Characteristics and description of the tomato variety Red red, its yield
Elite seeds of the new hybrid Red Red F1 are offered to gardeners by the Ural breeders. Tomatoes took the best from the original varieties: yield, good taste and amazingly beautiful, one might say ideal shape of the fruit.
First-order hybrids F1, unlike varieties, have genetic resistance to most diseases. That is why they are most suitable for spring and winter greenhouses, where, due to limited crop rotation, a stable pathogenic microflora is formed.
Distinctive features of the new hybrid
The hybrid is designed for indoor cultivation. It belongs to the category of early-ripening tomatoes with high yields. But still, the main varietal advantage is fruits with very good commercial qualities, which may interest not only gardeners. They are suitable for vegetable growing and farms with greenhouse complexes.
Characteristics and description of the hybrid:
- tomato with unlimited growth, reaches a height of 2 meters during the growing season;
- bush of medium branching, well leafy. Grown on trellises or with a garter to secure support;
- fruits are formed in a bunch of 5-7 pieces. The weight of one tomato is from 300 to 500 g;
- fruits are round, even, with a smooth shiny dense skin. The color of the tomatoes is bright red;
- the pulp of tomatoes is juicy, grainy, watermelon type, with a small amount of seeds. The taste is sweet, with sourness;
- the purpose of the fruits is quite universal, but for whole fruit preparations the tomatoes of the Red Red variety are too big;
- harvested green, tomatoes are perfectly ripened without loss of marketability;
- the hottest response is the high yield of fruits. Up to 25 kg of tomato can be harvested from a square meter. From a bush - 8-9 kg.
The advantages of the Red Red tomato include resistance to a number of diseases. The hybrid is genetically protected against brown spot, fusarium wilting, tobacco mosaic virus, powdery mildew and rootworm nematode.
It should be noted that regardless of size, the fruits do not crack and behave well during transportation. Tomatoes with red red f1 have ideal commercial characteristics due to their taste, traditional color and beautiful shape of the fruit, evened in size.
It is important to preserve a large harvest. Ripe fruits are stored at 4-6 degrees in dark, ventilated rooms for 15 to 30 days. When picking green tomatoes, their shelf life is 50-60 days if the indoor temperature is maintained at 8-10 degrees. Tomatoes covered with sawdust are stored for the longest time, up to 3 months. The storage temperature should be 12 degrees.
Features of growing and care
Growing hybrids is easier than traditional varieties. Early maturity, yield, resistance to pathogens of viral diseases, consumer qualities of the fruit are considered priority in selection. Therefore, rather expensive seeds in many ways justify their price. They guarantee these properties of plants. Consequently, it will take less labor and time to grow them.
- The high quality of the seeds allows them to germinate without any special preparatory procedures. But according to tradition, they are allowed to swell and are planted in the substrate to a depth of 1.5-2 cm. The planting period is the first half of March.
- The seeds should germinate and germinate in 4-7 days. From this moment, the period will be counted when the first ripening of the fruit can be expected. This is about 100-105 days later. Seedlings dive with the appearance of two true leaves in boxes or separate containers.
- The variety is distinguished by the intensity of growth, therefore, the temperature regime is important for young seedlings. In low light conditions, backlighting should be used. Everyone who has planted tomatoes knows that this is the only way to avoid pulling the plants.
- Seedlings are watered sparingly, followed by loosening of the soil. Top dressing with complex fertilizers every 2-3 weeks is carried out selectively, taking into account the state of the plants.
- Tomatoes are planted in a greenhouse at the age of 55-60 days. Planting scheme 60 x 60 or no more than 3 plants per 1 sq. m. A powerful bush requires a garter to secure supports.
- The plant is of an indeterminate type, so it will be necessary to remove the lateral shoots in time, leaving one stem. Often those who have planted such varieties prefer to grow indents in two trunks.
- The care of mature plants is traditional. Watering, feeding, weeding and loosening the soil should be carried out regularly. Stepchildren are promptly removed and after the formation of 5-8 brushes, the plant is limited to the upper point of growth.
Everything else is in the power of the plant itself. The description of the variety by the producers indicates its high viability. The guarantee of a successful harvest is high-quality, elite seeds of the Sortsemovosch company.
We had something with the soil, the tomatoes grew poorly, maybe the humus is bad, I don't know. We decided to use the bioactivator of growth “BioGrow”. The situation has improved, for the second year we have been harvesting. I bought it in this store.
