Advantages and disadvantages

The Peter the Great tomato has many advantages, for which the variety has gained high popularity among gardeners.

The main advantages of the hybrid:

• compact bushes;
• no need for pinching and tying up bushes;
• high immunity to diseases;
• excellent presentation;
• resistance to temperature changes;
• good yield and smooth ripening;
• long-term storage and possibility of transportation;
• versatility of fruit use.

The variety has practically no downsides. Tomato bushes need good lighting, so a shady place in the beds is not suitable for them, and in greenhouses the brightness of the light must be constantly maintained. In addition, the hybrid loves timely fertilizing, with which you can get a good harvest.

Features of agricultural technology of EM Champion tomatoes

The agricultural technology of tomatoes of this variety has some nuances.

Landing

Since, as a rule, these tomatoes are not grown without seedlings, you will have to take care of preparing the seedlings. To do this, first of all, you need high-quality seeds, which are purchased from trusted manufacturers or their dealers, and you can also harvest seeds yourself, since the variety is not a hybrid.

Tomato seeds EM Champion of the Siberian Garden trademark are of good quality

The time for sowing seeds in the middle zone is the first half of March. Seedlings need picking when two or three true leaves form. In the first half of May, when the plants reach 60–65 days of age and have 5–6 true leaves, the seedlings are planted in the ground. If at this time there is still a possibility of return frosts, then the beds should be covered for the first time with spunbond or film along pre-established arcs.

You should also take care of installing supports in advance - these can be wooden stakes about one meter high above ground level, driven near each bush. But, in my opinion, trellises or cords hanging from the crossbar of a U-shaped support are more convenient. In this case, it will be easier to quickly tie up individual clusters with a large number of fruits.

It is convenient to tie tomatoes to hanging cords

It is more convenient to grow these tomatoes with a two-line planting pattern with a distance between rows of 50 cm. Due to weak foliage, the interval between bushes can be small - 30-40 cm.

The rules for growing EM Champion tomatoes do not require much labor.

Shaping, trimming and tying

You can leave these tomatoes to their own devices and let them grow on their own. And they will grow, but they will form a large number of small fruits. To prevent this from happening, you should:

• Tie up the stem and branches with fruits in a timely manner.
• Trim the lower leaves back to the first cluster.
• Seedling the bush, leading it into 1-3 stems.
• Normalize the harvest by thinning the clusters. The degree of thinning depends on the preferences of the gardener - the fewer fruits left, the larger they will be.

Watering

To grow large fruits in sufficient quantities, the plant needs strong and branched roots. For their development, the planted seedlings are moistened abundantly when planting, and then watering is stopped for 3-4 weeks. At the same time, in search of water, the roots will grow laterally and in depth, and as a result form a powerful root system. Subsequently, water the tomatoes abundantly at intervals of 7-10 days. Water for irrigation should be warm - for this it is stored in barrels installed in a sunny place. After watering, the soil should be loosened and mulched with available materials - hay, peat, rotted sawdust, sunflower husks, etc.

Feeding

EM Champion tomatoes are responsive to fertilizer application. Regular feeding will help you get a good harvest of large and tasty tomatoes. For this purpose, it is best to use natural liquid infusions of homemade preparation. Infusions of mullein, chicken droppings, or ordinary freshly cut grass are excellent as nitrogen fertilizers. To do this, they are loaded into a barrel and filled with water. After 5-7 days of fermentation, the liquid is filtered and used for fertilizing, first diluted with water five times (chicken manure infusion - ten times). 2 liters of fertilizer are poured under each bush.

Mullein infusion is an excellent nitrogen fertilizer for tomatoes.

To obtain potassium-phosphorus fertilizer, 3 liters of sifted wood ash are dissolved in a bucket of water and left for 2-3 days, after which 1-2 liters are watered at the roots of the bushes. Such fertilizing is started simultaneously with the resumption of watering after planting the seedlings and then they are carried out at intervals of 2 weeks, alternating nitrogen with potassium-phosphorus.

Wood ash infusion is a source of phosphorus and potassium for feeding tomatoes

If it is not possible to independently prepare fertilizers, then you can use urea or ammonium nitrate, pre-dissolved in water, at a rate of 20-30 g/m2 as nitrogen fertilizers, and potassium-phosphorus fertilizers - potassium monophosphate at a rate of 10-20 g /m2 (it is also pre-dissolved in water).

