Features of the variety and subtleties of agricultural technology of the high-yielding tomato Batyan

History of the origin of the variety

In recent years, the climate of the regions has changed significantly. And if it's easy to get used to warm winters, then severe return frosts are a real destructive problem for plants. Increasingly, breeders are also thinking about this problem.

A team of scientific breeders consisting of V.N.Dederko, O.V. Postnikova and G.V. Botyaeva have developed many tomato varieties that are resistant to difficult weather conditions. Batyanya is another successful modern experiment. In 2008, the culture was included in the State Register of Varieties of the Russian Federation. And two years later he was recognized as an outstanding achievement of breeding. It is important to note that Batyan is not a hybrid form.

The tomato is zoned in the Novosibirsk region and the Altai Territory, which means that the plant is ready for difficult weather conditions and adaptation to various changes.

Officially, the seeds of the variety are presented on the market by the Siberian Garden company, which produces products under the control of the authors and is responsible for its quality. However, other manufacturers can also be found on sale.

Varietal features and characteristics

Batyania is ready for growing both in the open field and in greenhouse conditions. To obtain the maximum possible yield, it is recommended to plant the tomato in the open ground of the southern regions and in greenhouses in the middle lane.

Description of the bushes

The indeterminate nature of the variety provides an almost unlimited growth potential. Therefore, subject to the presence of a trellis or other support, the bush can reach a height of about 2 m. And this is not the limit. With its high growth, the plant does not have a powerful stem, it is not prone to branching either. The best option is a bush with 1 or 2 stems.

The root system is rather shallow, the roots do not go deep into the soil. Leaves of the usual shape and color for tomatoes, but large and sparsely located. The inflorescences are simple, there are many flower brushes, but the fruits are usually tied on just a few. Each cluster has an average of up to 3 large fruits.

Commercial and taste qualities of fruits

The first fruits appear within three months after the seedlings emerge. Fruiting may take a little longer under unfavorable climatic conditions. Fruit weight ranges from 200 to 300 g. Heart-shaped, the base tip is slightly elongated. Surface edges are poorly expressed.

The unripe fruit is pale green in color with a darker spot at the base. As it ripens, the tomato turns pink and becomes an even crimson color. The skin is thin, pleasant to the touch, with a glossy texture.

The pulp is quite juicy, not too dense, but not loose, slightly sugary at the breaks, literally melts in the mouth. There are many seeds, but they are small.

The taste of tomatoes is simply amazing - fresh tomato with a sweet aftertaste. But the lack of a balanced combination of acid and sweetness prevents tomato from taking a leading position and getting the highest tasting points. The fruits are distinguished by a high degree of transportability, even over long distances.

Productivity and use of tomatoes

Reviews of the crops obtained are very diverse. On average, you can expect to get 2-3 kg per bush. However, some gardeners claim that in greenhouse conditions, you can get twice as much.

In any case, we advise you to focus on the degree of possible yield declared by the manufacturer. Since individual gardeners can use various chemicals to increase yields.

Batyan is classified as a salad variety. However, excellent tomato juice, ketchup, lecho are obtained from the fruit. It is difficult to preserve the tomato as a whole, but the density of the pulp allows the processing of the parts while maintaining their shape.

Endurance

The variety was bred for the purpose of adaptation and growth in unfavorable conditions, therefore it tolerates temperature fluctuations and cold snaps well. Not a hindrance to culture and high temperature. But excessive moisture can provoke cracking of the fruit. With a sufficient amount of natural precipitation, the variety does not need additional watering, but drought will negatively affect the quantity and quality of fruits.

Advantages and disadvantages

The subtleties of agricultural technology Batian tomato

Usually gardeners prefer to buy ready-made seedlings. However, then no one is safe from acquiring a different variety. Next, you will learn how to grow seedlings from seeds yourself.

Growing seedlings

You will need a dark, warm place to germinate your seeds. Before sowing, it is recommended to test the seeds for germination. To do this, dissolve a teaspoon of salt in a glass of warm water. Then pour out the seeds. The suitable grains will sink to the bottom. The seeds must be removed and rinsed thoroughly.

About two months before transplanting in open ground, the seeds are placed in a moistened fertile mixture. If a common container is used, then in the future (after the appearance of the first pair of leaves) it will be necessary to carry out a pick in separate small containers. Seedlings will appear in about a week, and then you need to lower the temperature by 5-7 ° C.

Transplanting seedlings into the ground

When the seedlings reach a height of about 15 cm, they can be transplanted to a permanent place. It is recommended to pre-feed the place with wood ash or milk whey. If the acidity of the soil is high, then liming must be carried out. The place needs to be chosen sunny, protected from drafts.

Since the tomato belongs to the indeterminate type, it is not recommended to plant more than 3 bushes per 1 m². If a denser planting is planned, then only in one stem.

Tomato care

For the development of kuta and a good harvest, it must not only be tied up, but also regularly watered and fed. In dry weather, water at least 2 times a week, several liters per bush. After rain and watering, it is recommended to loosen the land.

Tomatoes are fed once every two weeks with a complex fertilizer for tomatoes containing nitrogen, potassium, phosphorus and other trace elements.

Flowering and fruiting bushes cannot be fed with organic matter. Otherwise, all the power will go into the green mass, and there will be no fruit.

Pest and disease control

Although the Batianya variety according to reviews has good immunity, the tomato is not immune from the appearance of late blight and white-winged butterfly. That is why it is necessary to take care of the preventive treatment of bushes with fungicides and bioinsecticide solutions.

Reviews of gardeners

A more objective opinion can be added according to the reviews of gardeners and summer residents.

But there are those who did not like the variety at all. You can be convinced of the merits of Batiani by growing the variety yourself. This is what we advise you to do by taking just a little space in your garden.
