These tomatoes are suitable for growing both indoors and outdoors. It has been entered in the State Register since 2006 as a variety cultivated in the Central Black Earth region.

Variety description

Small bushes (determinant variety). The leaves are dark green. The beginning of fruit ripening falls on the 90th - 95th day after the appearance of mass inputs. The variety has a high yield. With the right agricultural technology, it is possible to collect at least 6 kg of tomatoes from one bush.

When growing them on an industrial scale, farms harvest 188 -241 c/ha of Morozko tomatoes. In the most successful years, collections up to 500 c/ha were recorded. The marketability of the crop is from 59 to 63%. When stored in cool rooms of vegetable stores, it is possible to save the collected tomatoes for 1 - 2 months.

The characteristics of this hybrid variety show that the tomato grows successfully and bears fruit even under adverse weather conditions.

Possesses increased resistance to diseases (especially Fusarium and TMV). Requires a pinching process, although the number of stems to be cut is small.

After the fifth inflorescence has appeared, pinch the top of the bush, limiting its further growth. Plant height usually reaches the 75-centimeter mark (if grown in greenhouse conditions) and up to a meter in open areas.Up to 6 tomatoes ripen in one brush. As with all hybrid varieties, seeds for growing seedlings must be purchased from specialized outlets.

Morozko's main advantages and disadvantages

Positive qualities of the variety:

• possibility of growth and fruiting under different weather conditions;
• tasting score is 5 out of 5 possible;
• resistance to typical tomato diseases.

The main and practically the only drawback that gardeners complain about is the need to pinch bushes.

Fruit characteristics

Tomato Morozko F1 has a slight ribbing and a flattened shape. The skin of tomatoes is smooth, with a glossy surface. The pouring fruits have a light emerald color, and after ripening they become bright red. Crack resistant.

Tomatoes have 3-4 seed chambers. The pulp has a barely audible sourness. The description of the variety notes that the fruits are small in size, have an average weight of 50 - 75 g, and the largest specimens reach 200 g. Excellent taste. Tomatoes are used for fresh consumption, tomatoes are suitable for processing.

Growing Rules

This variety can be grown in a variety of conditions: in a greenhouse or in open beds. The grown seedlings are planted in the soil at the age of 50 - 55 days after planting the seeds. Tomatoes need to be fed with mineral and organic fertilizers.

For 1 sq. m planted 2 - 3 plants in the greenhouse and 3 - 4 - when planting under a film or in open ground. The tomato has a small leafiness of the stems. It is necessary to form 4 - 5 inflorescences. The 2 lower brushes are considered the strongest and with the largest fruits.

In greenhouse conditions, there is no need for pinching, but when grown in open areas, excess stems are cut off.The main shoot is formed under the fifth inflorescence. The garter of the stems of the Morozko variety is not required. The more fruits on the bush, the longer the process of their ripening. If pinching is carried out, the harvest can be harvested much earlier.

How to grow an early tomato

The most palatable tomatoes with the right combination of sugars and acids are a product of sunlight and photosynthesis.

Early varieties are often less tasty than late and mid-ripening tomatoes, as they spend less time in the sun. But if grown correctly, early varieties can produce very tasty fruits.

Sowing begins by planting seeds 5 to 6 weeks before the last expected frost. After 2 - 3 weeks they are transplanted into other containers to allow the root system to develop freely.

Sun Access

Seedlings must be placed so that they have access to sunlight for at least 16 hours. To do this, install fluorescent lamps. The site for planting seedlings in the ground is selected in such a way as to provide sunlight for 8 hours.

Soil heating

Before planting, the soil warms up. A black film is laid on top of the soil for about 7 to 10 days, then holes are cut in it for planting seedlings when the time comes.

The process of planting in the hole

When planting plants in the soil, make sure that the top leaves are above the surface, lowering the stem down to form additional roots.

Place a handful of well-rotted compost, manure, bone meal or other organic tomato fertilizer, phosphate and potash fertilizers, which are necessary for the development of the root system.

Plants should be planted at a sufficient distance so that the bushes can freely receive air and sunlight, which is especially important for early tomato varieties. Stepchildren should be removed to get earlier tomatoes.

Harvesting

The soil needs to be moist, not dry, to ensure flowering and full fruiting. Intensive watering stops a few days before the expected harvest. This ensures the concentration of sugar and flavor in the fruits.