Harvest and use

Fruits are harvested selectively as they ripen. Since they are poorly stored, they are eaten as quickly as possible, and the excess can be processed into juice, paste, ketchup, etc.

Specifics of planting and caring for tomato Peter 1

It is important to follow simple agrotechnical rules when planting tomatoes of the Peter the Great variety. This will help strengthen the plant’s protective properties against infections and fungi, as well as get a generous harvest from each bush.

Seed and site preparation

Peter the Great is a first-generation hybrid, so it will not be possible to collect the seeds by hand. Purchase planting material from specialized stores. The seeds do not need additional processing. The only thing that can be done is soaking it in growth stimulants so that the grains germinate together. For this purpose, “Epin extra”, “Silk”, “Zircon” are used.

The site begins to be prepared in the fall. The ground is dug up and fertilized with humus, chicken droppings or wood ash. In the spring, it is dug up again to saturate it with oxygen and superphosphate is added, after which beds with holes are prepared.

Planting dates and patterns

In the first ten days of March, planting material begins to be planted. In prepared containers with soil mixture, make indentations using a garden peg or finger. The depth should be about 0.7-1 cm. Immerse one grain at a time and sprinkle earth on top. Moisten with warm water from a spray bottle.

Seed calibration and treatment

First of all, tomato seeds are calibrated by selecting obviously spoiled grains. Immersing the seeds in a 5% solution of table salt will help select empty grains, which after 5-7 minutes will remain on the surface, while high-quality seed material will settle to the bottom.

Seeds are treated with fungicides. For these purposes, you can use the same fungicides that were indicated above for treating containers for seedlings - all of them are suitable for tomatoes. Solutions are prepared in the proportions specified in the instructions for a particular drug. At the same time, the fungicide is diluted in warm water and the seeds are immersed in the resulting solution for about 20 minutes. After processing, the seed is dried.

In addition, tomato seeds are treated with stimulants to accelerate growth and germination. Such drugs as Biostim, Radifarm, Kornevin, Epin are suitable for this purpose. Solutions are also prepared strictly according to the instructions of the preparations, after which the seeds are soaked in them for up to 6 hours, placing them in a gauze pocket.

Important! After treatment with growth stimulants, the seeds are not washed, but only dried to a free-flowing state

Harvesting

Harvesting of Peter the Great tomatoes begins 110 days after seed germination. The first ripe fruits are picked at the end of the last summer month. In the fall, unripe tomatoes are collected and stored at room temperature until completely reddened.

The fruits sit firmly on the stalk, so you need to pick them carefully so as not to damage the bush. The harvested crop is stored in boxes at a temperature of 10-12°C and air humidity of 80%. Tomatoes keep well for several months.

Preparation

Preparing the seeds is where you should start. After all, correctly selected and prepared seed material is the key to a good harvest.

Tomato seeds can be purchased:

Prices for planting material can range from 10-15 rubles to 100-150 rubles per package. It depends on the variety of tomatoes and the quality of planting material.

Since you can grow tomatoes from your own seeds, you need to carefully approach the issue of collecting seed material.

How to collect seeds yourself:

You should choose a fruit of brown ripeness. Cut it open in reproach. Carefully squeeze the seeds into a container along with the juice. Place in a warm place for 2-3 days to ferment. If a thin film and bubbles appear on the surface, and the seeds sink to the bottom, then fermentation is complete. The liquid is carefully drained and the seeds are washed under running water. Then they should be spread out on a cotton cloth in a thin layer and placed in a warm and dry place. Here they dry out for several days.

Attention! Overripe fruits and fruits of F1 hybrids should not be used for collecting seeds.

Seed preparation and processing:

1. Disinfection. To make plants less sick, seeds are disinfected before sowing. To do this, they need to be soaked in a solution of potassium permanganate (1 g of product per glass of water) for 15-20 minutes.
2. Soaking in a special solution. To do this, prepare a solution: 1 teaspoon of nitrophoska, 1 tbsp. spoon of wood ash, 2 teaspoons of sodium humate, 1 tbsp. l fertilizer "Idel". The seeds are placed in the solution for 12 hours.
3. After this, the seeds are placed in warm, clean water for 24 hours.
4. Now the seeds need to be sown immediately into the soil.

Reviews from gardeners about the variety

Liana, 31 years old We have been growing the Pert First variety for the second year now. Tomatoes are not only beautiful, but also tasty. I like the fact that the fruits can be used in cooking in various ways. The lecho made from them is simply superb.

