The bushes are tall, not spreading, the height of the shoots is up to 1.8-2.0 m. The stems should be tied to supports, the stepsons should be removed, and the bushes should be formed. Usually this tomato is formed into 1 or 2 stems. A stepson is left under the second stem, which forms under the first inflorescence. All other stepsons must be removed as they appear.

The stems are medium leafy, the foliage is of a typical tomato shape, medium in size, rich emerald color, elongated with small sharp tips.

The flowers are small in size, yellow in color, collected in racemes. Each inflorescence can form up to 5-7 ovaries. Pollination of flowers occurs naturally, therefore, in greenhouses, windows and doors should always be open during the flowering period so that there is a slight draft.

Description and characteristics of the variety

Indeterminate bushes reach 140-180 cm in height, sometimes the Evpator tomato reaches a height of 2 m. There are many ovaries, the first inflorescences begin to appear above the 9th leaf. Then they are formed every 3 leaves. 6-8 ovaries develop in one hand. When the plant throws out 7-8 clusters, its growth slows down and fruit development begins.

Hybrid Evpator is mid-early, 100-110 days pass from seed germination to ripeness of the first fruits.

Tomatoes are compact in size, round, with slight ribbing, weighing 130-170 grams. The skin is smooth and shiny. Inside there are 4-6 chambers with seeds and about 4-6% dry matter. The taste of the pulp is sweet and sour, very juicy. The fruits are used for whole-fruit canning, processing into juice, making pastes and sauces, as well as for fresh consumption. According to tasters, their taste is 4.5 out of 5.

History of selection

Tomato Evpator F1 “Gavrish” was included in the State Register in 2002. The hybrid is created for greenhouse cultivation.

Diseases and pests

This hybrid variety is resistant to many diseases:

• cladosporiosis;
• fusarium;
• viral mosaic;
• top rot.

When growing this hybrid in greenhouse conditions, it is necessary to monitor soil and air humidity, otherwise tomato bushes may be affected by fungal diseases, as well as Phoma or dry spotting.

The main pests that the Evpator tomato is afraid of are whitefly and cutworm.

Pest and disease control

As a preventative measure, it is worth spraying the bushes with copper preparations (three times a summer before fruit formation). If there are signs of phomosis, then you need to remove damaged tomatoes in a timely manner and treat the bushes with a preparation like “Hom”. The drugs Antrakol and Tattu help against dry spotting. For whiteflies they are treated with “Confidor”, and for cutworms – with “Strela”.

Important! these chemicals can be used as a last resort. In practice, it is enough to simply remove damaged leaves and tomatoes.

Advantages and disadvantages

The main advantages of the Evpator variety include:

1. high productivity;
2. fruits are approximately the same size and shape;
3. fruit ripening is uniform and almost simultaneous;
4. high resistance to most diseases;
5. the variety can be grown for further sale of fruits, since the safety of the harvest is approximately 85%;
6. since this hybrid is a greenhouse hybrid, it can be grown even in the northern regions - in heated greenhouses.

The negative qualities of the Evpator hybrid are:

1. bushes should be constantly pinched and tied up;
2. To obtain high yields, tomatoes should be grown in greenhouses; in open ground, the fruiting of the Evpator hybrid is too low.

Planting under film: in a greenhouse or greenhouse

Before planting in the greenhouse, seedlings must be hardened off. To do this, it is periodically taken to a permanent place of growth. It is necessary to carry out crop rotation. Tomatoes cannot be planted in the same place every year.

Tomatoes should not be planted in areas where other nightshades grew last season. For example, peppers, potatoes. This can lead to infection of the seedlings.

Transplantation into a greenhouse is carried out when the danger of frost has passed. For central Russia - early June.

The seedlings are transplanted into the greenhouse in early June.

The best time to carry out planting work is mid or late May. When exactly, everyone decides individually. It all depends on climatic conditions and weather, as well as on the characteristics of the greenhouse. Compost or humus, as well as complex mineral fertilizer, are added to the holes. The optimal distance between tomatoes is at least 50 cm. Since they cannot tolerate thickening. The best planting option is when 3 plants grow per 1 m2.

When fertilizing tomatoes, you should not get carried away with nitrogenous salts. They can lead to unlimited vegetation. Plants stretch as much as possible, spending all their strength on the growth of leaves and stems.

