Tomato Alyoshka F1 - description and characteristics of the variety

Tomato Aleshka belongs to the early varieties. Seeds for seedlings are planted in March. Like any tomato, this variety needs top dressing, watering, hardening. Planted in open ground or in a greenhouse. Ripe tomatoes are red in color. This variety began to grow relatively recently, but due to the high yield and good taste, it enjoys well-deserved attention of gardeners.

Growing seedlings and care

Seeds are pre-disinfected in a solution of potassium permanganate, and then washed with clean water and planted in previously prepared soil. Practice has shown that soil with clay and sand content is most suitable for this variety and contributes to increased productivity. In the absence of such, fertile land or a mixture bought in a store is suitable.

Seeds are placed in the ground to a depth of two to three centimeters. A warm, sunny place will facilitate rapid germination. After the appearance of two leaves on the stem, it is necessary to transplant the seedlings into a more spacious container. This manipulation helps strengthen the root, stem.

After two weeks after transplantation, bait should be done. For this variety, a mixture of ordinary water, ammonium nitrate, superphosphate is recommended. The amount of fertilizer for this mixture depends on the state of seedlings. For example, with a weak root system, the content of superphosphate is increased. Proper care of plants at this stage allows you to grow healthy seedlings.

To seedlings better "settled down" in the open ground, engage in its hardening. In the first half of April, place containers with seedlings in a heated greenhouse. In connection with a decrease in temperature, growth in height slows down, the stem becomes more voluminous, stable, and the root strengthens. Without such a procedure, the plant will "take root" for a long time to new conditions in the open ground, despite the fact that this variety is resistant to disease.

Care for tomatoes after transplanting into the ground

1. In early May, it is recommended that seedlings are planted in the soil, which is prepared in advance. For looseness, sand and manure are added to the soil. Due to the fact that the stem is relatively high and reaches 150 centimeters, adjust the distance when planting seeds.
2. Remember that the plant loves light and warmth.
3. Tomatoes of this variety are not so demanding compared to some other varieties, but some care must be present. Loosen the topsoil as needed.
4. Watering is mandatory, but in moderation.
5. Try feeding regularly. To do this, use any humus. When preparing the mixture, observe proportions so as not to harm the plant.

Treatment of tomatoes for diseases during the ripening period

The appearance of aphids on tomatoes is indicated by a white substance that is secreted by this parasite and deposited on the leaves. This disease spreads very quickly, so spraying with a decoction, such as garlic, will not give a positive result. It is best to use special chemicals.

Medvedka destroys the plant from the ground by eating the root. No spraying will help. The process of combating this disease is laborious and is divided into two ways. Firstly, a special chemical preparation must be buried in the ground to a certain depth. Secondly, dig up the ground under the bush, find the larvae that are set aside and destroy them. Manure can be the source of this type of disease, so it must be excluded from feeding.

Harvesting

In late August, you can start harvesting. The fruits of this variety have a pleasant taste. Used mainly for the preparation of fresh salads, as well as tomato for long-term use. Putting tomatoes in a cool storage will extend the possibility of their use in kind.

Despite the fact that this tomato variety loves warmth and sunlight, it can be planted in any region. However, it must be borne in mind that this variety gives an unstable crop, which is facilitated by adverse climatic conditions or insufficient care.
