Tsunami Tomatoes are a medium early heat-loving salad variety that ripens in July and has excellent qualities, including juiciness and sweet taste. The fruits of this variety are pink, large, giving a large yield in total, the pulp with a sugary texture. The culture is most suitable for central Russia and cultivation in greenhouses.
Variety characteristics and description of Tsunami tomatoes
Tsunami tomato ripens on average 110-120 days from the appearance of the first shoots.
The growth of a bush of this variety in height is not limited, usually reaches one and a half meters and necessarily needs a garter and shaping. Shoots do not branch, give up to 7 fruiting clusters with 5 fruits each. It is recommended to cut off excess branches to avoid chopping the tomatoes.
Stem leaves of the variety are green, similar to corrugated paper.
Each fruit is characterized by an average weight of 300 g. According to the description, the Tsunami tomato is slightly ribbed, rounded, with a thin skin and dense juicy pulp, with six seed chambers. Its taste is considered better than others suitable for use in salads, making tomato juice, pasta and other dishes. Tsunami tomatoes are devoid of sourness, pronouncedly sweet.
Agrotechnology (cultivation)
Tomato Tsunami
Tsunami is characterized by extremely high yields and uniform fruiting.
Sowing is carried out in prepared or purchased seedling soil. The seeds are planted freely, sprinkled with a small layer of the same soil or covered with a film to avoid drying out. It is important not to isolate the crop from fresh air.
Seedlings germinate in a warm place in a temperature range of 14 to 20 degrees and under intense lighting, which can be supplemented with an artificial lamp.
The sprouts should be provided with a free space of at least 10 cm between adjacent plants. After two months, you can plant tomatoes in pre-fertilized soil in the greenhouse, providing a distance of 0.5 meters between the bushes. The procedure for planting in open ground should be completed with abundant watering and the first tying to a support to strengthen the vertical position of the stem.
It is advisable to complete the transplant by mid-May.
To maintain its shape, the bush is pinched from above to form the required number of strong branches. In the morning, he gets rid of the lower stem leaves and side shoots immediately after their formation. On the day of pruning, the plants are not watered.
Do not water on the day of pruning
The daytime temperature regime should be maintained in the range from 20 to 25 degrees, night - about 18. Conditions for maintaining the health of the Tsunami in the greenhouse are as follows:
- constant ventilation;
- regular loosening;
- hilling;
- molding;
- prevention of root flooding.
Strengths and weaknesses of the variety
In comparison with other varieties of tomatoes, Tsunami has its own combination of properties that must be considered when choosing:
| Advantages | disadvantages |
|---|---|
| Taste qualities | Susceptibility to late blight, cladosporium |
| Yield | Easily traumatized skin that makes it difficult to transport and preserve |
| Picky to conditions | |
| Long-term fruiting | |
| Average ripening period |
Tsunami's greatest vulnerability is late blight, a parasitic fungus of nightshade crops.
Strictly observed growing conditions will help save plants from it:
- avoidance of waterlogging,
- early boarding,
- protection of seedlings and adult plants with a film,
- disinfection of greenhouses.
Compositions for the prevention of late blight fungus are readily available potassium permanganate or special compositions from botanical stores, for example, "Merge-1", "Fitosporin", "Bordeaux mixture".
Subject to agricultural technology, it is easy to get a bountiful harvest of delicious tomatoes.
