Determinant hybrid of tomatoes Solersoso F1

Today we look at another hybrid of tomatoes, which has a limited growth. Many varieties and hybrids of tomatoes are used for various needs: some are grown for sale fresh, while others are processed, and they are used to make tomato juice or high-quality pasta.

You will learn why they use the tomato "Solersoso", as well as its characteristics and detailed description of the variety.

Description and photo

Traditionally we begin with a description and a photo of a plant that we will sow on our site. We describe the main varietal differences.

Bushes

The above-ground part of the plant is a low, up to 50 cm, medium-spanned shrub that has an average green mass.

Sheet plates are painted in dark green color, have medium size and standard shape.

It is worth noting that the aerial part, during the ripening of the fruit, receives too much load and therefore the stems can lie down.

Fruit

Now let's talk about what the fruits of a hybrid are and how good they are. The fruit has a purely round shape, weighs up to 60 g. The color during the removable ripeness is bright red, without any spots or clarifications. The skin is thin, but rather dense. The flesh has an average density. Fruits have good resistance to cracking.

Pay attention to the distinctive varietal trait: the fruit has about 6 seed chambers, which are shaped like walnut kernels.

The fruits are used for canning and getting juice. Only fully ripe berries are suitable for fresh consumption, as the immature variant will have questionable taste qualities.

Fruits are formed on the hands, each of which matures up to 6 berries.

Characteristic variety

Tomato "Solerosso" has a good description, but it is also worth describing the variety of the main parameters. "Solersoso F1" ripens in 90 days. Variety is called both early and superearly.It is a determinant hybrid of the first generation, which was bred in the early 2000s in Holland.

Also, the hybrid has a good yield. Subject to the landing schemes, with 1 square. m, you can get up to 8 kg of products with excellent taste and product qualities.

As for climate and weather conditions, the tomato can be grown in a warm or temperate climate. Is suitable both for an open ground, and for greenhouses. If the cultivation is carried out in a cold climate, then a heated greenhouse is required.

Advantages and disadvantages

Each variety and hybrid has its strengths and weaknesses, which are worth knowing before buying seed.

Pros:

• disease resistance;
• bushes have a compact form;
• can be grown both in the greenhouse and in the open field;
• fruits have excellent commercial quality;
• the berry is not afraid of transportation;
• fruits ripen at the same time;
• good yield;
• excellent taste.

Minuses:

• in the absence of proper care, the yield will be low;
• need a garter bushes;
• with removable ripeness, the fruits have not the best taste indicators;
• impossible to grow in a cold climate.

Growing seedlings

After the acquisition of varietal seeds, you need to make the right sowing in order to get good germination, as well as take care of the seedlings before picking.

To begin with, think about the month in which warm weather sets in without sharp fluctuations in temperature. This is necessary if you are going to grow tomatoes in the open field.

Further from this month we subtract 60 days. It is at this time you need to make sowing of seeds for seedlings.

To get fast shoots and strong enough seedlings, it is necessary to purchase peat tablets and growth stimulant. We will plant the seeds not in the ground, but in separate tablets, so that the seed will immediately receive the required amount of nutrients. We need a growth stimulator for the rapid development of the root system and the full growth of green mass by the plant.

After you have sown, the boxes / pots of soil should be moved to a warm place where the temperature does not fall below +25 ° C. As soon as the first shoots appear, the boxes are moved to a sunny place, keeping the temperature regime.

As for irrigation, they need to produce a warm defended water. The soil should always be wet, but you should not oversaturate with moisture.

Pick up seedlings spend exactly 2 months. A day before transplantation, it is better to stop watering, so that the earthen room is easier to remove from the pot or box. It is better to choose a sunny day when the air temperature and humidity are in the range comfortable for a person. It is worth noting that if the weather suddenly deteriorated (cooling or prolonged rains), then you can wait with a pick. The variety has an ideal trait - during transplantation during flowering, the ovary will not fall off, so you should not worry and hurry.

Grade Care

Immediately after picking seedlings, it needs to be watered. Watering is not required only in case of heavy rains or the ground is over-humid.For a good harvest, it is better to resort to drip irrigation, as it will give the best results.

You can also use standard watering from a hose.

Further care is to loosen the soil, garter and remove weeds. To reduce the load and get more free time, you can mulch the landing. So you prevent the emergence of weeds and reduce the evaporation of moisture from the soil. Since the soil will not dry out and the mulch will provide shelter for the worms, aeration will be at the proper level.

As for the garter, it is better to do it when the berries are just beginning to be tied so that the plants simply do not fall to the ground.

You can install stakes near each bush and tie up to them, or pull the wire, installing only a few strong pillars.

Diseases and pests

Above, we talked about the fact that this tomato hybrid is resistant to major diseases, therefore, we will consider further diseases and pests that can still "settle" on your plantings. As for the main diseases of the nightshade, the hybrid has excellent resistance to them. Since the variety is early, the destruction of fruits by late blight is not observed.But fungal diseases can significantly harm the tomatoes, reducing yields.

If tomatoes grow in waterlogged soil, then they will be affected by gray, basal or summit rot.

To prevent the occurrence of fungus, you must either mulch the soil with dry materials that do not accumulate water, or constantly loosen and control the introduction of moisture.

To prevent the appearance of the fungus, you can treat the planting with a weak solution of potassium permanganate. Such a "medicine" will not make products less environmentally friendly. If the lesions are significant, then it is already necessary to use fungicides of a broad spectrum of action.

"Solersoso F1" can also be affected by various pests, namely:

• aphid;
• slugs;
• Medvedka;
• thrips.

You can cope with aphids by treating the beds with soap and water (soap is used). To combat slugs, ordinary alcohol is great. But to combat flying pests need to use insecticides.

With Medvedka it will be more difficult, since she does not react much to simple folk methods. For this reason, it is better to use directional chemicals, such as Medvedtoks-U and Aktar 25 WG.

Now you know what sort of tomato is great for both sales and personal use. The presence of resistance to major diseases allows you to grow clean products, and the versatility of use gives space for hostesses. Follow our guidelines for planting and grooming to get a good harvest.
