Modern science is rapidly moving forward. The field of genetics and selection has been particularly successful in the race for championship. Scientists annually develop thousands of new varieties of vegetables and fruits, which are significantly superior in their characteristics to the originals, making them very popular among gardeners. The need to develop new varieties is primarily related to constantly changing environmental conditions. Frequent and, as a rule, unpredictable weather forces us to find new ways to protect and fight for the harvest, to comprehend new knowledge and invent new hybrids. A striking representative of the new generation of tomatoes is the “Lyana” variety.
Description
The “Lyana” tomato is a representative of a determinate, early-ripening, high-yielding variety. The bushes are small, reaching 50 cm in height. Due to its small size, the plant does not need a garter, which makes it much easier to grow.
“Lyana” tomatoes are intended for cultivation both in open ground and in greenhouse conditions. With the first and second growing methods, the result will be excellent.
The fruits of this variety are small, round in shape, and in the biological maturity phase are bright red or pink in color. The color of a tomato depends on the variety. The weight of one vegetable reaches 60-80 grams.
The tomato pulp is juicy, dense, enclosed in a medium-hard skin.
In cooking, the fruits of the Lyana tomato variety are used for preparing salads, ketchups, as well as for pickling and preparing preparations for the winter.
Advantages and disadvantages of the variety
Among the positive qualities of the Lyana tomato are:
- unpretentiousness when growing;
- excellent taste characteristics;
- high productivity;
- early appearance of fruits and a long period of fruiting - right up to the first frost;
- good resistance to most common tomato diseases.
Some features of the variety, in order to obtain maximum yield, should still be taken into account by every gardener when growing. Don't forget that:
- This type of tomato is heat-loving, so harsh climate conditions are completely unsuitable for it;
- The bush requires constant and regular pinching. Only if this condition is met can you get a rich harvest of tomatoes.
Judging by the reviews of most gardeners, the Lyana tomato is not only a high-yielding variety, but also a fairly shelf-stable variety. During long-term storage, ripe fruits do not lose their presentation and tolerate transportation well even over long distances.
Abundant leaf cover requires regular removal of not only foliage, but also side shoots. All these inconveniences for the vegetable grower are fully compensated by the rich harvest.
Features of agricultural technology
Due to the fact that the plant is heat-loving, it should be grown in seedlings under certain climatic conditions. First, tomato seeds are planted in the ground for seedlings. After 2-2.5 months, the grown and strengthened bushes are planted in a greenhouse or in open ground.
Further care of the plant includes regular loosening of the soil, watering and timely pinching as the bush grows and the fruits ripen.
