Tomato Fatty - hybrid of the first generation f1. Represented by Russian breeders of the Sedek agricultural company. Medium, short. It is unpretentious in care, easily adapts to cultivation conditions, that is, it has good plasticity.

Basic Description

Determinate bushes, height 70-80 cm. Medium foliage, dark green leaves, medium size. Inflorescence simple, peduncle with articulation. The variety is included in the state register of the Russian Federation for all climatic zones. Suitable for growing outdoors and under cover. Recommended for cultivation in private farms.

Fruit characteristics:

• ripe red tomatoes;
• flat-round shape;
• weight 200-300g;
• yield from 1 square. m. about 8 kg.

The main advantage of the hybrid is large-fruitedness with a relatively small height of the bushes. Fruits of a good trade dress with excellent tastes. The pulp is multi-chamber with a small amount of seeds. Tomatoes are suitable for long-term storage and transportation. Tomatoes are dense, smooth, resistant to cracking. The variety is rarely affected by the following diseases:

• verticillium;
• different types of rot.

Tomato ripening occurs 105-110 days after mass germination. Salad variety. Good fresh and for preparations.

Planting and care

Fatty tomato seeds are sown in mini-greenhouses 60-65 days before planting in the ground. The germination of the material of this variety is 100%. Mid-ripening tomatoes are planted in a permanent place in the first decade of May.

Determinant variety requires partial formation, removal of stepchildren. The main stem produces 3-4 flower clusters with 5-6 or more fruit clusters. Bushes of the Zhirdyay f1 variety are sprawling with strong stems, per 1 sq. m. 3-4 plants are planted. If the hybrid is "led" into 2 stems, then no more than three bushes.

The variety lays the first flower brush after 5 leaves, the next ones after 1-2. When ovaries begin to form on the bushes, tomatoes are in dire need of potassium. Yields will increase wood ash embedded in the aisle. The soil under the plants is watered with a liquid solution (on a bucket of water):

1. 2 tbsp. l. ash.
2. 1 tbsp l. superphosphate.

During the active growing season, tomato variety Zhirdyay f1 needs minerals. It is convenient to use complex compositions: nitroammofoska, nitrofoska.

Many gardeners confuse the fat hybrid and the mid-late fat man f1. The large-fruited indeterminate Fat Man is represented by the same manufacturer. In terms of yield, it is inferior to the Fatty hybrid, it is more demanding in care.

Harvesting and storage

Tomatoes are stored for a long time on the bushes. However, it is not worth waiting for complete biological maturation. Thus, the development of other fruits is delayed. Tomatoes ripen well laid out in a well-ventilated place. Hard green fruits should not be removed, as they have not yet completed their growth phase. With the appearance of a light shade, the tomatoes can be removed for ripening.

For long-term storage, it is better to select late varieties of unprotected tomato. Mid-early Fatty f1, collected at the stage of technical ripeness, in a cool room (+5 … +7 ° C) is stored for several months. Refrigerate in the lower vegetable drawer for 1-2 weeks.

Reviews of gardeners characterize Fatty as a "tomato sumo wrestler", left on one brush 2-3 tomato ovaries grow up to 400-500 g.