Nina Nikolaevna, 49 years old The variety is not capricious. It does not require any special care. The big advantage is that the bushes do not need tying or pinching. I am very pleased with the harvest. I use the fruits for canning, and due to the fact that the tomatoes are medium in size, they fit perfectly into jars.

Ekaterina, 37 years old I am planting seedlings of the Peter the Great variety in a greenhouse. I would like to note that it is necessary to ventilate daily and it is important to follow the planting rules (especially the diagram). The first time I planted it, almost all the bushes were affected by fusarium. Therefore, the harvest could not be harvested. The next year, the seedlings were planted less densely and after 97 days our family harvested the first ripened tomatoes. Tasty, juicy with a characteristic sourness. Just right for a summer salad.

Description of the tomato Tsarevna Frog, growing features

Many people may find green varieties of tomatoes unattractive and tasteless. In fact, green varieties, such as the Frog Princess tomato, are in no way inferior to bright and rich varieties of tomatoes, and in some cases even surpass them. The green color of the product does not at all indicate the immaturity of the fruit. The green tint is due to the high content of chlorophyll, which has a positive effect on the human body. The main positive impacts include:

• saturation of the circulatory system with oxygen;
• beneficial effects on the immune system;
• acceleration of cell regeneration;
• removal of harmful substances from the body.

You can observe a number of positive processes that occur in the body if you start consuming green tomatoes.

Main characteristics of the variety

The Frog Princess is a representative of medium yield. The first fruits can be collected after 3.5-4 months.

Description of the variety:

• the plant is very strong and has very succulent leaves;
• the height of the stem can reach 1.5 m;
• under favorable growing conditions and appropriate weather conditions, about 6-6.5 kg of fruit can be collected from 1 m²;
• There is excellent resistance to most known diseases.

The plant is excellent for growing both in a greenhouse and in open ground. However, when planting outdoors, you should understand that the Tsarevna Frog variety is very picky about weather conditions and needs a constant abundance of heat.

That is why planting in open ground should be carried out only if you are confident in the weather conditions for the season - in this case, there is an excellent chance of growing a good harvest.

Characteristics of the fruits of the Tsarevna Lyagushka tomato variety:

• medium size, spherical shape, slightly flattened at the poles, slight ribbing in the texture can be observed;
• the average weight of 1 tomato is about 200 g;
• When ripe, tomatoes acquire a green color with a slightly brown tint;
• the skin is thin and soft;
• Tsarevna Frog tomatoes have a very rich smell that is slightly reminiscent of fruit;
• tomatoes have juicy, rich green flesh;
• the sweet and unique taste cannot be confused with anything else.

The catalogs have a large number of photos in which you can examine the tomato in more detail.

Flaws

Having read the reviews of a huge number of summer residents, we can safely say that in general people really like the variety. Anyone who has planted such a tomato at least once will definitely do it again. However, any product has disadvantages, and the Frog Princess tomato is no exception.

Disadvantages of this variety of tomatoes:

• due to the constantly green color, it is difficult to recognize ripe fruits, so the tomato can be picked either too early or too late;
• unripe tomatoes have a sour taste, and overripe ones become too soft and simply fall apart;
• there is difficulty in transporting and storing tomatoes due to the fact that the fruits are very soft and easily wrinkled;
• The Tsarevna Lyagushka variety is intended only for fresh consumption and is not at all suitable for preservation.

Looking at the disadvantages, it can be noted that this species is excellent only for consumption immediately after being picked from the bush.

Growing process

To properly plant the Tsarevna Frog variety of tomatoes, you should adhere to the following rules:

Sowing is carried out exactly 2 months before planting seedlings

Seeds require pre-soaking for 3 days. Planting of seedlings is carried out after the appearance of 2 full leaves. You can plant in a greenhouse starting at the end of April, and in open ground only at the beginning of June to protect the seedlings from the cold. It is recommended to plant no more than 3 bushes per 1 m². As a rule, experts recommend forming the plant into 1 powerful stem. Due to the fact that the plant is extremely tall and heavy, it needs staking

It is important to monitor the ripening of tomatoes and harvest them on time. From all of the above, it can be emphasized that the process of growing this tomato does not have any peculiarities or difficulties. Anyone who has ever grown tomatoes can easily cope with this variety, providing themselves with everything summer with tasty and healthy fruits that are suitable for a huge number of dishes

From all of the above, it can be emphasized that the process of growing this tomato does not have any peculiarities or difficulties.

