Technical maturity of fruits occurs 55-60 days after the transfer of plants to the ground. Reproductivity - high, friendly. The variety belongs to the carpal type. On one brush, from 7 to 9 fruits are formed. The weight of one tomato reaches 150 grams. The shape is elongated, oval. The length of the fruit is about 10 centimeters, the diameter is 5 centimeters.

Advantages and disadvantages

Sir Elian tomatoes are widely used in horticulture due to their positive qualities. They are actively grown for commercial use.

The advantages of the variety include:

• dense peel;
• good keeping quality and fruit transportability;
• quality presentation;
• excellent taste;
• high degree of tying;
• yield;
• rot resistant;
• harmonious ripening of fruits of the same size and shape.

Of the shortcomings, experts distinguish sensitivity to temperature changes.

Plants do not tolerate temperature rise in greenhouses up to 32 degrees or more. Heat contributes to the sterilization of plant pollen. A sharp drop in temperature to 10 degrees also negatively affects reproductive function.

Features of agricultural technology

Tomato Sir Elian is suitable for cultivation in the open field and greenhouses. It is used for cultivation at industrial facilities. The use of the variety for commercial purposes is due to its high-quality presentation and good keeping quality.

Cultivation of the variety is carried out by seedling method. Depending on the region and the period of planting in the ground, seedlings are sown in the middle of winter or early spring. The presence of preliminary factory treatment of seeds does not require their preliminary soaking in a solution of manganese or other antiseptic compounds. Seedlings allow breeding without picking.

Seedlings are planted in the ground 60 days after the appearance of the first shoots. To obtain a high-quality and abundant harvest, a number of rules must be observed.

1. Temperature regime. Plants give a good harvest at stable temperatures. An increase to above 30 degrees or a decrease to 10-14 degrees leads to pollen sterilization and a decrease in crop volume. For this reason, well-lit, but ventilated areas are chosen for plants. In greenhouses in the summer, constant ventilation is organized. The temperature is maintained in the range from 22 to 26 degrees.
2. Water. Plants are moisture-loving. Watering is carried out daily or every other day as the topsoil dries out. Water is applied directly under the root of the plant. In greenhouses it is necessary to regulate the level of humidity. The optimal rate is 70%. With insufficient moisture, the stigmas of the pistil lose their adhesion, high humidity (above 85%) contributes to pollen sticking and poor pollination of inflorescences.
3. Feeding. Plants are regularly fed with complex organic fertilizers.They are applied several times per season with an interval of 20-30 days. At the stage of formation of the ovary, tomatoes are fed with fertilizers containing boron. Its deficiency in the soil can lead to the formation of flowers of poor quality. Excess nitrogen also negatively affects the quality of the ovary.
4. Staging. Plants are large and have powerful stems. For this reason, breeding is usually carried out in two main stems. The remaining side shoots are removed.
5. Garter. Sir Elian is grown by the vertical method. The variety requires a trellis or support.
6. Processing from pests. Tomato variety Sir Elian f1 is resistant to rot and other diseases. It is particularly resistant to Tomato Mosaic Virus, Spot Virus, Fusarium and Verticillium wilt. To prevent the development of diseases, the bushes are regularly inspected, the affected leaves or plants are removed. During the season, 1 or 2 treatments with complex preparations are carried out.
7. Harvest. Harvest is harvested by piece fruits or whole brushes. The fruits ripen together. The first harvest ripens 60 days after planting in the ground.

High reproductive qualities, good transportability and excellent palatability make Sir Elian a favorite among many gardeners.
