How to grow a variety of tomatoes White filling

Peculiarities

White filling 241 became known in 1979 on the territory of Kazakhstan. This wonderful variety of tomatoes owes its appearance to specialists who worked at the Vegetable Experimental Station under the guidance of Professor Edelstein. White filling 241 is the result of crossing tomato varieties such as 14-22 Pushkinsky and Viktor Mayak 12/24.The features of this variety can rightfully be called its versatility, since the cultivation of tomatoes is carried out without problems both in open ground and in greenhouses.

When grown in a garden bed, White filling 241 can grow up to 50 cm, and in a greenhouse - up to 70 cm. Also, the fruits of this vegetable can be consumed both fresh and canned. It can grow in almost all regions of our country. This is due to another feature of the White filling - an increased degree of frost resistance, due to which this type of tomato can be easily grown in regions with a rather harsh climate.

Also, the variety is early maturing, the first tomatoes can be tasted after 100 days in open ground. And when growing such tomatoes in a greenhouse, you can feast on them after 85 - 90 days. This vegetable culture is quite resistant to late blight disease - precisely due to the early ripening of the fruits. Another advantage of the White filling is the ease of caring for its plantings. Since the variety is determinant, such tomatoes do not need to be tied and pinned. Experts advise only to transfer the growth point to a lateral shoot in order to increase yields.

Yield

As for the degree of yield, this type of tomato is able to please its owner with selected fruits in the amount of about 3 kg from each bush.

It should be borne in mind that this is one of the oldest varieties of domestic selection. And then the new varieties of tomatoes that appeared did not have such a quality as a very high yield. If we talk about the timing of ripening of fruits, then a third of them from the total number planted on the site can ripen at the same time.

This gives summer residents an excellent opportunity to harvest vegetables in the shortest possible time, as well as to process it. It is this quality, as well as the extraordinary ease of caring for the crop, coupled with the early ripening of the fruits, that for many years have made this tomato variety very popular among gardeners in various regions of our country.
