Tomato Dolka Far Eastern is a rare variety that was first bred by Siberian breeders for cultivation in open soil and greenhouses. Not depending on the season, tomatoes give a stable solid crop.

Tomatoes differ from other varieties not only in the correct form of the fruit, but also have an old taste, which was lost in many hybrids and new tomatoes.

Grade description

Tomatoes belong to a tall, early ripe, semi-determinant variety of tomatoes. The height of an adult bush varies from 1.5 to 1.7 meters; plants with a height of 2 meters are quite rare. Bushes grow more tall, rather than wide. The foliage is dense, not large in size and painted in dark green. For a good harvest, experienced gardeners recommend planting tomatoes in 2-3 stems.

Fruit characterization

Berries of tomatoes Far Eastern lobule have a circular oval shape. At the time of ripening, the fruits turn a crimson red color. The peel is dense, elastic and does not crack when the berries ripen. The fruit tastes sweet with a slight acidity. The pulp is juicy, aromatic and slightly granular in consistency. In the middle of the tomato are two chambers with a small amount of seeds. The weight of the fruit ranges from 80 to 310 grams.

Cultivation

Plant seeds for seedlings begin 55-60 days before the desired planting of tomatoes in a greenhouse or open soil. The optimum temperature for growing seedlings is + 22- + 24C. During the transplant of plants to a permanent habitat, per 1 sq. Km. meter planted from 1 to 4 tomatoes. As the plants grow, they sprout seedlings and tie them to the trellis.

Important!With a dense planting of tomatoes, there may be a risk of various fungal and infectious diseases.

Growing tomatoes Far Eastern lobule according to Dutch technology

Currently, there are many techniques for growing tomatoes, but Dutch is considered the most popular and effective. Thanks to this method, you can collect the maximum amount of the crop, and the fruits themselves will ripen juicy, fragrant and retain all their taste.

Method specifics

  1. At the time of rooting of seedlings, a special mineral wool substrate is used. The soil is not used, as it may contain various sticks of infectious diseases, fungi, as well as pests.
  2. To fertilize seedlings, ready-made fertilizers are used, which consist of all the necessary nutrients.
  3. The use of carbon dioxide during photosynthesis.
  4. Seedlings are pollinated with bumblebees and hornets, which are launched at the time of abundant flowering of tomatoes.

Sowing seeds using Dutch technology

The first thing to do is pick up quality and proven seeds. Before sowing, the substrate is abundantly moistened with warm water. Drainage lays at the bottom of the container or plastic cup, and mineral soil is poured over it. Next, the seeds are placed in containers, covered with a small layer of sand and vermiculite (each layer no more than 1 cm). The containers are covered with a film cap and placed in a dark room, away from active sunlight.

Important!The Dutch tomato growing method is only suitable for tall and medium-sized tomatoes.

After 10-13 days, after sowing the seeds in the container, the seedlings reach the desired size and are ready to dive into larger glasses or pots that are filled with a mineral substrate.

The main requirements for the Dutch seedlings Dolka Far Eastern:

  • the presence of 10 leaves on the first fruiting brush;
  • not too large peduncle;
  • a properly formed color brush should hang down;
  • stalk thickness from 1 to 1.5 cm.

Planting seedlings according to the Dutch method

The soil where the seedlings will be planted is pre-leveled and covered with a film of polyethylene to provide better reflection of direct sunlight and protect tomatoes from various pests. For 1 square. 2-3 plants are planted a meter, however, if the greenhouse is well clarified, 2 to 6 tomatoes can be planted. The distance between seedlings should be 40-50 cm, and between grooves 60-80 cm. Seedlings are planted, sprinkled with soil, abundantly watered with salt water and only under the root to avoid burns and damage.

Important!The quantity and quality of the future harvest of tomatoes The Far Eastern lobule according to Dutch technology directly depends on the observance of the temperature regime in the greenhouse. During the day it should be more than + 20С, at night - not less than + 16С.

In addition, air must always circulate in the greenhouses. This can be done with classic ventilation or with a conventional room fan. Tomatoes grow favorably with humidity from 65% to 75%. If the humidity in the greenhouse is below 55%, the pulp will be fibrous and dense.

Dutch seedlings care

Once the seedlings have been planted in a permanent habitat, they need to be regularly and properly watered. The best way to water plants is drip irrigation. To do this, use plastic hoses with a connected watering valve and perforation from below, so that the seedlings are watered evenly. Irrigation of tomatoes Far Eastern lobule is made taking into account several factors: soil condition, temperature in the greenhouse, day length. For irrigation use ordinary running water (rain), but its temperature should not be lower than 15%.

Feeding seedlings

The technique of fertilizing tomatoes using Dutch technology involves fertilizing seedlings through leaf plates. Every week, in the late evening, seedlings are mechanically sprayed with a solution of boron and magnesium. The level of calcium and pH in the soil is monitored. Lack of nutrients in the soil, contributes to the uneven ripening of berries and can cause rot on tomatoes Far Eastern lobule.

Harvest

I harvest in the early morning, four times every seven days. More often than not, fruits weigh much more in the morning than in the evening. In winter, the berries are picked even if their color is a little dull than usual. The collected tomatoes are stacked in special containers, the bottom of which is laid out with a sheet of rubber or polystyrene to avoid damage to the fruit. Ten days before the last expected harvest of tomatoes, seedlings are stained with ethylene to accelerate the ripening of the last berries.

Tomato Dolka Far Eastern - the most delicious and productive variety, which is cultivated by many experienced summer residents in their area. The fruits taste good and are most often used for raw consumption, however, from smaller fruits, gardeners cover various sauces and preparations for the winter.

Reviews:

Irina, 53 years old, Ufa

I have been breeding the Far Eastern Lobule variety for about 5 years, and I know a lot about these tomatoes. She grew tomatoes, both in open soil and in greenhouses.In my experience, I can say that in greenhouse breeding, tomato yields are 2 times higher, but there is a big risk of late blight.

 

Tamara, 64 years old, Izhevsk

I plant tomatoes Far Eastern lobule only in open soil. After 14 days, after planting the seedlings in the ground, I carry out the prevention of late blight, mulch the soil and water only under the root. For three years of growing tomatoes, tomatoes have never been sick. Fruits grow large, juicy, and bushes - deciduous and green.