Tomato Evpator F1: stages of planting, growing seedlings and transplanting into open ground, greenhouse

This variety should be grown by seedlings, and the seed material should be planted approximately 1.5 months before the intended transplantation into greenhouse conditions.

In the Moscow region and regions with similar climatic conditions, seeds should be sown in the second ten days of March, and in the southern regions - in the second ten days of February.

Sowing seed material

Soil for sowing Evpator tomato seeds can be purchased in specialized stores, purchasing special soil for growing vegetable seedlings. But you can prepare it at home by mixing garden soil, humus and peat in equal proportions, and you can also add wood ash and mineral additives to it.

Photo of planting tomato seeds

On a note!

But before laying out the soil prepared at home, it should be disinfected - keep it in a heated oven or spill it with a weak solution of potassium permanganate.

Containers for growing Evpator tomato seedlings should be shallow, but long and wide. They should also be disinfected before using for growing tomatoes.

Seeds are buried 10 mm into the soil, the distance between them should be about 2 cm, and between adjacent rows - 3 cm.

After planting and spraying the soil with a spray bottle, the containers are covered with polyethylene and placed in a warm room until germination.

How to grow tomatoes

Hybrid Evpator is grown using standard technology in closed ground. The soil is dug up in the fall, and the greenhouses are washed with a disinfecting solution. In the spring, loosening and fertilizing with humus is carried out. Tall bushes require pinching, staking and standard care.

The second method of cultivating a hybrid is small-volume cultivation, or hydroponics, in which plants receive all the necessary substances not from the soil, but from a nutrient solution.

Landing

The seedlings are transferred to the soil at the end of May, when the soil temperature warms up to +15 °C . By this time, the seedlings will have grown to 15-25 cm in height. It is important to have time to plant the bushes before the flower cluster appears. Such seedlings quickly adapt to a new location and grow green mass more actively.

In the fall, greenhouses are washed and disinfected with sulfur bombs. The soil is dug up and 10 liters of humus are added per 1 m². In spring, the soil is loosened and fed with humus - 10 liters per 1 m².

Planting pattern – 40x60 cm, 3 bushes per 1 m².

On the site, pits are formed in 2 rows, 20 cm deep. Each is filled with boiling water and a handful of wood ash is added. Tomato bushes in peat containers are transferred into holes directly into them, and transferred from plastic glasses with a lump of earth.

Care

Immediately after planting, the seedlings are tied to a trellis or long wooden stakes. Bushes are grown in 1-2 stems, removing all young shoots. The procedures are carried out in the evening so that the wounds heal faster.

The soil is covered with mulch (agrofibre, peat, sawdust, straw, hay, pine needles). The coating retains moisture, reducing the frequency of watering and loosening, and prevents the growth of weeds and the spread of fungi and bacteria.

Tomatoes prefer abundant but infrequent watering (1-2 times a week), strictly under the bush, with warm rain or settled water.

Timely fertilizing with nitrogen and potassium-phosphorus fertilizers increases productivity.

Nitrogen fertilizing options:

1. 1 liter of mullein infusion, 1 liter of wood ash per 10 liters of water. Use for watering.
2. 20 g of chicken manure per 1 liter of water, bring the volume of infusion to 10 liters. Use for watering.
3. Fill a 10 liter bucket 2/3 full with chopped nettles and tops and fill it to the top with water, leave for 2 weeks. For watering, dilute the concentrate with water 1:10, for treating bushes - 1:20.
4. 500 g of wood ash per 10 liters of water. Leave for 3 days, strain and pour over the tomatoes.

Reference. Nitrogen fertilizers are applied 2 weeks after planting, once, then switch to potassium-phosphorus fertilizers - once every 2 weeks.

Mineral supplements:

1. For 10 liters of water – 40 g of potassium sulfate. Use for foliar treatment.
2. For 1 liter of hot water – 20 g of superphosphate. Leave for 24 hours and increase the volume to 10 liters.
3. For 10 liters of water – 10 g of diammophoska. The composition includes: potassium 26%, phosphorus 26%, nitrogen 10%. Use the solution to water 1 m² of soil.
4. For 10 liters of water 1 tbsp. l. nitroammofoski. The composition contains 16% potassium, phosphorus and nitrogen. Watering consumption per plant – 500 ml.

