first brush blooms. As a rule, this moment comes soon after the tomatoes are planted in the ground, when the plants take root and begin to grow. At this time, it is necessary to remove all side shoots below the first brush, leaving small “stumps”. Stepchildren will not grow here anymore. At the same time, competitor shoots that have jumped out of the ground at the foot of the main stem are also carefully pulled out.
Numerous reviews from gardeners indicate the great effectiveness of such moderate pinching. It is not recommended to remove the stepsons growing higher up the trunk - the lion's share of the tomato harvest is formed on them. Tanya F1 tomato bushes require mandatory staking - the plants must not be allowed to bend under the weight of the harvest.
Usually only the main stem is attached to the support; sometimes the most powerful stepsons are also picked up. Individual brushes, as a rule, do not need to be tied.
Resistance to infections
Tomato plants can be attacked by various pathogens. Hybrid tomato Tanya F1 successfully resists the onslaught of many harmful diseases. This is how his modern genetic structure is programmed. The tomato is not susceptible to gray spot, does not suffer from verticillium, fusarium and alternaria. The hybrid demonstrates good resistance to late blight.
As a rule, when growing the Tanya F1 variety, you can do without chemical treatments with fungicides. The harvest is environmentally friendly.
