The hybrid tomato Bogata Khata, well-known to amateur gardeners, was bred back in 1997 by a group of Ukrainian breeders.

The official supplier of this plant, which has miniature (dwarf) fruits, is the Aelita association (Moscow).

Best of all, the specified tomato variety showed itself in the southern regions of the country, where it successfully reproduces and bears fruit, being planted in open ground. In the middle zone of the country, it is recommended to grow it in artificially insulated beds, and closer to the north - in typical greenhouses or greenhouses.

Regarding diseases of plants of this species, we will immediately make a reservation that they rarely get sick. However, in order to prevent them, it is recommended to spray them with special antifungal drugs. It is also necessary to carefully monitor that the fruits of tomatoes are not threatened by harmful dew.

Since small cracks sometimes appear on them, to prevent this unpleasant phenomenon, it is necessary to ensure the normal flow of light and moisture to the bushes.

Growing features

When considering the agricultural technology of Bogata Khata tomatoes, no significant differences from other varieties of vegetable crops are usually found. However, there are some nuances regarding the planting of seedlings and vegetation of young seedlings. They will be discussed in more detail below.

Transplanting

For central Russia, the most suitable time for sowing seedlings is mid-March.

Additional Information.In other Russian regions with a harsher climate, it is recommended to do this in the last days of March or at the very beginning of April.

We pay special attention to the fact that before planting the seeds should be carefully selected and sifted out unfit for use. To do this, you need to do the simplest operation by placing them in a glass with an aqueous solution of salt and slightly stirring with any convenient object. The "correct" seeds will immediately sink to the bottom during stirring, which means they are suitable for planting (the ones remaining on the surface are simply thrown away).

Then, small depressions (no more than 1 cm) are made in pre-prepared peat pots, after which the previously selected seed is placed in them. After that, the soil under the future sprouts should be saturated with well-settled water at room temperature.

Peat pots

This should be done very carefully, trying not to disturb the position of the sown seeds (for this it is best to use a watering can with a fine mesh). Next, remove the pots with watered seedlings in any dark place until the first young sprouts hatch.

As soon as they appear, the pots need to be transferred to a well-lit windowsill or loggia, since their normal development is impossible without sunlight.

Transfer to soil

Features related to transplanting seedlings into the ground can be considered in the form of the following recommendations:

  • Planting it is carried out no earlier than the sprouts reach the age of two months;
  • The method of planting young bushes is square-nested;

Important! Since plants differing in stunting occupy a decent area, they should be planted at a distance of at least 50 cm from one another (in this case, later it will be possible to do without cutting off the overgrown lateral branches).

  • Low-growing tomatoes are not at all suitable for acidic soils, which must be diluted with chalk, lime or ash;
  • This variety of tomatoes in any situation requires feeding, which, in addition to the already mentioned organic matter, includes a standard set of potash and phosphate fertilizers (superphosphate and saltpeter);
  • During growth, the bush needs mandatory molding, which involves dividing it into 3-4 stems;
  • In no case should you forget about systematic watering of the plant, after each of which you should carefully loosen the soil. Due to this, moisture will reach the roots faster, and they themselves will be reliably protected from sudden temperature fluctuations.

With proper care of tomatoes at all stages of their growth, a rich harvest of ripe, juicy and tasty miniature fruits is guaranteed by autumn.

Advantages and disadvantages of the variety

The advantages of this variety include:

  • Resistance to sudden temperature fluctuations and to most garden diseases;
  • Very early ripening of the very first fruits;
  • Good yield indicators;
  • The ability for long-term storage and transportation for the purpose of delivery to the place of sale or consumption.

Regarding the shortcomings of the Bogata Khata variety, it should be noted that it practically does not have them (apart from the need for regular feeding). The diminutiveness of the fruit of this plant, which is sometimes referred to as its disadvantages, on the other hand, can be regarded as an advantage. And, indeed, thanks to this property, the tomato is ideal for growing for the purpose of canning or pickling, especially since small tomatoes look very appetizing in glass jars.

In conclusion, we note that the considered tomato variety is quite popular with amateur gardeners engaged in the cultivation of garden crops in all regions of the country. This popularity is due to the fact that it has an enviable resistance to climate change, thanks to which it was appreciated by all lovers of mid-early cultures.