Among the ready-made mineral fertilizers, the following are popular: “Kemira Lux”, “Calcium nitrate”, “Bio Master”, “Solution”.

Features of cultivation

The hybrid is suitable for cultivation using the hydroponics method, in which tomatoes do not need soil; all the necessary plant substances are obtained from a nutrient solution.

Reference. Hydroponics is not a new technology. The method would have been known back in the times of the Aztecs. The Indians built rafts on the water from long stalks of reeds, and instead of soil they used silt from the bottom of reservoirs. In this environment they were able to grow vegetables and even fruit trees.

Advantages of the method:

• significant increase in yield;
• plants do not accumulate harmful substances from the soil;
• there is no need for frequent watering;
• tomatoes are not infected with bacteria and fungi;
• the ability to obtain environmentally friendly products without the use of chemicals.

A significant drawback of the method is the high cost of labor and money for the purchase and installation of equipment. Small-scale cultivation is carried out mainly by large farms.

Stages of small-volume growing of tomatoes:

1. The substrate is used only for growing seedlings at the initial stage.
2. At the stage of 2-3 leaves, seedlings are planted in a cork or mineral wool cube, then placed in a mesh pot, the bottom of which is filled with expanded clay.
3. The cube is placed in the pot so that it does not go beyond its limits.
4. The remaining space is filled with expanded clay to securely fix the cube in the center.
5. The container with the seedlings is placed in a hydroponic system, which is a larger vessel.
6. The system is filled with filtered or spring water with pH=5.5-6.2. Water should cover 2/3 of the mesh container.
7. At the initial stage, the bushes get enough nutrients from the water, then mineral solutions containing nitrogen, potassium, phosphorus, calcium, and magnesium are added to the water.
8. Plants are tied to vertical supports.
9. In the greenhouse, there is constant control over the humidity level (60-70%) and air temperature (18-24 °C during the day, 15-18 °C at night).
10. During the flowering period, hornets and bumblebees are released into the greenhouse to pollinate tomatoes.
11. The roots of the plants are periodically washed with water - the mesh pots are removed from the system and watered by hand. This is a necessary procedure to prevent the accumulation of harmful salts in the root system.

Diseases and pests

The hybrid is genetically protected from tobacco mosaic virus, fusarium, cladosporiosis, root-knot nematode, fruit cracking, blossom end rot, and late blight.

Significant yield losses are possible with fomosis (brown rot) and dry spotting.

Fomoz is a fungal disease characterized by a transient process. The pathogen penetrates through damage to plants. Infection is favored by high humidity in the greenhouse and drafts.

Signs of Phomasis:

• a small spot appears at the base of the fruit;
• rot quickly spreads to the stems and surface of the tomatoes.

Fighting the disease is difficult and sometimes impossible. At the first symptoms, the affected plants are removed by the roots and burned. For prevention, spraying with the preparation “HOM” is used, reducing the concentration of nitrogen and the frequency of watering.

Dry spot, or Alternaria blight, is a fungal disease that appears as dry brown spots on round leaves and stems. Infection is favored by hot weather (+25…+30 °C) and night dew. Without treatment, plants die.

To combat dry spotting, special preparations are used: Antrakol, Tattu, Radomil Gold, Infinity, Flint, Quadris. For prevention, the bushes are treated with Trichodermin and Fitosporin, crop rotation is observed, and plant remains are removed from the area.

In addition to being susceptible to fungal diseases, tomatoes are harmed by insects: whiteflies, cutworms, aphids, and Colorado potato beetles. Insecticides will come to the rescue: “Strela”, “Confidor”, “Flumite”, “Borneo”, “Iskra”.

Attention! Preventive measures are no less effective and allow you to get environmentally friendly tomatoes: weeding, loosening, covering the soil with agrofibre, hay, peat, pine needles.

Further care of seedlings

After the shoots emerge, the film is removed and the boxes are moved to a bright place. For a week and a half, the room temperature is reduced by 6-8 degrees Celsius to harden the sprouts. Then the temperature is raised again to 22-24 degrees.

Seedlings should be watered regularly when the top layer of soil dries out. The main thing is to prevent moisture from stagnating in the containers. While growing seedlings, they should be fed at least once with fertilizer containing potassium salt. This feeding strengthens the roots of the seedlings and will allow the plants to acclimatize better and faster in a new place.

