Secrets and features of growing juicy large-fruited tomatoes of the Mazarin variety

The history of the appearance of the variety

Tomatoes of this variety were first bred by the agricultural firm "Biotekhnika". Tomatoes immediately became popular. They began to exchange seeds, order by mail. A little later, another breeding agricultural company - "Aelita" - bred a hybrid variety with different characteristics, and patented it under the same name - Mazarin. And then the confusion began. Some summer residents planted a tomato from Biotekhnika, others from Aelita. As a result, due to the fact that the varieties are completely different, but have the same name, the gardeners did not get what they wanted.

Features of planting and growing

Like any plant, Mazarin has its own care characteristics.

Growing tomato seedlings

In order for the seedlings to develop well, it is necessary to keep the temperature in the greenhouse around + 25 ° C. With the appearance of the first shoots, you need to remove the film and give the plants good lighting. If there is no sun, use additional lighting. It is necessary to water the bushes at the very roots, but only when the soil is dry.

When the first leaves grow, the plants need to be picked off, planting in different pots with fertilizing. Can be planted in peat pots, and then transplanted into regular soil. When the frost is over, all seedlings must be hardened in the air, at first not for long, and then within 24 hours.

Planting tomatoes in a permanent place

Planting vegetables on open soil can be done at the end of the frost, with the soil warming up to +16 ° C. Depending on the region, this is done in late May or early June.

Before you start planting plants, you need to loosen and prepare places for future growth. Then add a little potassium and phosphorus salts to the finished wells. After that, you can pour in fertilizer once a month.

Watering and feeding

Tomatoes require periodic watering. This is best done when the moisture from the previous watering has already dried up. This will not allow the roots of the plant to rot from excess moisture or dry out if there is no more water.

It is best to feed with special fertilizer mixtures intended for tomatoes.

Plant formation

Since Mazarin tomatoes are prone to pinching, it is necessary to periodically cut the "daughter" shoots, leaving the main bush. This will allow all the juices and nutrients from the soil to penetrate into the main part of the plant, and then there will be a lot of juicy fruits.

Protection from pests and diseases

If you want to prevent garden pests and diseases from destroying the future crop, keep an eye on the plants. Do not overuse chemical sprays - they destroy the soil.

This type of plant tolerates most of the diseases that affect nightshade. But to keep your tomatoes safe, take preventive measures.

Do not pour vegetables. It is necessary to constantly ventilate the greenhouses, as well as apply fertilizers on time.

Do not use nitrogen fertilizing - they spoil the nutrient layer of the soil and cause the death of the ovaries.

Water the roots of the plant periodically with an aqueous solution of manganese or copper sulfate. Spray tomato stems and leaves with special anti-fungal agents.

To protect the plant from the bear, when planting seedlings, place the lower part of the stem in plastic tubes. Since the bear lives in the upper layers of the soil, it will not be able to penetrate under the plastic and attack the plant.
