Characteristics of the Kiev woman

According to the description, "Kievlyanka" does not tolerate temperature changes well, so the culture is not suitable for growing in open space in an area where there are sudden temperature changes or heavy rains. Taking into account these features, the beginning of cultivation falls in mid-April - the first ten days of May. This is a medium late greenhouse variety.Sowing seeds for seedlings is performed 2-2.5 months before the intended planting in the ground. It is best for the fruits to ripen on the bush, as they can grow in size. This variety does not tolerate long-distance transportation very well. In vegetable stores with normal (standard) conditions, it can be stored for 1 - 2 months, not more, because over time, the tomato begins to deteriorate and rot.

Features of cultivation and subsequent care of the plant

When growing seedlings, strictly adhere to the rules.

These tomatoes have some cultivation characteristics, but the entire production process is within the power of even inexperienced vegetable growers. The main condition for success is strict adherence to the rules, then, in the end, a person will receive a high yield. The whole process consists of several stages.

The first stage is preparation

Before sowing seeds, you need to thoroughly prepare the soil. Professional vegetable growers, for these purposes, recommend using a mixture consisting of the most ordinary garden soil, but it is supplemented with special fertilizers (ammonia, phosphate additives or wood ash) and animal humus.

Some gardeners add tobacco or tobacco dust to the soil, which is rich in phosphorus, potassium and nitrogen. The preparatory stage also applies to seeds, before they are planted, they must be soaked in a specialized solution (potassium permanganate is diluted with water).

Stage - growing seedlings

After all the preparations have been made, the seeds are planted in the ground. Some manufacturers pre-abundantly fill the ground with water, but as practice shows, it is better when the planting is carried out in moist soil, and after a while you can irrigate the sprouts a little. The depth of planting seeds is 1.5 - 2 cm. If the container with soil for seedlings is in the greenhouse, and not as an option in the house, then to improve conditions, the soil is covered with a film.

As soon as the first sprouts begin to appear, the tomatoes must be rearranged in a place where there is good consecration. These bushes need a sufficient amount of heat and light, at the first stages fluorescent lamps are suitable for this, but it is quite enough if the container is rearranged closer to sunlight.

Picking and related procedures

When full-fledged small leaves appear on the tomato, a pick should be carried out (seating in separate containers, these can be cups). All of them are collected in a large box, placing them next to each other, then it will be possible to observe and compare the development of seedlings.

To characterize the harvest, the word resa is suitable, that is, the vegetable grower receives a great many fruits.

Therefore, in order to even out the ratio of the number of tomatoes and green mass on the bush, pinching is performed. This helps to regulate the load on the branches, as it removes unnecessary shoots in the leaf axils. The procedure is carried out during a pick, when the seedlings are less than 10 centimeters. If you carry out pinching later, then there is a very real possibility of injury to the plant, after which the yield indicator decreases.

Transplanting

Everyone who has previously been breeding this variety knows that the bush is large, therefore the minimum allowable distance between the bushes is 50 cm. It is desirable that the row spacing is approximately the same distance.

If the climatic conditions of the region of residence are cold, then it is better to plant "Kievlyanka" in a greenhouse. Due to the fact that the plant reaches 2 m, they must be tied up. The bushes form 2 to 3 stems.

Advantages and disadvantages of the variety

Positive characteristics include the following:

1. High palatability.
2. A bountiful harvest.
3. The large sizes of the fruits (some vegetable growers call them from reram (translated from ancient languages ​​as hippopotamus), they really look like these animals).

Negative factors:

1. Low keeping rate and poor transportability.
2. This variety is not suitable for northern (cold) regions, as the fruiting rate drops due to the climate.