After several permanent leaves have appeared on young tomatoes, the seedlings are planted in separate containers so that the grown tomatoes have more room to grow.

A couple of weeks before planting seedlings in greenhouses, they should be hardened off by taking them into the greenhouse for a short time and gradually increasing the time the plants stay in conditions close to those for further cultivation.

Features of cultivation

Scientists have created a hybrid of tomatoes for growing in regions with any climate. Tomatoes grow well in the south, the Urals and even in Siberia. Many vegetable growers do an excellent job of growing Evpator tomatoes. To do this, you just need to follow some agrotechnical measures.

It is better to buy the seeds of these tomatoes at specialized sales points.

To grow seedlings, you need to plant the seeds 45 days before they need to be transferred to the greenhouse. For example, for midland regions, sowing begins in March.

It is recommended to keep the seeds in a 1% manganese solution before sowing, and then rinse them with clean water.

The seed should be sown in light soil with a nutrient medium. It must first be kept warm for 7-14 days. Before planting seeds, it is recommended to treat the soil with a 0.5% solution of potassium permanganate.

To sow seeds, the following actions are necessary:

• dig a groove no more than 1 cm deep;
• plant the seeds at a distance of 2-3 cm from each other, and then sprinkle with soil;
• the distance between the strips should be about 3-4 cm;
• Leave the container covered with plastic wrap in a warm place.

Then the box with the seedlings is transferred to a place with bright lighting and the film is removed. In this case, the room temperature should be about 16 - 18°C.

Seedlings require 10 hours of daylight. If there is a lack of daylight, it needs to be provided with additional lighting. When the first 1-2 strong leaves appear on the stem, pick the seedlings into separate cups.

Before planting seedlings in a permanent place, they should be hardened off. To do this, the container with young plants must be taken out to the greenhouse in which they will be planted.

It is important to adhere to the rules of crop rotation: change the location of planting tomatoes every year. Seedlings begin to be planted in the greenhouse after the weather becomes consistently warm and the risk of night frosts has passed.

Typically, gardeners choose the end of May. By this time, the seedlings reach about 45 days of development and grow 15 cm in height. Such plants are strong and take root well in new conditions, quickly becoming overgrown with green mass.

By this time, the seedlings reach about 45 days of development and grow 15 cm in height. Such plants are strong and take root well in new conditions, quickly growing green.

In order for Evpator F1 tomatoes to adapt to a new location less painfully, before transplanting they are thoroughly watered and sprayed with Epin. Add 1 ml of the drug to 5 liters of water.

Seedlings cannot be planted in areas that were sown with other nightshade species last season: peppers, potatoes, etc. The fact is that harmful bacteria may remain in the soil at this place and infect the seedlings.

Seedlings that already have several leaves are transplanted to a plot in a greenhouse. Due to the fact that Evpator bushes grow strongly, seedlings are planted in a row with a distance of 25 cm between them. A distance of 60 cm is maintained between holes.

After the root of the seedling has been placed in the hole, it must be covered with soil. On an area of ​​1 sq. m. 3-4 plants should be planted. Also, you should install pegs in advance to which the tomato bushes will be tied.

Transplanting seedlings into a greenhouse

When transplanting seedlings, you need to take into account that the bushes grow large, so no more than three tomato bushes of a given variety should be planted on one square of area. If the Evpator tomato is formed into 1 stem, then 4 bushes can be planted per 1 m2.

Photo of planting seedlings in a greenhouse

The distance between seedlings in a row should be at least 0.4 m, and the row spacing should be 0.6 m. A layer of complex fertilizers that do not contain nitrogen is poured into the prepared holes at the bottom and 5 liters of water are poured.

Each plant is placed in a hole and covered with soil. The height of the seedlings should be at least 15 cm, and the age should be about 1.5 months.

Description of the bush

The bush is powerful, tall, with dark green dissected leaves of medium size, up to one and a half meters high. “Evpator F1” is a hybrid with unlimited growth (indeterminate), therefore it needs a garter so that the fruits do not lie on the ground. After the first eight leaves, every three leaves, this tomato begins to throw out clusters of inflorescences, on which up to eight fruits are formed.

