Moreover, they are very large and fleshy. The color can be either pink or red depending on which type of cultivar has been chosen for seedlings. The pulp of the fruit is sugary and firm. There are very few seeds in a tomato.
How to grow
You should start sowing seeds of tomato "Bugai" two to two and a half months before you plant them on the garden bed.
Important! A maximum of two or three bushes can be located on one square meter.
Although the bush can be planted outdoors, it should be grown in a greenhouse. The formation of a bush is carried out in one or two stems.For a plant to grow, it must be tied to a peg, otherwise the plant may fall and all efforts will fail. Also, it is necessary to remove the side shoots (they are also stepchildren). To obtain fruits of the maximum possible size, it is necessary to normalize the number of brushes, as well as the fruits of the brush.
This variety needs to be watered frequently.
One month after the seedlings have been planted, it is necessary to remove excess leaves in the lower part of the bush. Pulling out the leaves above the third inflorescence is strictly prohibited. In the process of removal, maximum care is required from the gardener. In order not to damage the bush, it is necessary to pull out one leaf at a time and do it as gently as possible. In no case should you pull out the leaves several at a time.
It is recommended to shake the bushes a little in the morning so that the fruits set as quickly as possible. In order to grow large tomatoes, professional gardeners advise pinching the inflorescences.
The Bugai tomato variety is susceptible to diseases such as late blight and alternaria. To avoid getting sick, they need to be treated with special agents, which you can ask about in gardening stores. The processing procedure must be carried out only when the bush is overgrown with four or six leaves. Re-processing is carried out in a week, and the final one twenty days before harvest.
As the characteristics said above, for full growth this variety needs to be grown in a greenhouse. This is due to the fact that it requires the correct temperature regime. If the temperature is unstable, it can lead to shedding of flowers or even death of the bush. The first ripening of tomatoes on the bush begins one hundred and ten days after the first sprouts appear.
Also, you should not neglect the fertilization of the bush if you decide to grow pink "Bugai" tomatoes. For proper fertilization, those that contain potassium, phosphorus, and nitrogen are suitable. Potassium is the most important among all substances, as it provides maximum resistance to various diseases. Fertilizers are required as follows:
- At the very beginning, fertilizers are required, which contain mainly potassium;
- When the first fruits appear on the bushes, fertilizers are required that contain all three components in equal proportions;
At the final stage of ripening, when the fruits are already as close to ripening as possible, fertilizers are required, which contain the maximum amount of potassium. In this case, phosphorus should be about half of the amount of potassium, and a minimum amount of nitrogen is required.
