Tomato Khlynovsky F1: reviews, photos

Tomato bushes are southern plants, but thanks to the achievements of breeders, varieties and hybrids have been bred that grow in regions with cold and short summers. One of the newcomers is Khlynovsky tomato hybrid. Its seeds have been on the market for almost two decades – it was registered in 1999. The very name of the hybrid speaks of its purpose: the culture is suitable for growing in areas with such weather conditions as Kirovskaya. After all, it is not in vain that under the ancient name of this northern city, scientists offer a stable tomato to amateur gardeners. On the plant of this tomato, the difference in positive temperatures to a decrease is practically not reflected.

Typical hybrid properties

This tomato is recommended for those who are just starting to learn the basics of agriculture. The plant is so unpretentious and stable that it will rise to its predetermined height and bear fruit, if only the soil is weeded and watered.

Distinctive features of the bush

The plant of mid-early tomato Khlynovsky f1, although tall, but the development of the bush is limited to a height of two meters.

• The tomato bush is determinate, rather compact, but vigorous, as it forms large berries. Usually the hybrid grows up to 1,5 – 1,8 m.
• The plant forms 10-12 inflorescences, placed through two or three leaves;
• Even in adverse weather, the bushes of these tomatoes, adapted to low temperatures, form enough ovaries. Subject to all the requirements of agricultural technology, the yield of the hybrid is 12 kg per 1 sq. m or 4-5 kg ​​from one bush;
• Compared to indeterminate tomato plants, this hybrid begins to bear fruit two weeks earlier;
• The plants of this tomato have a high resistance to Fusarium, Cladosporiosis, Verticillium and Tobacco Mosaic.

  

Features of fruiting

The first ripe fruits from the bushes of this tomato can be removed 105-110 days after emergence.

• The tomato, according to the reviews of lovers of self-grown vitamin products, gives large, juicy, melting fruits in the mouth. And this is only one of its valuable qualities, given that the plant is hybrid (natural varieties have a more pronounced, characteristic taste);
• Khlynovsky tomato shows its superiority in terms of fruit taste and yield compared to a number of well-known large-fruited tomatoes;
• The fruits tolerate transportation well, even over long distances.

Throughout the vegetative period, the tomato bush grows and develops intensively, forming flowers and ovaries, pours large fruits well. In the stage of active growth, the hybrid requires sufficient watering. It is this moment that is indicated among the shortcomings of the Khlynovsky tomato in their reviews by those gardeners who planted a plant on their site.

Description of the plant

The bushes of this tomato are standard, with an average number of branches and leaves. The trunk is powerful and strong, capable of withstanding the 4 kg of crop declared by breeders. The dark green leaves of the plant are small, slightly wrinkled, glossy. The hybrid has simple inflorescences, the first of which appears on a bush above 8-10 leaves. The next flower groups go alternately through one or two leaves. The brushes are formed evenly, as a result, and the crop from the hybrid bushes is harvested in the same volumes during fruiting.

Fruit

The tomato forms beautiful, attractive with its appetizing size, flat-round, large fruits. The surface of mature tomatoes is uniformly red, glossy. In technical ripeness, the fruits are green, on top near the stalk, the usual spot stands out with its darker tint, which disappears in the ripening phase. The pulp is dense and fleshy. The structure of the fetus is characterized by 4 or 6 seminal chambers with thick walls. The fruits of these tomatoes are distinguished by good transportability and long-term keeping quality, due to their structure and pulp density.

On Khlynovsky f1 tomato bushes, sometimes, with standard fertilizing and timely watering, fruits weighing up to 300-350 g ripen. The usual weight of its fruits is 180-220 g. They contain 5-6% of dry matter. Excellent taste properties during tasting were highly rated: 4,8 points. The marketability of the fruits of the hybrid was also highly appreciated: 98%.

Harvest use

Delicious vitamin fruits are consumed fresh. They can be used for pickles and cutting for canned salads. When fully ripe they are great for juices, sauces or spreads.

Plant Care

The most guaranteed way to grow tomatoes, including hybrids, is through seedlings.

First stage

Seeds are sown in March or April in moist soil, deepening one or one and a half centimeters. Dates need to be adjusted depending on the time of planting young plants in a permanent place. Seedlings should be 50-60 days old. And the soil in the greenhouse should warm up to 15-16⁰ C. The same temperature is comfortable for tomato plants at night. During the day it can rise to 22-25⁰ C.

• In the first days of seedling growth, the soil is kept slightly moist;
• The air temperature should be lower – up to 16⁰ C, so that the sprouts do not stretch;
• Containers with young, tender stems of tomatoes are turned in different directions to the light so that they do not grow obliquely;
• When the sprouts become strong, uniform, the temperature is increased for the successful development of young plants;
• As soon as the second true leaf appears, the plants dive, cutting off the tip of the central root and seated in separate containers.

There are reviews of the rapid growth of the Khlynovsky hybrid. According to the description, seedlings from f1 tomato seeds began to form inflorescences already at the age of 50 days. By the way, such inflorescences, no matter how sorry they are, must be removed. The plant needs to give a lot of energy to acclimatize.

Landing

First, seedlings, which have already formed at least seven or nine leaves, must be hardened during the week, taking them out into fresh air for several hours.

• In April, tomato seedlings are planted in heated greenhouses. Under film or non-woven shelters – in May, and in open ground – until June 10-15;
• Plants should be placed according to the 70×40 scheme, so that there are no more than 3 tomato bushes per square meter;
• Feeding is also carried out: at the bottom of the hole, retreating 4-5 centimeters from the intended placement of the tomato roots, put one teaspoon of double superphosphate;
• On the third week after planting in the ground, tomato bushes spud. Then, fifteen days later, re-hilling is carried out to form an additional root system;
• Periodically loosen the soil.

Watering

For the first few days, the planted plants are watered in the evening every day, under the root. In a greenhouse, watering tomatoes is best done in the morning. The best option is drip systems, then water will not fall on the stem and leaves of tomatoes. In the future, the plot with tomatoes is moderately watered every 4-5 days, guided by weather conditions. During the period of fruit ripening, watering is increased – this is one of the agrotechnical requirements for Khlynovsky tomatoes.

Feeding

Tomato Khlynovsky must be fertilized several times per season. When the first fruits reach 1,5-2 cm in diameter, they are fed with a mineral solution: for 10 liters of water they take ammonium nitrate – 20 g, potassium sulfate – 30 g, magnesium sulfate – 10 g and 25 ml of three percent potassium humate. Such top dressing should be carried out every week during the ripening of the first fruit brushes.

Shrub formation

In greenhouses, the bushes of these tomatoes are usually led into one trunk, two more stems are allowed in the open ground.

• First, for the second stem, a stepson is left, which is placed under the first inflorescence;
• Then for the third – the next after the same inflorescence;
• All other stepchildren are superfluous, they are cut one at a time, leaving a small stump on the trunk;
• It is also necessary to remove the lower leaves on all bushes – for air access;
• Tomato bushes are tied up, branches with tassels are propped up so that they do not break off under the weight of the fruit.

Caring for the plants of this hybrid is not particularly laborious, and care will return in the form of juicy, mouth-watering fruits on the table. Fresh, just plucked from their garden.
