Tomato Slavyanin: characteristics and description of the variety, yield with photo

The frost-resistant, mid-season tomato Slavyanin was created by breeders of the West Siberian Experimental Station. A distinctive feature of the variety are fruits with a pink color, pear-shaped. Pink-fruited tomatoes have an excellent taste and are traditionally classified as salad varieties. But the Slavic tomato is a pleasant exception, for the ability to ripen in the open field, forming sweet, beautiful fruits of universal purpose.

Let's get acquainted in more detail with the characteristics and features of caring for the Slavyanin variety, as gardeners evaluate tomato.

Key Features

Usually salad tomatoes are grown in greenhouses so that the fruits have time to ripen under the most favorable conditions. In this case, the content of dry matter and sugar reach maximum values. But the Slavyanin variety is intended for cultivation in unprotected soil conditions. Temporary shelter is used only at the initial stage, when planting seedlings at an earlier date in the ground. Let's look at the description of the variety by the seed producer:

• The tomato is mid-ripening, with a vegetation period of 110-115 days. Therefore, it is grown using seedlings.

• The plant is determinate, well leafy, reaches a height of 1.3 meters, requires the removal of stepchildren. 2 trunks are left on the bush, tying them to a support.
• Fruits of delicate raspberry color, pear-shaped with ribs at the base, weighing 100-135 g. Dense pulp with a high proportion of dry matter.
• Slavianin tomatoes are sweet, universal purpose. The peel does not crack during heat treatment, which allows the use of tomatoes for pickling and pickling.

• Seed producers guarantee a yield of 3-4.9 kg per bush. For outdoor tomatoes with a short growing period, this is a very good indicator.

The combination of characteristics indicates an interesting variety with a rare combination of technical consumer qualities. Gardeners' reviews also characterize the plant as an unpretentious and very reliable variety. But they note that when grown in a greenhouse, the plant pampers and behaves like an indent, continuing intensive, unlimited growth.

Important! The advantage of determinant tomatoes is the early return of the crop. Excess shoots are removed so as not to get a plant overloaded with fruits.

Features of care

For tomatoes grown outdoors, planting dates are chosen taking into account the agro-climatic conditions of a particular area. In central Russia and the West Siberian region, dates can vary significantly, and depend on the transition of average daily temperatures through the plus mark. Agricultural technology:

• Seeds are sown for seedlings from the end of March until the end of the first decade of April. To the place of constant growth, tomatoes are transplanted in the third decade of May with obligatory film shelter, or in the first decade of June. It is advisable to carry out several hardening procedures for seedlings.

• By the time of planting, the plants should have 6-8 leaves and one flower brush. Seedlings should be 60-85 days old. Seedlings are planted according to the scheme 50x60 cm, with the stem tied to a reliable base.
• Another positive characteristic - the variety is not too picky about nutrition. During the growing season, 2-3 phosphorus-potassium fertilizing is carried out, trying not to overfeed the plant with nitrogen fertilizers. The rest of the care is traditional.

Fruit picking is in August. For another two months, the harvested fruits do not lose their presentation.

This makes it possible not only to calmly prepare, but also to consume fresh tomatoes for a long time.
