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

There are an innumerable number of varieties on the seed market, but the Krasnobay tomato is not lost among such a variety. This is a gardener's dream come true - large, plentiful, hardy. Successfully competes with the best foreign and domestic brothers.

Greenhouse hybrid from Gavrish agricultural company

A team of Russian breeders led by Professor S. F. Gavrish has been working purposefully for many years to breed vegetables with desired properties. Good greenhouses became more affordable, and gardeners needed top quality tomatoes.Previous disease-resistant hybrids were too small, and non-hybrid large-fruited varieties in greenhouses were very sick.

The best features were combined by the hybrid tomato variety Krasnobay F1 from the Gavrish seed company. In 2006, the variety was included in the State Seed Registry and recommended for greenhouses of large farms and amateur gardeners.

Hybrids have one significant drawback: seed material has to be purchased anew every year. Fortunately, seeds from Gavrish are cheaper than many foreign analogues. Germination, as a rule, is very good - at least 80 - 90%. Stimulant pre-treatment is not required.

Vegetable "steaks"

Speaking about the variety, it is worth mentioning its main distinguishing characteristics.

Size and shape

Giving a characterization and description of the Krasnobay tomato variety, first of all, large-fruitedness, rare for a hybrid, is noted.The parameter is unique even in comparison with other "beef tomatoes": the size of each fruit in the first and second brush often reaches half a kilogram. The average weight for all camps is 300 - 350 grams.

Tomatoes are even in mass and shape, do not shrink, round-flat, slightly ribbed. Unripe fruits show a dark green spot at the stalk, which disappears completely when ripe.

Consistency

Such vegetables are not in vain dubbed "steaks" - blood-red tomatoes, fleshy, strong, not watery. A picky gourmet, perhaps, will reproach them with harshness. Of course, in taste, hybrids are slightly inferior to non-hybrid varieties with "watermelon" pulp.

But tomatoes like Krasnobay, with a dense skin, are much more transportable, do not crumple during collection and transportation. Another important advantage is excellent keeping quality. Even ripe fruits can be stored until the New Year (and longer) - not only in a cool room, but also in a city apartment.

Destination

Very tasty and beautiful salads are cut from beef tomatoes: fleshy slices do not get wet, they keep their shape perfectly. Blanks come out ideal - pieces canned in gelatin. Excellent, thick juice and tomato paste.

Possibly whole-fruit canning - in barrels. Traditional barrel fermentation without the addition of vinegar is especially successful. It makes sense to cook such an original preparation as sun-dried tomatoes.

Immunity

Greenhouse conditions, in addition to undeniable advantages, create a serious problem: tomatoes in greenhouses often suffer from diseases. The advantage of the Krasnobay F1 hybrid is its high resistance to malicious infections:

1. Successfully resists stem mold and destructive blotches - such as cladosporiosis, leading to half the crop.
2. No danger to Krasnobay and Fusarium wilt.
3. The hybrid is practically not affected by the tobacco mosaic virus.
4. There is no infection of the roots with nematode worms.
5. The well-known TV presenter, agronomist and author of books Oktyabrina Ganichkina, who has grown many different varieties on her plot, notes that Krasnobay is resistant even to late blight attack.

Being unripe, the tomatoes ripen perfectly, do not blacken or rot.

It is very important that you can minimize or completely eliminate chemical treatments of the soil, bushes and fruits, to get environmentally friendly products.

Temperature conditions

Temperature differences do not affect the quantity and quality of fruits. Yields do not drop even in cool and cloudy summers, when tomato bushes are not too comfortable in closed ground.

Krasnobay is especially pleased in autumn in an unheated greenhouse, demonstrating the longest return.

Agrotechnology

Rave reviews about the yield of Krasnobay tomato come from those vegetable growers who follow the basic rules of growing.

Timing

The variety is usually referred to as medium-late, although the tomato is quite suitable for the category of mid-ripening. It begins to ripen 120 days after germination, a couple of months after planting 60-day seedlings. It is quite natural that a large-fruited tomato cannot be early ripening. Fruiting is long, stretched.

You need to sow seeds for seedlings quite early - in February. Of particular importance are the optimal temperature regime, timely picking. Seedlings are prone to stretching, so additional illumination may be needed, the use of the Athlete preparation.

After planting in the greenhouse, young plants grow quickly, need a timely garter.

Normalization

Krasnobay is an indeterminate hybrid, with a genetic tendency to unceasing growth. It fully realizes its potential only in greenhouses with sufficient ceiling height. The first flowers are laid in the axil of the 11th leaf. During the season, the plant is able to successfully form about 8 brushes, after which the apical point of growth is removed.

In the inflorescence there are usually 5 ovaries (if there are more flowers, it is recommended to pluck the extra ones). The brushes are heavy when pouring, they should not be broken, each must be tied up. It is very important to remove all side branches (stepchildren) in a timely manner, leading the plant exclusively into one stem - this is the only way to achieve maximum yield.

The one who planted Krasnobay collected both a bucket and a bucket and a half from one plant. From a square meter, it is realistic to get 30 - 40 kg of standard fruits. Such a crop is given by 3-4 bushes, thickening is unacceptable.

Food

For large-fruited varieties, nutrition is crucial. The soil should not be acidic, otherwise useful substances are poorly absorbed, vertex rot of the fruit appears. Planting holes are filled with a mixture of organic and mineral fertilizers. During the season, several liquid root and foliar top dressings are carried out. They are made complex, with trace elements.

Alternating drought and heavy watering can lead to fruit cracking. It is very important to maintain a constant moderate soil moisture. Mulching works well.
