Almost all gardeners grow tomatoes. They try to plant varieties whose fruits can be used both for conservation and for salads. Anyuta is just the tomato that looks great in jars and tastes fresh in salads.
Characteristic of the variety
Anyuta bushes grow up to 65-72 cm, the tomato belongs to the determinant varieties. The stalk of the tomato is quite strong, so it is not necessary to tie it up. However, experienced gardeners recommend using additional supports, because bushes can bend and break under the weight of ripe fruits. Anyuta F1 hybrid is characterized by high resistance to some diseases: tobacco mosaic, blossom end rot. Tomato beds can be protected from harmful insects and parasites with the help of wood ash and tobacco dust. Slightly flattened ripe Anyuta fruits do not crack, they are distinguished by a bright red color as in the photo. When ripe, a tomato gains weight on average 96-125 g, 2,3-2,8 kg can be removed from a bush. Anyuta F1 tomatoes are well transported, have an excellent presentation and can be stored at room conditions for about one month.
Already 85-95 days after sowing the seeds, you can start harvesting. Therefore, the Anyuta tomato is considered ultra-early. Some summer residents manage to get two crops per season.
The second sowing of a tomato is done in early May, and from the second half of August, you can start harvesting. If warm autumn weather persists, then tomato bushes continue to bear fruit until mid-September.
The advantages of Anyuta tomato include:
- compact form of bushes;
- early ripening;
- the possibility of growing in greenhouses and open ground;
- excellent keeping quality of Anyuta tomatoes when transported over long distances;
- disease resistance;
- excellent taste qualities.
Gardeners do not distinguish distinctive shortcomings in the tomato variety Anyuta.
Features of growing seedlings
Some gardeners do not like to mess with seeds – they think that it is very troublesome and costly. However, adhering to the rules for growing seedlings, it is quite possible to get excellent seedlings on your own and without much effort.
Landing stages
In order to start picking ripe Anyuta tomatoes early, you should not skip the sowing time. The optimal period is the last decade of March (but it is better to focus on the climatic features of the region).
- The highest quality tomato seed material Anyuta F1 is preliminarily selected. To do this, the grains are dipped into a saline solution (a teaspoon of salt is dissolved in a glass of water). Empty and small seeds float and are not suitable for planting. The rest of the seed material is well washed.
- To increase germination and yield, the grains are pre-soaked (for no more than 12 hours) in special solutions (nutrient mixtures Virtan-Micro, Epin). Then the seeds of Anyuta tomato varieties are placed in a damp cloth and stored in a warm place. Germination takes 1 to 3 days. As soon as the first shoots appear, the grains are planted in a special soil.
- It is recommended to prepare the land in advance – the soil should be nutritious, loose. A thin layer of drainage (small pebbles or wood shavings) and a nutrient mixture are poured into the container. You can prepare the soil yourself, but it is better to use a store-bought special soil mixture.
- In moistened soil, even shallow (1-1,5 cm) grooves are made, where Anyuta F1 tomato seeds are carefully laid out and sprinkled. The entire surface of the soil is compacted (without much effort). The sown area is lightly watered with the addition of a growth stimulator (Previkur Energy). To preserve soil moisture, it is recommended to cover the box with plastic wrap.
As soon as the first seeds germinate, the container is opened and placed in a warm, well-lit place.
When the second leaves appear on the seedlings, you can start planting the Anyuta tomato in separate containers (special mini containers or plastic cups). About two weeks before planting plants in open ground, seedlings begin to harden off: containers are taken out into the open air for a certain time.
If the temperature outside at night does not drop below 13-15˚ C, then Anyuta tomato sprouts can be planted in open ground. By this time, seedlings usually have a powerful stem about 25-30 cm high.
Since Anyuta tomatoes are medium-sized, it is recommended to place the holes in a checkerboard pattern, at a distance of 30-45 cm between the bushes in a row. 60-70 cm are left at the aisle. Sometimes manufacturers recommend a planting pattern on packages.
How to care for tomato beds
The plot for tomatoes is prepared in advance: in the fall, the earth is dug up and fertilized. In the spring, just before planting, the soil is loosened and weeds are removed. Anyuta tomato does not require land of a special composition, it is enough to apply top dressing in a timely manner.
Transplanting tomatoes in the garden is best done in cloudy weather or in the evening. Seedlings should be removed from containers immediately before planting, after moistening the ground in cups.
Watering rules
After planting, the first watering is done after 2-3 days. Water should be tried to be poured under the root of the tomatoes, avoiding the liquid getting on the leaves.
In sunny, dry weather, watering is recommended in the evening so that the water does not evaporate quickly and soaks the soil well. Before the appearance of the first ovary, it should not be parted with irrigation – it is enough to maintain soil moisture at the same level. As soon as Anyuta’s tomato fruits begin to gain mass, it is necessary to increase the amount of watering. But at the same time, it is necessary to moisten the soil regularly, sharp contrasts should not be allowed. A strong drop in soil moisture can lead to cracking of the tomato, slowing down the growth of the ovary.
After moistening, the soil must be loosened. At the same time, weeds are carefully removed and attention is paid to the roots of Anyuta tomato varieties. If the adventitious roots are exposed, then the bushes should be spudded.
Application of fertilizers
Three weeks after transplanting Anyuta tomato seedlings into open ground, the first top dressing is carried out. It is recommended to use liquid fertilizer “Ideal” and nitrophoska (in 10 liters diluted in a tablespoon of each component). Under each bush contribute 500 g of the solution.
When the flower brushes begin to bloom, the next portion of fertilizers is applied. To make a nutrient solution, a tablespoon of Signor Tomato fertilizer is diluted in 10 liters of water. For one tomato bush of the Anyuta variety, a liter of the mixture is enough. After two to three weeks, you can apply a solution of superphosphate (a tablespoon per 10 liters of water).
Organic fertilizer lovers can use bird droppings. To create a solution, take equal amounts of litter and water. The mixture is infused for 3-4 days. In order not to burn the roots of the tomato, the resulting concentrate is additionally diluted with water in a ratio of 1:15. About 2-2,5 liters of fertilizer are poured under each bush.
If there are weak bushes, then it is recommended to carry out foliar feeding – Anyuta tomatoes are sprayed with a solution of urea (for 5 liters of water – a tablespoon of fertilizer).
Anyuta tomatoes are very popular with summer residents and gardeners because of their early ripening and disease resistance. This tomato is great for growing both in small summer cottages and in reputable farms.
