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

Tomato Effect started on the seed market in 2008 from the originator Agrofirm Poisk. The tomato has been highly praised by vegetable growers and considered ideal for fresh salads. Seed producers gave the following characteristics and description of the variety:

• medium (115-120 days);
• bush determinant (65-80 cm);
• yield up to 5 kg/m2;
• resistant to tobacco mosaic virus and Alternariosis;
• tomatoes are delicious, sweet with slight sourness, medium density;
• salad;
• fruit is small (80-100 g), bright red, smooth, rounded;
• universal (for open and protected ground).

The tomato has become widespread mainly as a tomato for fresh vegetable cuts, although the feedback from vegetable growers about canning is also positive.

Growing

Tomato Effect is mid-ripening, the yield is not very high, about 5 kg/m2, but this is typical for tasty salad varieties. The plant spends all its energy pouring juicy tomatoes, losing a little in yield to other less tasty varieties for canning. Fruiting is reliable and stable until the onset of cold weather.

Seedlings

In mid-March, seedlings are sown. The soil mixture is prepared nutritious and loose.

Tip

It is best to take garden soil from the future garden as a basis.

So it will be easier for seedlings to adapt after transplantation. Organic components need to be added to the soil: compost, humus. For friability and lightening, they add a little sawdust, peat and sand.

Important!

Sawdust should always be steamed with boiling water before use.

The soil is brought into heat at least a day before sowing seedlings and watered with boiling water.

Seeds are planted at a depth of 10 mm at a distance of 2-3 cm from each other. The boxes are covered with foil and placed in a warm place. The optimum temperature for tomato seed germination is 24-25℃. When shoots appear, the film is removed and the temperature must be reduced to 20-21 ℃. Tomatoes Effect is provided with fluorescent lighting for 2-3 hours in the evening so that the sprouts do not stretch out.

After the appearance of 1-2 true leaves, tomatoes dive.

Tip!

If the area allows, it is better to transplant each sprout into a separate pot with a volume of 2-3 liters.

This will allow the plant to develop a normal root system and make it easier to transfer the transplant to the beds. Water the tomatoes moderately, allowing the soil to dry out sufficiently, but preventing the sprouts from wilting. Seedlings are fed 1-2 times with complex mineral fertilizers or mullein infusion.

Seedling hardening

If the weather is good and the temperature during the day rises to 20-24 ℃, then at the age of 5 weeks the seedlings can be hardened off. First, the plants are taken out for 30-40 minutes during the warmest hours, shading from direct sunlight. Every day the time is increased by 1-2 hours. The second week the seedlings are accustomed to the direct rays of the sun. Temperatures below 14-15 ℃ are undesirable for tomatoes; during cold snaps, you can simply arrange long-term ventilation.

If the weather permits, the third week of hardening plants are left outside around the clock. Depending on the region, seedling transplantation is possible from mid-May to early June, at the age of 60-65 days.

Care

Tomatoes Effect are determinant type of growth, so they do not need a garter. Plant height usually does not exceed 65-80 cm. No more than 3-4 plants are planted per 1 m2. It is useful to mulch the soil with sawdust or peat, this will eliminate the need for frequent loosening.

Water the tomatoes moderately, letting the top layer of the earth dry out. This will give a signal to the plant to develop the root system and not outgrow the green mass to the detriment of productivity. Increase watering only during fruiting.

Feed tomato variety Effect 3-4 times, if possible alternating complex mineral and organic fertilizers.

Harvest

After 115-120 days from the moment of germination, you can expect the first harvest of tomatoes Effect. The poured ovary of tomatoes is bright green. Ripe fruits are neat, even, small in size, bright red. The pulp is very tasty, juicy, sweetish, with 3-4 seed chambers.
