The tomato hybrid "Stresa F1" is medium early, indeterminate, large-fruited, resistant to many diseases of tomatoes. Created specifically for greenhouse cultivation, but in regions with a stable warm climate, tomatoes "Stresa F1" are also grown in the open field. Tomatoes of this variety can be grown all year round in heated greenhouses.
Characteristics and description of the variety: the bush of this hybrid grows up to 1.8-2 m in height, therefore, it necessarily requires a garter to a vertical or horizontal support. The stem is lianate and flexible. It is necessary to form a stem as the plant grows in 1-2 trunks, which will increase the yield of the bush.
Since the fruits are quite large, tying the trunk to the support is mandatory.
The leaves of the seedlings are light, and when the plant is gaining growth, they become dark green, slightly elongated.
The plant is tall, sprawling, so the "Stresa" tomato bush is planted using the 50 x 40 cm technology. m planted up to 4 plants. The period from seed germination to fruiting of the plant is 110-115 days.

| № | Type of disease | Degree of stability |
| 1 | Verticillary wilt (Va, Vd) | high |
| 2 | Fusarium wilting (Fol 1–2) | high |
| 3 | Cladosporium (Ff) | high |
| 4 | Tomato Mosaic Virus (ToMV) | high |

How to water tomatoes correctly
The cultivation of bountiful harvests of tomatoes is facilitated by proper watering, loosening, fertilizing the bushes.
- Water the tomatoes with warm water about 18-20 degrees, at least 15 degrees.
- It is better if the watering is drip. If irrigation is not drip, then the water consumption depends on the age of the plant: from 5 to 10 liters at the root every 8-12 days.
- Watering should be alternated with loosening the soil under the bushes of plants.So the planting will be protected from the development of fungal diseases and optimal aeration of the bushes will be ensured.
- Tomatoes "Stresa F1" require a moisture content of 65-70% for normal pollination and fruit set. The increased humidity of the air, in addition to the development of the fungus, leads to adhesion of pollen and pollination of flowers does not occur. Reduced humidity leads to the fact that pollen scatters and does not fall on the pistil, in which case pollination also does not occur and the productivity of the bushes decreases.
Fertilization and feeding of tomato seedlings "Stresa F1"
The hybrid "Stresa F1" is fertilized throughout the entire growing period. It is important that the feeding of tomatoes is carried out in a timely manner and does not exceed the norm, otherwise the tomatoes can be ruined.
- During the formation of seedlings, before picking, fertilize twice with liquid fertilizers for plant growth, with an interval of 7-10 days.
- When transplanting to a permanent place, the root system is watered or dipped in a solution of "Fitosporin-M", which prevents infection with fungal infections and feeds the plant with microelements.