Evpator is a highly branched tomato. To ensure that the fruits are in the sun and not in the shade of the leaves, the bush needs to be shaped. This variety is characterized by the formation of a large number of stepsons. They need to be removed regularly.

The tomato is formed into one stem. This means that you need to leave 1 stem. Everyone else is removed. The top of the plant can be removed. After these procedures, it will not branch or stretch much.

The bush is powerful, tall, with dark green dissected leaves of medium size, up to one and a half meters high.

Further care for Evpator tomatoes

Although this hybrid is quite unpretentious and does not require special care, certain rules must still be followed when growing the Evpator tomato.

Stepsoning

A large number of stepsons are constantly formed on the bushes of this variety, which must be constantly removed so that they do not take away a large amount of nutrients necessary for the formation of ovaries and ripening of fruits.

Photo of pinching tomatoes

It is also necessary to form Evpator tomato bushes for better yield. Usually one or two stems are left on such tomatoes, and after the formation of 6 inflorescences on the central stem, the tops are pinched.

Irrigation regime

It is best to install a drip mode in greenhouses, in which case the soil in the greenhouse will not dry out, but there will be no excess moisture in the soil. With normal watering, you need to add water to the beds once every 3-4 days.

Weeding and loosening

After watering, it is necessary to loosen the root zone of the tomato bushes, simultaneously removing all weeds, and then add a layer of mulch.

Tomato bushes also need to be tied to a strong support, since their shoots are tall and produce a large number of fruits at the same time. To prevent the stems from breaking off, gartering of the shoots is necessary.

Feeding tomatoes Evpator

In order for the yield of these tall plants to be high, it is necessary to constantly fertilize. For the first time, fertilizers are applied to the soil 1.5 weeks after transplanting the Evpator tomato seedlings into the greenhouse. Mineral fertilizers with low nitrogen content are used as fertilizing. You can dilute nitrogen nitrate in the following proportion:
for 10 liters of water you need to take 25 g of the drug, and 0.7 liters of working solution are added to each plant.

After 1.5 weeks, the plants can be fed with bird droppings diluted with water in a ratio of 1:20.

You also need to fertilize during the period of flowering and ovary formation. The amount of fertilizer is doubled.

In the last ten days of August, the resulting flowers are torn off - the tomatoes will no longer ripen on them.

Similar hybrids

Tomato Evpator is similar to hybrids in terms of characteristics and description of the variety:

• high-yielding;
• with red round or slightly flattened fruits;
• indeterminate;
• grown in extended rotation;
• intended for small-volume crops;
• possessing complex disease resistance.

For light zone III we recommend:

1. Alhambra F The fruits are flat-round, with barely visible ribs, weighing 140-170 g. They begin to ripen after full germination on 104-115 days. Bush with short internodes. When grown in normal rotation it yields 6-6.5 kg per plant.
2. Bel Canto F Ripening - 103-109 days after germination, tomatoes are flat-round, red, with a smooth surface, 3-4 chambers, weighing 125-135 g. In normal circulation it yields up to 5 kg per bush.
3. Brooklyn F Dutch hybrid with red round tomatoes, slightly flattened at the poles, weighing 105-120 g. Ripens 113-118 days after germination. When grown in a regular greenhouse it yields up to 6 kg per plant.
4. Sharp F The fruits are round, weighing 155-165 g, red, slightly ribbed. They ripen at 96-101 days. In normal circulation they yield about 3 kg per bush.
5. Fortune F Red, round, slightly compressed tomatoes at the poles with unpronounced ribs weighing 120-130 g ripen on 106-111 days.

Tomato Evpator is one of the best domestic hybrids for commercial production. It is successfully grown and produces an excellent harvest in amateur greenhouses. Beautiful, smooth fruits are suitable for fresh consumption and all types of preparations; they are in stable demand.

Reviews from those who planted tomatoes Evpator

Ivan, 54 years old, Krasnogorsk: One of the best varieties of tomatoes that my wife and I grew in our greenhouse is the Evpator variety. We grew this variety in two stems, removed all the shoots, watered and fed them on time, as a result, about 5 kg of ripe fruits were collected from each bush. The harvest was enough for both food and canning. Next year we will plant more bushes of this variety so that we can sell part of the harvest at the market.

