Tomato Female F1 - a hybrid of the latest generation, is in the experimental cultivation stage. Obtained by crossing an early maturing and frost-resistant variety. The originators of the tomato are employees of the Chelyabinsk breeding station, the copyright holders of the Uralskaya Usadba agrofirm.
Description of the variety
Tomato Female share F1 of an indeterminate type, created for growing in the short summer conditions of Siberia and the Urals. The variety is early maturing, ripens in 3 months from the moment of planting. Recommended for cultivation in protected areas. To get an early harvest, this tomato variety requires a certain temperature regime (+250 C). It is possible to fulfill agrotechnical requirements in a temperate climate only in greenhouses, then the fruits begin to ripen in early July. In the southern regions, the variety is grown outdoors, tomatoes ripen at the end of July.
Tomatoes with unlimited growth in height, without regulation, reach 2.5 m. The growth parameter is determined in accordance with the size of the trellis, approximately 1.8 m. Tomato bush Female F1 does not belong to the standard species, gives a large number of lateral shoots. A strong lower shoot is used to strengthen the bush with a second trunk. This measure relieves the plant and increases the yield.

- The root system is powerful, superficial, spreading to the sides. Provides the plant with nutrition in full.
- The tomato blooms profusely with yellow flowers, the variety is self-pollinated, each flower gives a viable ovary, this feature is the guarantor of a high yield of the variety.
- Tomatoes are formed on long clusters of 7-9 pieces. The first bookmark of the bunch is near the 5th leaf, then after each 4.

- The planting material is laid out at a distance of 1 cm, watered, covered with soil.
- The container is covered with glass or polyethylene.
- They are removed to a lighted room with a constant temperature of +220
After germination, the covering material is removed, the plant is fed with organic matter. After formation, 3 leaves are dived into peat or plastic glasses. Watered at least once every 10 days.
