Characteristics of the Solerosso tomato variety, its yield
The determinant tomato Solerosso F1 combines many valuable qualities. Tomatoes do not need greenhouses for abundant fruiting. The tomato harvest starts early and continues throughout the season. Plants are not susceptible to disease. The fruits of Solerosso F1 are especially charming - its tomatoes are small, even, beautiful, they have a great taste both fresh and preserved.
The newest Dutch selection
Holland is the world leader in modern tomato hybrid breeding. Solerosso tomatoes are one of the latest achievements of Dutch scientists. This is the latest development from the agrarian company "Nunems".
In Russia, the Solerosso F1 variety was zoned in 2005. This tomato is recommended for all regions where it is possible to grow tomatoes in street beds. The Solerosso F1 hybrid is profitable in commercial production, but it is quite appropriate in small gardens of amateur vegetable growers.
Universal fruits
A distinctive feature of the Solerosso hybrid is the convenient size of the fruit: about 60 grams.
Tomatoes are suitable for whole-fruit pickling, and for salads, and for pizza, and for decorating various culinary dishes. They are also used as an independent snack. Suitable for all types of blanks.
Tomatoes in this weight category are twice as large as classic Cherries. Close to the group of trendy cocktail tomatoes with a weight of 30-50 grams. The weight of the fruits of the first harvest from Solerosso F1 tomatoes can reach one hundred grams, but the main harvest is equalized in weight within 50 - 70 grams. These vegetables are especially attractive for pickling and pickling. They do not burst during heat treatment. Products canned together with small stalks look original.
The shape of the fruit of the Solerosso f1 hybrid is round or slightly oval. Tomatoes are always even, smooth, without ribbing. There are no ugly ovaries at all. The color of the skin and flesh is rich, bright, burgundy red. Tomato color is well preserved in all processed products. There is no green spot near the stalk. The presentation of tomatoes is very attractive.
The pulp is moderately firm, but not firm. The taste of the hybrid is excellent. The acidity matches the sweetness perfectly.
The Solerosso tomato has small seeds. There is no point in leaving them for sowing next season, because the hybrids do not transmit their valuable qualities to the offspring. The special tomato seed material Solerosso F1 has to be purchased annually. Seeds are quite expensive, but a decent yield pays for it.
Determinant bushes
The Solerosso F1 plants are of the determinant type.This description of tomatoes denotes the ability of the bushes to independently limit growth when they reach a height of half a meter or a little more. There is no need to pinch the top at the end of the growing season. It is imperative to tie up tomato stems, otherwise the bushes will break and fall under the weight of the harvest.
Solerosso is a tomato with abundant branching, but not too sprawling. It is necessary to step-sonate it, but only to the first flower brush. Then the bush is given the opportunity to develop freely. The foliage is not very large, but dense. Photosynthesis processes are very active, which works great for the tomato harvest.
Fruiting
In the Solerosso F1 hybrid, the description differs from other tomatoes by regular comparison with the growth rate of cucumbers. With sufficient watering, small tomato ovaries grow in size very quickly. They can be filmed several times a week:
- The ripening period of the first tomatoes is early, already three months after germination. The harvest grows together, wave after wave. The collection is carried out in several stages, throughout the season - until the fall.
- The ovary is numerous, very abundant. There are no barren flowers. The reviews of vegetable growers are unanimous: the Solerosso F1 hybrid blooms so that the leaves are almost invisible.
- The fruitfulness of the hybrid is high, despite the moderate size of the fruits and not too large clusters. During the season, 8-10 kg of tomatoes are obtained from one square meter.
The Solerosso F1 hybrid is considered unpretentious to weather conditions, but very responsive to a high level of agricultural technology. Regular watering and feeding contribute to a significant increase in tomato productivity. The best fertilizer for this tomato variety is organic.
Disease resistance
The characteristics and descriptions of the Solerosso F1 tomato emphasize its superior resistance to various diseases. Tomatoes never get sick with top rot, even on acidic soils. Plants successfully resist cladosporium spotting, verticillium wilt, and fusarium. Preventive measures are required only to protect against late blight.
Care features
Like many other hybrids, the Solerosso F1 tomato combines unpretentiousness and exactingness to proper agricultural technology. Bad weather cannot be an excuse for failure. The high potential yield of tomato is realized only by the concerns of the owner, then the description of the variety as productive will correspond to reality. The main requirements of the Solerosso F1 tomato are good lighting, a moist root zone, and sufficient nutrition.
Other nuances:
- The seeds of the hybrid have already been processed by the manufacturer. There is no need to do any pre-sowing manipulations.
- The seed material is quite small, well dried, so it can germinate for a long time. Before the emergence of shoots, it is necessary to maintain a temperature of at least +25 degrees.
- Seedlings should not be overgrown, since the variety is early ripe, with a quick filling of fruits. The optimal age of tomato bushes when planting in a garden is 50 days.
- 4 - 5 tomato plants are placed on one square meter.
- Grassing is done once, when the first brush blooms. Remove all branches below it. Shoots growing out of the ground at the base of the main stem are removed.
- The soil in the root zone should always be moderately moist. Mulching will help a lot with this.
- Organic fertilizing for the Solerosso F1 tomato is required. If there is no manure or chicken droppings, they are replaced with compost compost and herbal infusions.
- Protection against late blight is necessary. Sometimes a competent crop rotation is enough. It is not so difficult to implement it outdoors.
The Solerosso F1 hybrid fills the niche between cherry tomatoes and large-fruited tomatoes. There are not so many low hybrids for open ground.They are convenient because they do not require massive supports and regular pinning. The Solerosso tomato consistently provides a solid harvest.