Description of the tomato variety Peter the Great - how to increase productivity

I am an experienced summer resident and grow a wide variety of vegetables on my plot. But my most popular are tomatoes. I plant many varieties of tomatoes in my garden beds. But Peter the Great is beloved and easy to care for. These tomatoes are great for fresh consumption and canning. They are tasty, meaty, juicy. The bushes give an excellent harvest. The main thing is to follow all measures to care for them. In this article I will write in detail how to plant and how to care for tomatoes. What are the nuances of caring for the Peter the Great variety?

Plant characteristics

An unusual plant with the exotic name kudrania is popularly called the strawberry tree for its fruits, similar in color and shape to strawberries, or garden strawberries.

Origin

Kudrania is a tree-like plant of the Mulberry family. Its homeland is East Asia, and now the strawberry tree can be found throughout Afghanistan and Iran. It also takes root well in Greece, Turkey, China, the southern part of Russia, warm regions of Ukraine, Belarus - in any countries with a subtropical climate or in any conditions where such a climate can be created and maintained throughout the year.

Did you know? In East Asia, leaves of the strawberry tree are fed to silkworms on farms (for example, if there are no leaves of the mulberry tree or they need to be replaced with something).

On average, curdling lives up to 50 years and can reach a maximum height of 6 meters. It bears fruit almost until the end of the plant’s life cycle, starting from the first year of planting. Reproduction occurs in three ways: cuttings, seeds, seedlings.

Species affiliation

Cudrania tricuspidata is a tree. It is perennial, deciduous, and can grow to a height of 3 meters or more. In appearance, a strawberry tree may not differ from a large bush - it depends on how the crown is formed. This plant can be cultivated both on the ground and at home, for example, on a balcony or loggia.

In the latter case, the bush will be smaller, and its trunk will be lighter than that of its fellow species growing on the ground. The plant is dioecious, that is, the inflorescences contain both male and female flowers. It blooms in May - June, depending on weather conditions and the amount of heat. It does not tolerate strong humidity and dampness, loves sunlight and dies in frozen soil.

Structural features

Given enough space and light, the strawberry tree forms a dark brown trunk with branches containing fruits and leaves. The photo of the plant shows that by pruning the branches, a bush can be formed (depending on how much space the gardener allocates for this crop). The shape of the tree does not affect the level of fruiting. Thanks to its “tenacious” branches, this plant is used for landscaping parks and creating hedges.

We recommend reading our electronic magazine about growing strawberries.

Description of fruits

The fruits of kudrania outwardly resemble wild strawberries, raspberries, and strawberries. They are round, with many seeds, similar in appearance to the fruits of the mulberry, familiar to everyone from childhood, only larger. The taste of these berries is sweet, similar to the taste of persimmon. The pulp of the fruit is dense.

Cut kudrania fruit. They are used mainly for fresh consumption, for making compotes, pies, and jam. The color of the berries varies from red to dark burgundy, the diameter ranges from 2 cm to 5 cm, and there are small brown edible seeds inside the fruit.

Important! After picking, the berries are not suitable for storage for longer than a day - they lose their medicinal qualities and even color. That is why the fruits of kudrania are eaten fresh or immediately added to sweet pastries as a filling.

Spreading

Both centuries ago and now, the strawberry kudrania tree is grown in China, Korea, Nepal, Afghanistan, Iran, the southern regions of Russia, in the mountainous regions of Ukraine, as well as in other countries - not en masse, but rather for the purpose of decorating plots or as an unusual element in the garden .

Landing Features

A big advantage when growing tomatoes is the ease of planting and growing seedlings. Peter the Great is resistant to many diseases, the seeds have a high germination rate, so additional preparation of the seed material is not required.

Seedlings must begin to be planted 1.5 months before they are planted in the ground. To do this, you need to buy a soil mixture in specialized stores or prepare it yourself. You should mix 4 parts of turf and one part each of peat, sand and garden soil. The soil is placed in pots and seedlings are planted in them. To do this, make small depressions in the soil, place grains in them, sprinkle them with soil and water them. Plantings are placed under film in a warm place.