Anna, 40 years old, Novosibirsk region: On my site, the greenhouse is small, so I have to plant only high-yielding varieties of vegetables in it, which produce a large number of fruits in a small area. In this regard, one of the best tomato varieties is the Evpator hybrid. I form it into 2 stems and from 6 bushes I collect at least 6 buckets of ripe fruits. The tomatoes are all even, smooth and beautiful, not prone to cracking even during heat treatment.

Luda, 44 years old, Tomsk region: In her greenhouse she grew different varieties of tomatoes, but many of them were affected by cladosporiosis. In the process of fighting this disease, the yield of the bushes fell sharply. This year I decided to plant hybrids that are resistant to this disease. And Evpator is one of these tomatoes that I will now grow constantly.

Tomato Evpator is one of the best high-yielding varieties intended for cultivation in heated and unheated greenhouses.

With proper care, even 6-8 bushes of this variety will provide a family with the necessary amount of fruit for food and preservation. Also, many vegetable growers can grow this variety in order to sell the collected fruits in the future.

Application

Tomatoes of the Evpator f1 variety have a sweet and sour taste. They are small in size and the flesh inside is dense. Many vegetable growers prefer this tomato variety for sale, as it retains its appearance well and is not afraid of long distances during transportation. In addition, tomatoes are well adapted to mass cultivation.

Tender and tasty tomatoes are consumed fresh: salads, snacks. Also used for canning, pickling and pickling. The variety is suitable for preparing tomato juices and pastes.

Instructions for planting tomatoes

Despite the fact that the description of the variety states that the variety is absolutely not susceptible to various kinds of diseases, it is better to take preventive measures to protect the bushes:

• do not create high humidity in the greenhouse;
• pick off the lower leaves;
• spray the tomato bushes with a preparation containing copper.

It is important to monitor the bushes in order to notice the disease in time and eradicate it.

At the beginning of the 21st century, this name was given to one of the new varieties of buried tomatoes, which, despite the average taste, is perfect for beginning summer residents due to a guaranteed good harvest and excellent survival rate, as well as for farmers growing tomatoes on an industrial scale, due to the long period fruiting, the possibility of winter cultivation of resistance to many diseases.

In order for the bushes to regularly bear large fruits, it is necessary to follow several planting rules. The seed material must be pre-processed, then favorable conditions for the development of seedlings must be created and transplantation into open soil must be carried out in a timely manner.

When to plant?

Sowing of seedlings is carried out from the second half to the end of March. Advance sowing is carried out so that the seeds have time to sprout by the time they are transferred to the greenhouse.

After purchasing seeds, it is recommended to visually inspect them in order to sort out damaged specimens. Selected seeds are treated in a solution of potassium permanganate, using 1 g of the substance per glass of liquid. It is enough to place them in a cloth bag and hold them in the solution for 15-20 minutes, then rinse with water. The material is processed to disinfect, prevent the development of diseases and saturate it with nutritional components.

Planting seeds

You need to pour fertile soil into the seedling container and place tomato seeds on the surface. The seeds are sprinkled on top with a layer of earth about 1 cm thick. For seedlings to emerge, the ambient temperature must be 25-30 degrees, so it is recommended to keep containers with seedlings near a heat source. Seedlings can be covered with plastic film or glass to create a greenhouse effect.

Growing seedlings

During the process of growing seedlings, it is necessary to regularly check the condition of the soil. If the soil dries out, you should spray it generously with a spray bottle. In case of excessive humidity, it is enough to remove the film and wait for it to dry naturally. If mold has formed on the soil with seedlings, you need to carefully remove the infected layer and treat it with an antifungal agent.

40-45 days after sowing, seedlings are transferred to open ground. To do this, dig shallow holes in the prepared area and place one sprout in each.

Growing rules

To obtain a large and high-quality harvest, you must follow the rules for growing and subsequently caring for vegetables.

Planting seedlings

Tomatoes are sown 45 days before planting in the ground, so the timing depends on the region. In the middle zone - in mid-March, in the south - in mid-February.

• treat the soil against infection in any way: harden, steam, sprinkle with potassium permanganate (1 tsp per 1 liter of water);
• the soil should be light;
• plant seeds to a depth of 1 cm with a distance of 2-3 cm;
• the space between the grooves is 3 cm;
• The box should be covered with film and placed in a warm place.

