Characteristics and description of the variety

Tomato Novichok was bred by Russian breeders Popova L.N. and Chulkov N.I. at the Volgograd selection station. The variety was introduced to the State Register of Breeding Achievements in 1986.

Bushes are determinant, that is, the plant suspends its growth during flowering. As a result, the bushes are compact, but non-standard, medium-leafy. The leaves are medium in size, with a usual green tint. Buds appear over 5-7 leaves. Further, brushes are formed every 1-2 sheets. In one brush, 6-7 tomatoes, they are almost identical in size. Usually almost all the flowers are tied, there are very few empty flowers.

Productivity

The bushes are low, so 6-7 bushes are planted immediately on 1 m2. About 2-2.2 kg is collected from the bush, and 12-15 kg of the crop is removed from 1 m2.

Ventilate the plantings daily by taking glass, monitor the moisture of the soil.When you see the first shoots, then remove the glass.

When 2-3 leaves grow, then dive seedlings. Feeding is best done at the same time as watering. Carefully water the seedlings 4 times: when sowing seeds, emergence of seedlings, growing the first true leaf and before picking.

After the soil in the greenhouse warms up to + 15-17 ° C, transplant the seedlings into the greenhouse. Dig holes, observing an indent of 40 cm between the bushes, 50 cm between the rows, place the seedlings and sprinkle with soil. Tamp the earth a little, tie up bushes, water them.