When sprouts appear, the film is removed, and the pots with plants are placed on the windowsill in a sunny place. Water daily using a pipette to avoid damaging fragile plants. When 2-3 leaves appear on the seedlings, fertilize with mineral fertilizers.

When the plants get stronger and grow 4-5 true leaves, pick them. To do this, each plant is planted in a separate, wider and deeper container. The tomatoes will grow in these pots before being planted in the ground.

Planting seedlings in the ground

2 months after planting, the seedlings are transplanted into the ground. It is necessary to prepare the beds in advance. To do this, apply organic fertilizers and carefully dig up the soil. Holes are made in the ground 5-7 cm deep. One seedling is planted in each so that the lower leaves are above the ground. The seedlings are dug in and the soil is compacted. Carry out abundant watering.

There must be a distance of 20 cm between each plant. If plants grow in rows in the garden bed, there should be a distance of 25 cm between them.

It is recommended to plant tomatoes if carrots, cabbage, and cucumbers previously grew in the garden.

How to grow seedlings

The cultivation of hybrid seedlings occurs according to standard rules, taking into account the specific climate. The thoroughness of seed and soil treatment depends on the level of threat of disease and pest infection in a particular planting region.

Seed preparation

Considering that 60-day-old seedlings should be transplanted into the greenhouse, and the best time for planting will be mid-May (for the middle zone), it is better to sow seeds for growing seedlings in the first half of March.

Hybrid seeds are usually already processed by the manufacturer. But some gardeners still disinfect. Harmful microorganisms can live on the surface of seeds and become activated when they enter the soil. The simplest method of disinfection is soaking in hydrogen peroxide (3% solution) for 20 minutes.

Then the seeds are soaked in water at room temperature for 72 hours, wrapped in clean gauze. As a rule, on the third day the sprouts hatch and the seeds are ready for planting.

Container and soil

Seed material is planted in boxes filled with universal store-bought soil for tomatoes. There must be drainage holes at the bottom of the boxes.

You can prepare the soil yourself by mixing peat, sand, and top layer of garden soil in equal parts. It is recommended to additionally treat the soil with a weak solution of potassium permanganate and add a small amount of organic fertilizer.

Sowing

The seeds are deepened into the ground by 1-2 cm, watered with warm water and greenhouse conditions are created by covering the container with soil with film.

It is important that the soil in the box does not dry out or cool. The optimal way to moisturize during this period is to spray the soil with a spray bottle. The greenhouse must be well ventilated twice a day.

If these conditions are met, seedlings appear within 7-10 days.

The greenhouse must be well ventilated twice a day. If these conditions are met, seedlings appear within 7-10 days.

Growing and care

After germination, Peter the Great tomato seedlings need to be provided with good lighting, and in the second week, nitrogen fertilizers should be added to stimulate growth.

When 2-3 leaves appear on the plants, they are picked from a common box into separate cups. The volume of the cups must be at least 0.5 liters so that the grown seedlings feel comfortable.

Further care

Loosening

Tomatoes love loose soil. Therefore, once a week it is necessary to weed and loosen at the same time.

Watering

Tomatoes love moisture. Therefore, it is recommended to water them once a week. Up to a liter of water must be added to each bush. Moistening is carried out in the morning or evening so that the sun's rays do not burn the plants. You can water in cloudy weather. It is important not to over-moisten the soil. Otherwise, tomatoes may develop late blight or brown spot.

Top dressing

If organic fertilizers were not added to the soil before planting, the first fertilizing is carried out 10 days after planting the seedlings in the ground. You can use chicken manure, 1 part of which is diluted in 20 parts of settled water. A good fertilizer would be liquid manure, 1 kg of which is diluted in a bucket of water. 500 grams of liquid are poured under the bush.

The next feeding is carried out during the flowering period. Fertilizers are applied at the root. Boric acid is used, 1 gram of which is diluted in a liter of water. You can use sodium humate, 0.1 grams of which are diluted in a liter of water. The solution will promote abundant formation of ovaries. It will also give plants increased resistance to sudden changes in temperature, high humidity and dry weather.

How to grow tomatoes

Tomatoes require daily attention from gardeners. Following the recommendations for growing Peter the Great hybrid tomatoes will ensure healthy plants and a rich harvest.

Landing

Peter the Great tomatoes are planted in greenhouses in mid-May - early June. By this point, night temperatures in the greenhouse should not fall below 10 °C.

Planting density per 1 sq. m is 3 bushes when subsequently formed into 2 stems or 4 bushes when formed into 1 stem.