After the second leaf appears, you need to pick it up (transplant it into separate boxes, thereby giving more space). From the moment the shoots emerge until transplanting, you need 1 fertilizing with potassium fertilizer - this will strengthen the roots and allow the tomatoes to take root easily. Before planting, seedlings need to be hardened: periodically taken to a greenhouse or greenhouse.

Tomato transplant

The transplant itself in central Russia occurs at the beginning of June, when there is no longer a threat of frost - for open ground and in May - for greenhouses. The variety is large, so it should be planted at the rate of 2-3 bushes per 1 square meter. m (when formed into 1 stem, you can plant 4 bushes).

• distance between rows - 60 cm;
• distance between bushes - 40 cm;
• you need to pour water into the holes and add complex fertilizer (not nitrogenous);
• The seedlings are placed with their roots in the hole and covered with soil.

The height of the tomatoes should be at least 15 cm, and the age should be at least 45 days. Such seedlings are not yet blooming, but they are already strong and will quickly take root in the ground.

Subsequent care for tomatoes

The Evpator variety has its own characteristics in care:

Stepsons. The bush branches heavily and forms many stepsons, so they need to be removed regularly so that the tomatoes “see” the sun and ripen. For maximum fruiting, you need to leave 1 stem, and when 5-6 clusters form, remove the top of the plant.

Nitrogenous types of fertilizers are not recommended for this variety, because they provoke already intensive growth.

Flowers that appear at the end of August will no longer produce a harvest. Therefore, they should be cut off so that the bush does not grow barren flowers and tops, but “throws energy” into ripening already grown tomatoes.

Growing rules

Sowing of the Evpator tomato is carried out in separate cassettes and a common planting box. The substrate for seedlings is prepared from several components. It should be loose, breathable, without large inclusions.

Components for soil mixture:

• peat;
• humus;
• for loosening: river sand, vermiculite;
• to create neutral acidity: wood ash;
• fertilizer complex.

Coconut substrate is well suited for growing tomatoes; it retains moisture and does not support the development of pathogenic microflora.

Before planting, the soil is thoroughly mixed, moistened and lightly pressed down. Seeds are placed in holes according to the 2-piece pattern. by 3 cm. Cover the top with dry soil of the same composition, press lightly again, and cover with film. Place it in the warmest possible place, but not on heating devices.

When the first shoots that have not yet straightened appear, the planting boxes are placed under phytolamps. In the first week after germination, the air temperature is reduced to + 18°C. This temporarily stops the growth of the aboveground part in favor of the development of the root system.

After the plants develop two true leaves, not counting the cotyledons, they are picked and transplanted into separate, larger containers. When transferring seedlings, they try to injure the root system as little as possible.

Water the seedlings infrequently, only when the top layer of soil is completely dry. When watering, moisten the entire volume of the earthen coma.

A week before planting, the plants are hardened off

The soil for tomatoes in the greenhouse is changed every year, and green manure is planted to disinfect and improve the quality of the soil. When growing, soil after legumes and cabbage is well suited. It is important to monitor the acidity of the soil, keeping it neutral. To do this, lime is added in the previous season.

The Evpator tomato is planted according to a 40 by 60 cm pattern. Supports are built in advance to which the plants will be tied. During a long growing season, the stems are sent horizontally across the top of the greenhouse.

During the growing period of the Evpator tomato, at least four feedings are carried out:

• the first is nitrogen-phosphorus 12-14 days after transplantation into the greenhouse, when the plants take root and begin to grow;
• the second – nitrogen-phosphorus 14 days after the first;
• the third - phosphorus-potassium during the period of the beginning of intensive flowering and fruit growth;
• the fourth is phosphorus-potassium during fruiting.

For the successful development of plants, boron and magnesium are also necessary, which are applied foliarly - by spraying on the leaves during the period of flowering and formation of ovaries.

When growing tomatoes, the soil is periodically loosened to prevent crust formation. Or they use the mulching method, when the soil is covered with organic or synthetic materials. At the same time, the soil remains moist longer and the growth of weeds is reduced.

Agricultural technology

Tomato Raspberry Empire: characteristics and description of the variety

In order to grow a Evpator tomato and get a good harvest, it is enough to know some points. In general, agricultural technology is quite simple. A novice gardener who doesn’t visit the dacha very often can handle it.

