Almost all gardeners grow tomatoes. They try to plant varieties whose fruits can be used for canning and salads. Anyuta is just the kind of tomato that looks great in jars and tastes fresh in salads.
Characteristics of the variety
Anyuta bushes grow up to 65-72 cm; the tomato is a determinate variety. The tomato stem is quite strong, so tying it is not necessary. However, experienced gardeners recommend using additional supports, because under the weight of ripe fruits the bushes can bend and break. Hybrid Anyuta F1 is characterized by high resistance to some diseases: tobacco mosaic, blossom end rot. You can protect tomato beds from harmful insects and parasites using wood ash and tobacco dust. Slightly flattened ripe pansy fruits do not crack and are distinguished by a bright red color as in the photo. When a tomato ripens, it gains an average weight of 96-125 g; 2.3-2.8 kg can be harvested from a bush. Anyuta F1 tomatoes are well transported, have an excellent presentation and can be stored indoors for about one month.
Already 85-95 days after sowing the seeds, you can begin to harvest. Therefore, the Anyuta tomato is considered ultra-early.Some summer residents manage to get two harvests per season.
The second sowing of tomatoes is done in early May and from the second half of August you can start harvesting. If warm autumn weather continues, tomato bushes continue to bear fruit until mid-September.
The advantages of the Anyuta tomato include:
- compact form of bushes;
- early ripening;
- possibility of growing in greenhouses and open ground;
- excellent keeping quality of tomatoes of the Anyuta variety when transported over long distances;
- resistance to disease;
- excellent taste.
Gardeners do not identify any distinctive disadvantages in the Anyuta tomato variety.
Features of growing seedlings
Some gardeners do not like to tinker with seeds - they believe that it is very troublesome and expensive. However, by adhering to the rules for growing seedlings, it is quite possible to obtain excellent seedlings on your own and without much effort.
Planting stages
In order to start picking ripe Anyuta tomatoes early, you should not skip the sowing time. The optimal period is the last ten days of March (but it is better to focus on the climatic features of the region).
- The highest quality seed material of the Anyuta F1 tomato is pre-selected. To do this, the grains are dipped in a saline solution (a teaspoon of salt is dissolved in a glass of water). Empty and small seeds float and are not suitable for planting. The rest of the seed material is washed well.
- To increase germination and yield, the grains are pre-soaked (for no more than 12 hours) in special solutions (nutrient mixtures Virtan-Micro, Epin).Then the seeds of the Anyuta tomato variety are placed in a damp cloth and stored in a warm place. Germination requires 1 to 3 days. As soon as the first shoots appear, the grains are planted in special soil.
- It is recommended to prepare the soil in advance - the soil should be nutritious and loose. A thin layer of drainage (small pebbles or wood shavings) and a nutrient mixture are poured into the container. You can prepare the soil yourself, but it is better to use a store-bought special soil mixture.
- In the moistened soil, make smooth, shallow (1-1.5 cm) grooves, where Anyuta F1 tomato seeds are carefully placed and sprinkled. The entire soil surface is compacted (without much effort). The sown area is lightly watered with water with the addition of a growth stimulator (Previkur Energy). To maintain soil moisture, it is recommended to cover the box with plastic wrap.
As soon as the first seeds germinate, the container is opened and placed in a warm, well-lit place.
When the second leaves appear on the seedlings, you can start planting the Anyuta tomato in separate containers (special mini containers or plastic cups). About two weeks before planting the plants in open ground, the seedlings begin to be hardened off: the containers are taken out into the open air for a certain time.
If the temperature outside at night does not drop below 13-15˚ C, then you can plant Anyuta tomato sprouts in open ground. By this time, the seedlings usually have a powerful stem approximately 25-30 cm high.
Since Anyuta tomatoes are medium-sized, it is recommended to place the holes in a checkerboard pattern, at a distance of 30-45 cm between the bushes in the row.Leave 60-70 cm at the row spacing. Sometimes manufacturers recommend a planting scheme on the packages.
How to care for tomato beds
The area for tomatoes is prepared in advance: in the fall the ground is dug up and fertilized. In the spring, immediately before planting, the soil is loosened and removed weeds. The Anyuta tomato does not require special soil composition; timely application of fertilizing is sufficient.
It is better to transplant tomatoes into the garden in cloudy weather or in the evening. You need to remove seedlings from containers immediately before planting, after moistening the soil in cups.
Watering rules
After planting, the first watering is done after 2-3 days. You should try to pour water under the roots of the tomatoes, avoiding liquid getting on the leaves.
In sunny, dry weather, it is recommended to water in the evening so that the water does not evaporate quickly and soaks the soil well. Before the first ovary appears, you should not water frequently - it is enough to maintain soil moisture at the same level. As soon as the fruits of Anyuta tomatoes begin to gain weight, it is necessary to increase the volume of watering. But at the same time, the soil must be moistened regularly; sharp contrasts should not be allowed. A strong change in soil moisture can lead to cracking of tomatoes and slower growth of the ovary.
After moistening, the soil must be loosened. At the same time, weeds are carefully removed and attention is paid to the roots of the Anyuta tomato variety.If adventitious roots are exposed, the bushes should be spudded.
Fertilizer application
Three weeks after transplanting the Anyuta tomato seedlings into open ground, the first fertilizing is carried out. It is recommended to use liquid fertilizer “Ideal” and nitrophoska (a tablespoon of each component is diluted in 10 liters). 500 g of solution is added to each bush.
When the flower clusters begin to bloom, apply the next portion of fertilizer. To make a nutrient solution, dilute a tablespoon of Signor Tomato fertilizer in 10 liters of water. For one tomato bush of the Anyuta variety, a liter of mixture is enough. After two to three weeks, you can apply a superphosphate solution (a tablespoon per 10 liters of water).
Those who like organic fertilizers can use bird droppings. To create a solution, take equal amounts of litter and water. The mixture is infused for 3-4 days. To avoid burning the roots of the tomato, the resulting concentrate is additionally diluted with water in a ratio of 1:15. Approximately 2-2.5 liters of fertilizer are poured under each bush.
If there are weak bushes, it is recommended to carry out foliar feeding - Anyuta tomatoes are sprayed with a urea solution (a tablespoon of fertilizer per 5 liters of water).
Tomatoes of the Anyuta variety are very popular among summer residents and gardeners due to their early ripening and resistance to diseases. This tomato is perfect for growing both in small dachas and in established farms.
