Tomato Bourgeois F1 belongs to the determinant varieties of the average ripening period. Mass ripening of fruits occurs on 115 days after the emergence of seedlings. With proper care, the height of the bushes can reach 0.9 m.
Description
The fruits are large, up to 400 g, round, slightly flattened. The skin is smooth, the pulp is moderately dense. Tomatoes are used for canning, pickling, making juice and pasta, also consumed fresh.
Tomatoes have high yields. On average, one hectare can be harvested in 90 tons. Tomatoes Bourgeois normally ripen if they are picked in green. The variety can be used for individual and industrial production.
Advantages:
- High and stable yield.
- Long fruiting period.
- Excellent taste.
- Presentable appearance.
- Long shelf life, up to 45 days.
- Resistant to transportation over medium and long distances.
- Resistance to temperature extremes.
- Immunity to disease.
Despite the fact that the plant is not tall, it is advisable to tie it up. Otherwise, breakage of the bush under the weight of the fruit may occur.
The bush is formed into two or three stems. During the period of intensive growth, the plant must be regularly fed with a variety of organic and mineral fertilizers. Planting seedlings in open ground is necessary for 30 days after it sprouts.
This variety is at least resistant to diseases, but still needs to be prevented. Spend loosening the soil, piercing. To obtain a high crop, bushes are watered on time and provide the necessary lighting. In order to avoid the appearance of ticks and slugs, it is necessary to treat the plant with a soap solution. You can apply the drug from Colorado beetles (Prestige).
Growing seedlings
The soil should be light and nutritious. You can take the finished soil mixture and add a sixth of the sand.
- When preparing the soil yourself, you need to mix humus, peat and sand in a ratio of 2: 2: 1. Two weeks before sowing, pour boiling water over it and warm in the oven for 20 minutes at a temperature of 180 degrees. Thus, the soil is disinfected, which will help protect seedlings from diseases.
- From sowing to planting in open ground, it takes about 115 days to fully form a tomato. Accordingly, they begin to prepare seeds in the last days of February. Pre-soak the seeds in a small container, covering them with a bag to avoid drying out.
- Distribute the sprouted seeds in finished containers, partially covered with a soil mixture, cover with soil, compact. For the period of the first week, you can cover the containers with a film or bag to prevent drying out and achieve a higher temperature.
- With the emergence of seedlings, remove the package, rearrange the seedlings in a bright place. Water moderately, avoiding stagnation of water in the pan (this can lead to decay and the appearance of a "black leg").
Plant nutrition is carried out only after the appearance of two main leaves or 10 days after transplantation into separate containers if picking was used. Before dressing, spill plants with clean, warm, settled water, and then spill with fertilizer.
Feeding options:
- per 1 liter of water 4 g of superphosphate, 3 g of potassium sulfate, 1 g of ammonium nitrate;
- a glass of ash powder in a bucket of water;
- finished preparations (“Fitosporin” - a biologic preparation or “Gulliver” - a growth stimulator, etc.).
Top dressing is repeated once every 14 days.To seedlings do not extend in one direction, periodically turn it. In late April, seedlings are recommended to be transshipped in larger containers. If it is possible not to damage the root system, then there will be no stunting.
Bush formation
Due to this, the load decreases in the early stages of bush growth, the plant blooms earlier and enters the fruiting phase. In the future, the bush continues its growth without any formation. Beds with tomatoes should be well ventilated, otherwise there is a risk of infection with fungal diseases. At temperatures below 12 degrees, tomatoes lose their ripening ability.
Hybrid Bourgeois F1 will delight a stable crop in any weather. And under favorable climatic conditions and proper agricultural technology, the yield can reach up to 120 tons per hectare. Bourgeois tomatoes are suitable for both individual use and industrial production.
