- fruits have good taste;
- they mature in a fairly short period;

- resistance to adverse weather conditions;
- bush resistance to various diseases.
As for the shortcomings, they were not noticed.
Important: It should be noted that in order to ensure a high yield of the variety, it is necessary to periodically carry out root and foliar dressing using certain substances.

Growing
The Juggler tomato was eaten in Russia. He focused on landing in the Siberian and Far Eastern districts. Ideal for growing in garden beds and greenhouses.
As the description shows, plants tolerate slight drops in temperature and drought well. After ripening, the fruits are suitable for long-term storage and transportation. They can be harvested at the stage of technical ripeness. Then, at room temperature, they ripen rather quickly.
Important: Tomatoes are grown by seedling, as well as by the non-seedling method.
Plants are grown using the following technology:
- Soak the seeds. For this, special growth stimulants are used, which can accelerate the maturation of seeds for planting.
- The prepared seeds are sown in humus-based soil. For them to germinate, it is necessary to create favorable conditions. The air temperature must be at least 25 C. Warm water is used for irrigation.
- When the first true leaves appear on the sprout, it is transplanted into a separate pot.
- The fortified sprout is planted in open ground or a greenhouse. Before that, it is fed with liquid complex fertilizers.
You can also grow plants using a seedless method. The seeds are sown directly into the soil, which is pre-fertilized with a large amount of humus.
After that, the bed is sprayed with water and covered with foil. When the tomatoes sprout, they are fed with a nitrogen-based complex mineral fertilizer.
Throughout the entire ripening period, the plant is periodically fertilized with organic and mineral compounds.
Plant pests and diseases
First generation hybrids are highly resistant to many diseases and pests. They are rarely infected by viruses due to their rapid maturation. But, nevertheless, in order to ensure high yields and protect the plant from diseases and pests, it is necessary to perform a number of preventive work:
- Before planting tomatoes, the site is processed with copper sulfate or potassium permanganate. For this, a special solution is made from these components.
- Bushes must be periodically sprayed with phytosporin and other drugs that have antifungal properties.
- Frequent weeding, loosening of the soil and moderate watering will protect the plant from root and top rot.
In the open field, tomatoes are affected by various insects that can cause significant damage to plants. To combat them, it is recommended to use industrial insecticides. The planting is processed several times, with an interval of 2-3 days. If the plants attacked slugs, then a solution of ammonia is widely used to remove them.
