Plant description:

• Powerful root system contributes to the intensive formation of the plant and makes it more stable.
• Very leafy plant, which provides excellent protection of the fruit from the sun.
• Temperature conditions do not affect fruit quality and fruiting intensity.
• The hybrid has increased immunity to mosaic virus, verticillium, fusarium and stolbur, and is also less susceptible to yellow leaf curl and nematode.

Fruit characteristics:

• fruits are oval, ovoid;
• weight from 90 to 120 grams;
• the color of ripe tomatoes is deep red;
• skin is strong, smooth, glossy;
• pulp is dense, fleshy;
• tomatoes lie for a long time and do not deteriorate, keeping their presentation;
• do not crumple during transportation, resistant to damage.

Phenomena tomatoes are ideal for pickling, they make delicious homemade sauces, and they are also suitable for drying.

Growing and care

Phenomena F1 tomato is recommended for growing both in greenhouse conditions and in open ground. Agricultural technology:

• It is recommended to sow seeds for seedlings in March, to a depth of no more than 1 cm.
• After germination, the film must be removed, and the container with sprouts placed in a lighted place. For the first time, you can organize round-the-clock lighting using mirrors or fluorescent lamps.
• During the first week, it is desirable that the temperature regime in the room remains within + 14-16 degrees. After the temperature must be increased to + 20-22 degrees.
• When the first true leaf appears on the sprouts, the seedlings should dive.
• It is recommended to plant seedlings at the age of 35-40 days. Plants are unpretentious and easily take root.
• Tomatoes need periodic top dressing with fertilizers containing nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium.
• Like all early-ripening varieties, Phenomenon does not require the formation of a bush, as the fruits ripen before the bush grows. The stems, although powerful, tend to bend under the weight of the fruit, so they need to be tied up.

The Phenomenon F1 is great for growing in a summer cottage, as well as for cultivation on an industrial scale.

Reviews

Inga Orlova, Moscow:

“Every season I experiment with hybrids. Phenomenon is something. From seedling age it is completely unpretentious, the ovary forms well and the harvest gives excellent. I have it in first place among hybrids.”

Lyudmila Yesenina, Krasnoyarsk:

“There really was no trouble with this hybrid. But the taste of tomatoes was not impressed, grassy. Maybe it was the rainy summer.”

Lyudmila Koroleva, Ufa:

“Phenomena is a productive and sustainable hybrid. I remove only ripe tomatoes from the bush, after removal they can lie for another 2-3 months and nothing will happen to them. I mainly use it for recycling.”