The soil in the greenhouse is prepared in the fall, replacing its top layer with soil from carrot beds. Then they add manure and dig up the soil without breaking up the lumps.

Care

10 days after planting tomatoes in permanent soil, it is well loosened and organic fertilizers are applied. Mineral fertilizers are added before flowering and during the period of fruit appearance.

Plants require abundant watering with warm water - drying out of the deep layers of soil is unacceptable. The soil is loosened weekly to ensure adequate oxygen exchange in the tomato root system.

The bushes grow actively throughout the growing season, and to ripen the fruits, it is recommended to remove the stepsons, pinch the growing points and the crown.

Features of cultivation and possible difficulties

With responsible care, the Peter the Great tomato feels comfortable in greenhouse conditions and enters the fruiting period 110-120 days after germination. Sometimes, despite observing all agrotechnical nuances, difficulties are observed with fruit ripening. To help the plant, experienced farmers advise removing some of the tomatoes that have acquired an intermediate brown color.

Throughout the warm season, it is necessary to maintain an optimal level of humidity in the greenhouse - this is ensured by regular watering of the soil and natural evaporation of moisture, but on dry summer days you can install small containers of water between the bushes.

Diseases and pests

Hybrid Peter the Great is resistant to viral and fungal infections, but for prevention it is recommended to periodically treat the above-ground part of the plant with Fitosporin.

When pests appear, we recommend spraying the bushes with an insecticidal preparation. Root protection will be ensured by watering with a solution of copper sulfate.

Pests and diseases

Peter 1 has increased immunity to many diseases. But if agrotechnical work is violated, tomatoes can develop the following diseases:

Late blight

This is a fungal disease that affects all parts of the plant. The bushes completely die. If plants are not treated in a timely manner, the disease can spread to all plantings. The best means in the fight against late blight are the drugs Fitosporin and Copper Oxide.

Tobacco mosaic

This is a viral disease that leads to the death of tomatoes. In the fight against the disease, drugs such as Maxim, Karbofos, Lamidor are used.

What happens if you do it too late?

If tomatoes are sown too late, the plant will not have time to become strong enough before planting in the ground. Consequences of late sowing:

• Long adaptation of the seedling after planting;
• The tomato may die;

• Susceptibility to diseases and parasites;
• Late harvest or lack thereof.

Expert opinion Ulanin Konstantin Grigorievich Agronomist, experience in the specialty - 12 years

A tomato that has not had time to form may not bring you the long-awaited harvest. Since long adaptation and late development often lead to the fact that the plant does not have time to go through the necessary stages of growth before the end of the summer season and lower temperatures. Or there will still be a harvest, but it will be very meager.

Reviews

Alexander

This is an excellent variety of tomatoes that can be grown in open ground and in greenhouses. It grows well and bears fruit in any climatic conditions. The crop is characterized by high productivity. From one bush I collect up to 10 kg of tomatoes. They are tasty, sweet, meaty. The fruits are suitable for fresh consumption and canning. Peter 1 is stored for a long time, up to 3-5 months.

Anastasia

I like this variety because it requires minimal care. There is no need to specially prepare the seeds. They sprout friendly shoots. The bushes are also very compact with minimal green mass. Therefore, they do not need to be stepsoned. The variety has a very good harvest. Even if you pick green fruits, they ripen well indoors. Our family is provided with tomatoes until the first days of winter, since tomatoes are stored for a long time. They are very aromatic, sweet, meaty.

Tomato hybrids. Tomato F1 Peter the Great. (Tomato hybrid F1 Peter the Great)

Sowing for seedlings: mid-end of March. Seed placement depth: 1 cm. Picking: in the phase of the first true leaf. Planting seedlings in open ground - at the age of 30 - 35 days. Planting pattern - 70 by 40 cm.

Fruiting: starting in mid-July.

The key to choosing this tomato hybrid was its similarity to the Pepper tomato, as well as its stated high taste qualities and the possibility of long-term fresh storage.

About F1 tomato hybrids Peter the Great from the blog:

March 23, 2016

March 31, 2016. No new shoots appeared in the tray with “Pepper and Prides,” but the only tomato that sprouted turned out to be three-leaved, which is called “bestowed with happiness.” But you won’t be satisfied with happiness alone... In the morning I soaked the seeds of the F1 tomato hybrid Peter the Great and almost the entire remaining reserve of seeds of the Pertsevidny variety (from our own preparations - Tomatoes for seeds. We prepare tomato seeds ourselves). In the evening, I sowed the already swollen seeds into a tray - I had to use the soil prepared for picking. It turns out that these tomatoes were sown on an alternative day on the waning Moon in the sign of Capricorn.

