Recommended for growing in open ground under film shelters in personal backyard plots. Allowed for cultivation in the West Siberian region. Refers to an early maturing variety, unpretentious in care.
Description of tomato Kemerovets
Tomato Kemerovets belongs to the standard plant with a determinant type of growth. Low-growing bushes do not reach a height of 80 cm. The leaves are medium in size, dark green in color. The foliage of the bush is not strong. The inflorescence is simple - a stalk with an articulation. The stem is strong, withstands a large number of fruits. According to reviews and photos of those who planted the Kemerovets tomato, it is recommended to tie the plant to a support.
Description of fruits
The fruits of the Kemerovets tomato variety are heart-shaped, with weak ribbing. Unripe tomatoes are light green with a dark spot at the stalk. Ripe fruits are pink-crimson in color. The variety is multi-nested, in one fruit there are 6 or more nests. Fruit weight - from 60 to 104 g.
According to reviews and photos, Kemerovets tomatoes can reach a maximum weight of 150 g. The fruit pulp is dense. The taste is pleasant, tomato, with sweetness. Kemerovets tomatoes are used for fresh consumption, but they are also ideal for whole-fruit canning.
Characteristics of tomato Kemerovets
The Kemerovets variety belongs to tomatoes with an early ripening period. Reaches ripeness 3 months after germination. The plant does not require formation and pinching.
On a low bush, many ovaries are formed. Fruiting within a few weeks. The yield is 3-5 kg per plant. The yield of marketable fruits is 93-100%. The variety of Siberian selection is distinguished by cold resistance, resistance to late blight.
Advantages and disadvantages
The advantage of the Kemerovets tomato variety is the possibility of growing them in the open field. The variety is acclimatized and suitable for cultivation in the Northern regions.
Other advantages of the Kemerovets tomato variety:
- a small bush that does not require much space on the site;
- high productivity;
- early ripening;
- fruits of high commercial quality;
- compact tomatoes;
- the bush does not require formation, which is especially suitable for novice gardeners;
- fruits are easily transported;
- suitable for conservation;
- resistant to late blight.
There were no minuses in the Kemerovets tomato variety.
Growing rules
To obtain early production, the Kemerovets tomato variety is grown through seedlings. Determinant tomatoes are distinguished by the fact that they independently complete their growth with a flower brush. Therefore, during their cultivation, the top of the plant is not pinched. Determinant tomatoes lay the first flower cluster earlier than other varieties. Tomato Kemerovets is easy to grow and care for.
Sowing seeds for seedlings
Due to the small growth of the bush, the seedlings also turn out to be compact and strong. The cotyledonous knee is low, several cm long. The first flower raceme appears above 6-7 leaves, the next ones - after a few leaves.
The sowing time is calculated depending on the conditions in which the seedlings will be transferred. It will take 40-45 days to grow seedlings, by which time a week is added for the sprouts to emerge and another week for the adaptation of seedlings after the pick.
The soil is disinfected by calcining or freezing. The soil is also disinfected with the help of a fungicide; for this, it is spilled with a bio-solution several days before planting.
A coconut substrate is also suitable for growing tomato seedlings; pathogenic microflora is formed in it to a lesser extent. The coconut substrate always remains loose, which is important for the formation of a strong root system of plants.
Before sowing, seeds are germinated in a damp tissue, pre-soaked in growth stimulants. Germination helps identify live seeds and also allows the sprouts to emerge quickly and evenly from the soil.
When sowing in a common planting container, the distance between the seeds is maintained at 2 cm. When grown in separate containers, two seeds are placed in one hole. Later, when both sprouts emerge, a stronger seedling is left. A weak plant is cut with disinfected scissors at the soil level.
When planting in separate cups, tomato seedlings must also be dived. For the initial planting, small containers are taken, because the soil, which is not occupied by roots, quickly decays.
Growing tomato seedlings of the Kemerovets variety:
- Seeds are planted in moist soil, deepening no more than 1 cm.
- The crops are covered with foil and removed to a warm place. Containers with crops are not placed on heating devices.
- The film is periodically removed for ventilation.
- To moisten, the crops are sprayed from a finely dispersed spray bottle, but only when the soil dries up.
- A few days after sowing, the first shoots loops appear. At this moment, the shelter is removed and the containers are placed in places with natural or artificial lighting. In the first days, the seedlings must be illuminated for a full day, then a 14-hour light regime is set.
- At the time of emergence, it is important to reduce the temperature of the seedlings to + 18 ° C. This slows down the growth of the vegetative mass in favor of the beginning of the formation of the root system. Then the growing temperature is maintained in the range of + 20 ° C ... + 22 ° C.
- When a pair of true leaves appear, the plants are transplanted into looser containers in which they will be grown before transplanting into open ground.
Water the seedlings when the top layer of the soil dries. When watering, it is necessary to soak the earth lump completely. Tomatoes can be watered with fungicide solutions once a month to prevent fungal diseases.
Transplanting seedlings
For transplanting into open ground, Kemerovets tomato beds have been prepared since last season. Plots are selected, observing the crop rotation. Favorable predecessors of nightshades are pumpkin varieties of vegetables and cabbage.
During autumn digging, mineral or organic fertilizers are applied to the soil. The number of which depends on the initial soil fertility.
In the open field under film shelters, you can use a planting scheme of 30 by 40 cm. Plants are placed in a checkerboard pattern.
The hardened seedlings are transferred to the ground at the onset of constant positive temperatures above + 10 ° C. For better heating of the soil when growing tomatoes, high ridges are used. For a plant with many fruits, a subsequent garter will be required, so a support stake is placed next to the planting in advance.
Before planting, do water-charging watering of the soil. To do this, warm water is poured into the hole while it is absorbed. Then, at the bottom of the hole, gruel from soil and water is mixed, seedlings are planted in it. The seedlings are watered the day before planting so that they are better removed from the planting container. This will allow less trauma to the roots, the plant will take root faster in the open field. Then the planting is covered with dry soil, lightly pressed. After planting, tomatoes are not watered for about 2 weeks.
Proper care rules
Caring for a Kemerovets tomato is simple. The bush does not require pinching and shaping. During the growing season, several dressings are carried out using ash and herbal infusions for this. Potash fertilizers are applied a week after planting. Potassium influences the formation and ripening of fruits. When using mineral fertilizers, do not use those that contain chlorine.
Kemerovets tomatoes are watered with warm water, without affecting the green parts of the plant. To protect the roots in open ground, the soil is mulched. Reception allows you to maintain the required level of moisture, protects the vegetative mass from contact with the soil. The soil under the mulch remains airy and germinates less weeds... For mulching, organic materials are used, for example, cut grass, compost, as well as artificial ones - agrofibre or film.
Conclusion
Tomato Kemerovets is an early, highly productive variety. Heart-shaped pink fruits are formed on the bush in large quantities. The bush does not require formation, removal of lateral shoots. Suitable for farming zones with difficult climates. Resistant to late blight.