Landing

The variety is grown through seedlings. It is planted at the end of March in order to be placed in a greenhouse in May and June. Hybrid seeds do not need to be pre-prepared or soaked. They are planted in soil mixture. The ground temperature should be room temperature. The soil can be poured with boiling water, fried in the oven, or sprinkled with a manganese solution.

The seeds deepen by 1-1.5 cm. The distance between neighboring seeds is 2-4 cm. The soil should be moist so that after sowing it is no longer watered. Otherwise, the seeds may end up on the soil surface. Next, the container is covered with a bag, you can use cling film. It is needed in order to create a greenhouse effect. In such an environment, the seeds will hatch faster.

As soon as the first shoots appear, the bag is removed. For 50 days, seedlings must be provided with heat (+24 degrees is enough) and sunlight. Additionally, you can display it under lamps.

Planting a tomato

As soon as the first strong leaf appears, the bushes dive. Frail plants are removed. In separate cups where tomatoes are transplanted, there should be exactly the same soil mixture as in the general container. The temperature must be maintained. Watering the seedlings is carried out as needed. Do not overwater the bushes or allow the mixture to dry out.

2 weeks before planting, the bushes begin to harden. The process is gradual. First, the glasses with greens are taken outside for literally a minute, then for 3.

Additional Information. Experienced summer residents call potatoes, peppers, and tomatoes bad predecessors of crops. It is best to observe crop rotation. Good predecessors are beans, onions, pumpkin.

Plants that have grown to 27-33 cm are planted in protected soil. The soil is prepared in advance. It is dug up and fertilized with organic matter. The variety takes root well on drained, loose, fertile soils. If the soil has been fertilized, then when planting in holes, the hybrid does not require additional fertilizers. The only thing you can put there is one glass of ash. The distance between the bushes is 25-35 cm. At least 0.6 m should be left between the rows.

Care

When caring for Evpator tomatoes, you should pay attention to the following measures:

• Garter, bush formation;
• Watering;
• Loosening;
• Weed removal;
• Mulching;
• Feeding;
• Ventilation of the greenhouse;
• Prevention of diseases and pests.

Garter, bush formation

Eupator f1 is an indeterminate plant. Can stretch up to 1.9 m. Requires a garter. A strong stake is installed nearby; you can use a trellis. It is recommended to tie both the stem itself and the branches from which the fruit clusters hang to the support.

Garter, bush formation

Form a hybrid into one stem. This way you can get maximum yield. Step-sonning is necessary. Excess side branches are disposed of so that they do not draw food onto themselves. Thus, all nutritional elements will be used for the formation and filling of fruits. At the end of August the top should be removed. Thanks to this, the plant will devote all its energy to the fruits, and not to the growth of branches.

Watering

The hybrid loves water. You need to water once a week. 3-6 liters are consumed per bush. The water should not be cold. It is best to take settled warm water from a barrel that has warmed up during the day. Water only in the evening and at the roots. It is not recommended to pour water on the leaves.

Loosening, weeding, mulching

After watering, light weeding and loosening can be done. The root circle should be mulched with straw, hay, and grass.

Feeding

Feeding the hybrid is simple. The procedure is carried out twice during the season. The first time you take complex fertilizer, which you can buy in the store. There are special mixtures, the name of which indicates “For tomatoes”. The substance is diluted as indicated in the instructions. The first feeding is organized 15-20 days after the bushes are transferred to the greenhouse.

Complex fertilizer “For tomatoes”

The crop should be fertilized a second time 10-14 days after the first procedure. Chicken manure is best. Take 1 kg of litter and dilute it in 15 liters of warm water. 1-3 liters of nutrient solution is enough per bush.

Ventilation of the greenhouse

On nice sunny days it is recommended to keep the doors to the greenhouse open. This way there will be no stagnation of air in it, and the plants will not catch fungal diseases.

Prevention of diseases and pests

This hybrid has strong immunity against diseases. He almost never gets sick with fusarium, cladosporiosis, root-knot nematode, or tobacco mosaic. According to reviews, even if other plants in the greenhouse are sick, the Evpator tomato will withstand with dignity. As a preventative measure, you can spray the bushes several times with solutions containing copper. But this can be done before flowering.
