The main characteristics of tomato cap monomacha

The cap of Monomakh is no exception, that's why he immediately won love and great popularity among truck farmers.
Main factors: large-fruited, high yield, excellent taste, resistance to all typical diseases.
Bush description
A plant of indeterminate type, ideal for growing in greenhouses, but in the open ground, provided that the bush and garter are formed, also gives very good results.In the height reaches, m, to form better in two stems: in addition to the main stem, the second trunk is the stepson, which is located below the first brush, and the remaining stepsons are necessarily removed.

Main advantages
Summing up all the above, we can highlight the most important advantages of the variety (and there are many of them):
- very large and tasty fruit;
- high productivity;
- resistance to changeable weather conditions, rain, drought;
- high immunity to various diseases;
- amicable maturation of tomatoes.
Disadvantages can be considered only damage to branches under the weight of the fruit, cracking them at the stage of maturation. You should tie each brush, if you want a rich harvest. To avoid cracking during the ripening stage, watering is minimized.
..Agrotechnics of cultivation
Like any other, this hybrid is also grown in seedlings.
Planting seeds and caring for seedlings
Planting of seeds should be calculated taking into account the climatic zone so that at least 60 days have elapsed before the proposed planting of seedlings in the open ground. More precisely, the appearance of the first shoots should take 40-45 days.
The process of sowing seeds for seedlings is no different from sowing other tomatoes.Seeds are soaked in a weak solution of manganese for, hours. Prepare packagings and soil in advance. For the soil take 1/2 part of the earth, 1/2 part of the peat or the overgrown manure. Add 1 cup of sand and 1 cup of wood ash to 1 bucket of the mixture, mix well. Fill with tare: wooden boxes 10-12 cm high, plastic cups or containers with drainage holes.
Treated seeds are applied to the soil to a depth of 1 cm, gently moistened, the container is covered with glass or transparent film, put in a warm, well-lit place. When the seeds get through, the film is removed, the room temperature is lowered slightly so that the shoots do not stretch, but the illumination should still be maximum (minimum 12-14 hours).
At the stage of the appearance of 2 real leaflets, the seedlings are dived and pinched. After 10 days, you can make the first combined top dressing.
Planting seedlings in the open ground and subsequent care
In open soil or greenhouses seedlings are planted at the age of 40-45 days, pre-tempering it on the street in the daytime. The landing scheme - 50х60 cm, per 1 sq. Km. m - up to 4 plants.
Further - usual leaving:moderate watering with warm water 3 times a week, timely fertilizing, loosening of the soil and removal of weeds, mandatory pasynkovanie and careful garters of bushes.
How to get the seeds for the next year?