PS We have not used growth stimulants during soaking for several years now - they do not affect germination, and the appearance of the first shoots one day earlier is not significant... All sowings were carried out with precise depth.

What is an F1 hybrid? In our case, this is the result of crossing two tomato varieties, the first generation, i.e. Simply put, seeds obtained as a result of pollination of flowers of one tomato variety with pollen from another variety.

Why are F1 hybrids so common? The designation F1 stands for very simply: the offspring of the first generation. This designation has been preserved since the time of Mendel (the discoverer of the laws of genetics), he then introduced it as an abbreviation for the Latin Filiale 1, and for us it will be mnemonically easier to use the word “Formation 1”. But the main point is not in the designation, but in the fact that it is the first hybrid generation that has two remarkable properties: - the first property, according to the law of uniformity of hybrids of the first generation, is that the similarity of all these plants to each other is higher than that of plants of a well-established varieties; - the second property is that first-generation hybrids have increased vitality, they are larger than their parents and grow faster than them, and most importantly, they are more resistant to diseases - this phenomenon is called “heterosis” in genetics.

So, do not try to save the seeds of the hybrids you like; the F2 hybrid generation grown from these seeds will not have either the first or second properties. The only thing you may be able to get from them is to find out which varieties were the parents of the F1 generation hybrids.

Tomato Peter 1: characteristics and description of the variety

This hybrid is early ripening - 4 months pass from the time the sprouts appear until the tomatoes ripen.

Tomatoes of this variety, according to the recommendations of experts, are grown both in greenhouse conditions and in garden beds. In the presence of additional lighting, Peter 1 tomato is cultivated in greenhouses from early spring to late autumn.

Tomato Peter 1 seeds

The tomato bushes of this hybrid are of the determinate type, medium-leafed, low - the height of the central shoot reaches 55-70 cm. The foliage is typically tomato, dark emerald in color. The flowers are simple, the first flowers appear above 3-4 permanent leaves. The stalks are without articulations.

The yield of the variety is above average - up to 2-2.5 kg of crop can be harvested from one plant. The weight of a ripe fruit usually reaches 220-240 g, the shape of ripe tomatoes is flat-round, the skin is smooth, dense, does not crack even during long-distance transportation, its color is deep red. The pulp is fleshy, the taste is excellent, due to the high concentration of sugars (up to 2.4%), the ripe fruits are sweet with a slight sourness. Ripe fruits are firmly held on the stalks.

Green fruits can be picked from the bushes and left to ripen at home.

Important! Unripe fruits can be stored for 50-60 days after picking if kept away from ripe fruits.

This hybrid tolerates transportation well without losing its qualities.

The harvested crop has universal properties - it is recommended to use the fruits fresh, salt, pickle, prepare juice or tomato puree.

Hybrid Peter 1 is highly resistant to major diseases.

Productivity

The average productivity of 1 bush is 3.5-4 kg. From 1 m2 they collect 8-10 kg.

When choosing a new variety (hybrid), first of all, pay attention to the characteristics:

• ripening period;
• disease resistance;
• purpose of use;
• type of bush;
• color, shape, weight and purpose of a ripe fruit;
• productivity.

Ripening time

The plant belongs to the group of tomatoes with medium ripening periods. For tomatoes included in this group, the fruits begin to ripen after 105-110 days. The countdown is not from the day the seeds are sown in the ground, but from the day the green sprouts appear. Knowing the ripening time, the time for sowing seeds for seedlings is determined.

The timing is almost the same for the Urals, the Middle Zone and Siberia. It is better to sow in the first ten days of March. In mid-May, you can transplant 60-day-old seedlings into a greenhouse (tunnel), and pick the first tomatoes at the end of June or early July.

The hybrid will make optimal use of the greenhouse space. Powerful bushes reach 2 meters in height. Peter the Great is an indeterminate plant by type of growth, which needs to be pinched at its growth point. Without pinching the crown, the bush will grow until the end of the growing season.

