The ability to produce crops in small summer cottages and large farms makes Anyuta tomatoes very popular in Russia. But of course, these are not all the advantages of the variety. The characteristics of the Anyuta tomato are complemented by: double yield, ease of care, favorable reviews from gardeners.

The early-ripening hybrid, which has taken root in the southern beds, never ceases to delight both beginners and professionals in the gardening world with delicious tomatoes.

Characteristics and description of the tomato variety Anyuta

The variety of hybrid tomatoes Anyuta belongs to the determinant type. The height of the bushes reaches no more than 70 cm. The bushes have a large number of green leaves. The powerful stem makes it possible to do without a garter for a low-growing plant, but numerous reviews of the Anyuta F1 tomato variety advise not to ignore this point: without a garter, under the weight of ripe vegetables, the bushes fall to the ground.

The variety was bred in Russia. It is distinguished by its unique early ripening: 85-95 days pass from sowing the seeds to ripening the fruits. This factor gives an advantage: gardeners harvest twice per season. The first harvest begins at the end of June, and by mid-August the second wave of tomatoes ripens. Under favorable weather conditions, fruiting continues until mid-September.

Resistance to late blight is average, but the variety is practically not affected by tobacco mosaic and blossom end rot.

The fruits are round in shape, slightly flattened on top, and are not prone to cracking. The average weight of a vegetable is 90 - 120 g.The color is red, pronounced, which is clearly visible in the photograph.

Ripe vegetables are recommended mainly for fresh use. But re-harvesting is successfully used for winter harvesting.

The average yield of one bush is 2.5 kg, provided that 6-7 plants are planted per 1 square meter. m.

The fruits are distinguished by their shelf life during long-term storage and can withstand long transportation.

How to grow seedlings

Sowing of seeds begins in the last ten days of March. But the specific timing is influenced by the climatic features of the region.

Before planting, seeds are determined for suitability by placing them in a saline solution. To do this, dissolve 1 teaspoon of salt in a glass of water. Floated seeds are not suitable for sowing. The rest are washed well in clean water. Soaking seeds in a growth stimulant increases germination. To germinate the grains, they are placed in a damp cloth for 1-3 days.

Reference! Seeds for planting next year should not be selected from the hybrid variety yourself. This will not give any result. Purchase planting material from specialized stores.

After the first shoots appear, the seeds are planted in prepared soil. A mixture of peat and humus at a ratio of 2:1 is suitable. You can sow seeds in wooden boxes, plastic glasses, peat pots. A thin layer of drainage from small pebbles or wood shavings and soil are poured into the containers.

The soil is moistened and the sprouted grains in a damp cloth are placed in shallow (up to 2 cm) holes. After sowing, the soil is leveled from above and watered with water with the addition of growth stimulants. After which the containers are covered with film.

The containers remain in a lighted room where the air temperature is at least +23C.When shoots appear, the film is removed and complex fertilizers are applied.

Picking of seedlings is carried out after the appearance of three true leaves. If seeds sown in individual containers, picking is not required.

2 weeks before planting young bushes in open ground, seedlings begin to harden. The hardening process comes down to keeping the seedlings in the open air for a certain time: from 1-2 hours to 1 day. At night, the seedlings are removed to a room where the air temperature is no more than +13C.

Advice! Before planting tomatoes in the garden, young plants must withstand being outdoors for at least 14 hours.

How to grow tomatoes

A plot of land for a permanent place for tomatoes is prepared in advance. In the fall, the soil is dug up and fertilized; in the spring, weeds are loosened and removed.

Sprouts are planted in open ground in mid-May in the evening or on a cloudy day. In the greenhouse the plant will take root in early May. The main condition: the air temperature at night should remain at +15. By the time the seedlings are transplanted, they already have a powerful stem, the height of which is not less than 25 cm.

Tomatoes are planted in beds in a checkerboard pattern with a distance of 35 cm between the bushes in the row. The row spacing is 65 cm. A few days before transplanting, nitrogen fertilizers are applied to the soil.

First watering carried out three days after planting.

Reference! Water strictly at the root, without splashing drops of water on the surface of the soil, to avoid shedding of flowers and damage by fungal diseases.

Until the first ovaries appear, it is enough to keep the soil moist. As soon as the fruits begin to gain weight and color, the volume of watering is increased. But there is no need to allow the soil to become waterlogged; this will affect the taste of the vegetables and can lead to cracking of the fruits.

After watering, the soil is loosened, the bushes are hilled up and weeds with roots are removed. To better retain moisture, they resort to mulching beds with sawdust or peat. Mulching also promotes better development of the root system.

The first feeding is carried out after 3 weeks. Use nitrophoska and liquid fertilizer “Ideal”: 1 tablespoon of each per 10 liters of water. 0.5 liters of solution is poured under each caste.

The first flower clusters require a new portion of fertilizer. “Senor Tomato” works well here (1 tablespoon per 10 liters of water). For one bush, 1 liter is enough. After the next three weeks, apply a superphosphate solution (1 tablespoon per 10 liters of water).

Organic matter is good as a fertilizer, for example, bird droppings or weed infusion. The concentrate ratio is 1:15, to avoid burns to the plant roots.

Reference! The application of organic fertilizers increases the number of ripe fruits.

With weak development of bushes, foliar feeding, for example, a urea solution, helps. The vegetable crop is sprayed with it, having previously dissolved 1 tablespoon of fertilizer in 5 liters of water.

According to the stated characteristics and numerous reviews, the Anyuta F1 tomato does not require pinching, but gardeners have differing opinions about the garter. Experienced gardeners do not recommend neglecting the garter.

Diseases and pests

Average resistance of tomato crop to late blight obliges to know methods of prevention and control of this disease.

The affected parts of the plant are removed, followed by treatment with Bordeaux mixture, Barrier, and Fitosporin.These drugs destroy the fungal spores that cause the infection. Copper sulfate is used to prevent diseases.

Reference! When fruits ripen, it is recommended to use biological rather than chemical agents.

Plants are protected from harmful insects by covering the beds with wood ash or tobacco dust. Regular inspection of bushes for the presence pests is also an effective method of prevention.

The nuances of growing in open ground and in a greenhouse

This variety is suitable for growing outdoors only in regions with warm climates. A shaded area will not suit this crop; it needs a lot of light: lack of lighting will affect fruiting.

To obtain the maximum amount of fruit, farmers use an agricultural technique - growing on double roots. It begins at the picking stage. Two sprouts are planted in one container with a distance of no more than 1 cm. After the seedlings take root, small cuts are made on the sides with which they are directed towards each other, they are connected and tied with film. When transplanting seedlings into the ground, the weaker top is removed.

Harvesting and application

This early ripening variety bears fruit twice per season. The first vegetables are harvested from the end of June. The second harvest occurs in mid-August and, in warm weather, continues for another month.

Farmers saw material benefits in double harvesting, and the variety began to be successfully used for commercial purposes. In addition, vegetables have a long shelf life, which allows them to be transported over long distances. The shelf life of fresh vegetables is up to 30 days.

In cooking, tomatoes look good in salads, ideally complementing other vegetables. The autumn harvest is suitable for canning, pickling, and twisting.They also prepare other tomato products: ketchups, juices, pastes - in winter, such a solution looks good on any table.

And yet, the main merit of the culture remains the long-term storage of fresh vegetables without loss of gastronomic properties.
