Modern science is rapidly moving forward. Particularly successful in the race for supremacy was the branch of genetics and selection. Every year, scientists breed thousands of new varieties of vegetables and fruits, which, in terms of their characteristics, are significantly superior to the originals, which makes them very popular among gardeners. The need to develop new varieties is associated primarily with constantly changing environmental conditions. Frequent, and, as a rule, unpredictable weather, forces us to find new ways to protect and fight for the crop, to comprehend new knowledge and invent new hybrids. A striking representative of the new generation of tomato is the Lyana variety.
Description
Tomato “Lyana” is a representative of a determinant, early ripening, high-yielding variety. Bushes are small, reach 50 cm in height. Due to its small size, the plant does not need a garter, which greatly facilitates its cultivation.
Tomatoes “Lyana” are intended for cultivation both in open ground and in greenhouse conditions. With the first and second growing method, the result will be excellent.
The fruits of this variety are small, rounded, have a bright red or pink color in the phase of biological maturity. The color of the tomato depends on the variety of the variety. The mass of one vegetable reaches 60-80 grams.
The pulp of the tomato is juicy, dense, enclosed in a skin of medium hardness.
In cooking, the fruits of the Lyana tomato variety are used for making salads, ketchups, as well as for pickling and preparing blanks for the winter.
Advantages and disadvantages of the variety
Among the positive qualities of the tomato “Lyana” can be identified:
- unpretentiousness when growing;
- excellent taste characteristics;
- high productivity;
- early appearance of fruits and a long period of fruiting – up to the first frost;
- good resistance to most typical tomato diseases.
Some features of the variety, in order to obtain the maximum yield, should still be taken into account by each gardener when growing. Do not forget that:
- a tomato of this species is thermophilic, therefore, the conditions of a harsh climate are completely unsuitable for it;
- the bush requires constant and regular pinching. Only under this condition can you get a rich harvest of tomatoes.
Judging by the reviews of most gardeners, the Lyana tomato is not only a high-yielding, but also a rather long-term variety. During long-term storage, ripe fruits do not lose their presentation and perfectly tolerate transportation even over long distances.
Abundant leaf cover requires regular removal of not only foliage, but also side shoots. All these inconveniences for the vegetable grower are fully compensated by a rich harvest.
Features of agricultural technology
Due to the fact that the plant is thermophilic, it should be grown in seedlings under certain climatic conditions. First, tomato seeds are planted in the ground for seedlings. After 2-2,5 months, grown and strengthened bushes are planted in a greenhouse or in open ground.
Further care of the plant includes regular loosening of the soil, watering and timely pinching as the bush grows and the fruits ripen.