Bushes need strong support. Old style wooden stakes or lightweight plastic stakes will do. There are two ways to plant seedlings:

1. Place 3 bushes per 1 m² and form them into 2 stems.
2. Place 4 bushes per 1 m² (dense planting), form into 1 stem, removing all stepsons.

Original, elongated, pepper-shaped fruits with a small spout, small in size, have a good tomato taste. The weight of an average fruit is 100-120 g, length 12 cm. The color of the skin and pulp of a ripe fruit is bright red. The pulp is dense, the percentage of dry matter is high.

The skin is durable and protects the fruit from cracking during preservation. The purpose of the fruits is universal, but the best option for using them would be to make canned tomatoes. The fruits of the hybrid are perfect for making sun-dried tomatoes.

Features of care

At least 2 months must pass from the moment the first shoots appear and the seedlings are transplanted into the greenhouse (tunnel). The manufacturer's instructions contain recommendations regarding the age of seedlings. It is recommended to replant 60-day-old seedlings; they adapt faster, grow and begin to bear fruit.

The plant is indeterminate and has great growth vigor. For good fruiting, it needs to create certain conditions:

• a bed filled with organic matter and mineral fertilizers;
• compliance with the recommended planting density;
• the presence of a strong support;
• watering;
• root and foliar feeding;
• removal of stepsons and leaves;
• partial collection of brown fruits that have not reached ripeness;
• regular monitoring of air humidity in the greenhouse.

Add superphosphate in the fall, a tablespoon per square meter. I'm going to dig up without breaking the clods. In winter, cover it with a thick layer of snow. In the spring, scatter ammonium nitrate (1 tbsp. l/m²) over the surface, dig up the ground, level it with a rake, and mark holes. At the end of April or in May, transplant the seedlings.

The first Peter the Great tomatoes ripen at the end of June - July, the harvest ends in September. During this time, farmers manage to collect up to 10 kg of fruits from 1 square meter. m greenhouse.

The variety is good for fresh consumption and for preservation. The taste and density make it possible to prepare sauces, juices, and tomato paste from these tomatoes. When preserving whole fruits, the strong skin does not burst. The Peter the Great variety is perfect for withering.

Hybrid tomatoes tolerate transportation well and are stored for a long time, so surplus crops can always be sold at a profit. After picking, brown or green fruits are sent to ripen using the traditional method: they are laid out in wooden boxes in 2-3 layers, covered with paper.

The yield from each bush varies from 2.5 to 5 kg, i.e. The yield per 1 m2 reaches 10 kg.

Recommended regions for cultivation: middle zone and Moscow region. It also produces a good harvest when grown in more southern regions.

Advantages and disadvantages

The description of the variety and characteristics of the Tsar Peter tomato show that these tomatoes have many positive qualities:

• bushes are compact, low;
• good yield;
• excellent commercial quality of ripe fruits;
• the versatility of the fruit - they can be used both fresh and prepared;
• high resistance to major diseases;
• The crop tolerates transportation well.

There are no disadvantages noted in this hybrid. Peter 1 will take a worthy place on the site and will thank you for your care with an excellent harvest.

Fruit differences

Tomatoes reach a weight of 250 g, the main mass is 200-220 g, flat-round in shape, fleshy, smooth and dense, do not crack. Tomatoes have a distinct red color and hold well on the stalk.

As the description of the Peter the Great variety says, it has a universal purpose. It is equally good fresh, canned and processed. Ripe tomatoes are used to make salads, sauces, snacks, caviar, tomato puree, paste, juice, marinades and jam. Unripe fruits are salted and pickled.

Important! Tomatoes collected in green and brown form can be ripened by placing them next to red ones. Forced ripening has been practiced for a long time

Green, pink, brown and blanc tomatoes are placed in 2-3 layers in wooden boxes. Several ripened fruits are evenly placed in rows, the main thing is that they are not spoiled or wrinkled. After some time, unripe tomatoes will turn red. The taste characteristics of tomatoes ripened in this way are satisfactory.

Description of the method

The method of growing tomatoes with 2 roots helps solve a number of problems. In this way, you can give greater vitality to those seedlings that did not have enough light, and therefore they grew thin, long and weak (read about methods of growing seedlings and rules for caring for them here). Or there are too many seedlings, and using this method you can use all the young plants, planting them in a relatively small area.

The essence of this method is to combine two plants into a single organism, which will have a beneficial effect on the condition of the tomato bush and its productivity, because two root systems will feed one above-ground part.
