Characteristics and description of the tomato variety Siberian troika, yield
The Siberian Troika tomato is one of the most productive varieties of tomatoes with large fruits... The greatest yield can be obtained by growing tomatoes in the open field, but if you follow all the rules of agricultural technology, you can grow a good harvest in a greenhouse.
Description
The Sibirskaya Troika tomato variety was bred in Siberia by breeders V. Dederko, O. Postnikova and A. Yabrov. A variety of this nightshade culture is quite unpretentious and not demanding to care for. Good seedlings can be grown from the seeds of the largest ripe fruits for the next year.
Tomato variety "Siberian troika" refers to determinants (differs in low-growing bushes), in height it can reach from 55 to 65 cm. As it grows, the formation of a bush is required. First of all, it is necessary to remove the stems that come from the rhizome itself, as well as those that are formed up to the first flower stem. Also, it is necessary to tie up the bushes so that they do not break under the weight of the fruits.
The plant is mid-season. From the appearance of the first shoots to harvest, it takes about 105-125 days. It is characterized by resistance to sudden changes in temperature and various diseases.
Reviews about the taste of the fruit are mostly positive. It is unpretentious in maintenance, but in order to increase productivity, it is necessary to regularly apply mineral and organic fertilizers. This is especially important during the period of active growth of seedlings and the formation of ovaries.
