Growing

Growers note the variety's undemanding nature. It tolerates short-term drought. The fruits do not crack when watering resumes.

To get a good harvest, you should follow the growing rules:

1. To obtain a bountiful harvest, grow from seedlings. It is recommended to begin forcing in the third ten days of March.
2. Your own seeds should be tested for germination: this will allow you to calculate the required quantity for planting as accurately as possible.
3. The seeds prepared by the farmer must be disinfected in a solution of potassium permanganate. Then (to speed up germination) they must be kept in potassium humateAfter drying, the material is ready for planting.
4. It is necessary to pick the plants deeper when one true leaf grows.
5. The plants require fertilizing with a mineral complex for seedlings. The first application is made when the second true leaf appears. Subsequent applications follow the manufacturer's instructions.
6. Planting in a permanent location should begin after the soil warms to 15 degrees Celsius. It's important to wait until the threat of frost has passed.
7. The market's miracle is overloaded with fruit: the bushes are breaking under the weight of the tomatoes. Staking the plants is recommended.
8. Tomatoes require regular fertilizing. The first application should be done a week after planting in their permanent location. Then, apply a fertilizer complex according to the instructions on the package. The variety responds well to foliar nitrogen feeding. A solution of fermented grass (1 part infusion to 8 parts water) is suitable.
9. The maximum yield is obtained when growing tomatoes in 1-2 stems.
10. The variety produces few side shoots, but to increase yield, these need to be removed.
11. Water moderately. To simplify the process, it is recommended to install a drip irrigation system.

The Market Miracle bears fruit for 2-3 months. To obtain marketable (even) fruit, follow the plant care instructions.

Care Features

Farmers are advised to remember: Miracle Market was developed for southern regions. It won't grow well in open ground in the central or northwestern regions due to the insufficient warm season.

When grown in greenhouses, the bushes grow to 1.7–1.8 m. However, yields drop to 6–8 kg per bush. This tomato is easy to grow. However, it responds to regular fertilizing with increased fruit count and weight.

Understanding the basics of agrobiology will help you grow tomatoes without losses. This market miracle requires moisture- and air-permeable soil with a pH of 5.5. Cultivation of the soil should replace watering during prolonged droughts.

Advantages and disadvantages

The positive qualities of the variety include:

• resistance to major tomato diseases;
• unpretentiousness;
• high yield;
• large-fruited;
• taste;
• transportability and marketability of fruits;
• ease of implementation;
• undemanding to lighting;
• drought resistance;

But when grown on an industrial scale, there are also disadvantages:

• the need for pinching and gartering;
• Possibility of cultivation only in southern regions;
• decrease in yield when planting in greenhouses.

Farmers should remember: tomatoes can only be saved from late blight by harvesting before temperatures drop steadily..

Pests and diseases

Anyone who has planted the Market Miracle variety knows it's resistant to major tomato diseases. However, this variety does have its enemies. Market Miracle is susceptible to rot. To prevent the disease, it's recommended to follow proper agricultural practices. At the first sign of disease, treat the bushes with copper-containing preparations.

The mole cricket causes damage to plantings. It gnaws at the roots of bushes, causing the plants to die. To combat this pest, it is recommended to remove egg clutches in the spring. In the fall, piles of manure should be laid out. Ground crickets settle in these piles for the winter. The piles should be collected and burned.

Ant nests near the beds should be destroyed. These insects spread aphids to the tomato plants. At the same time, it is recommended to spray the plants with a tobacco infusion mixed with green soap.

Scattered crushed eggshells will help prevent slug infestations. They should be spread in a continuous strip 4–5 cm wide.

Harvesting and storage

The harvest should be done when the fruit has uniformly reached the variety's characteristic bright red color. Regular harvesting allows the green berries to ripen.

Store in a cool, dark place before transporting. The product will keep for up to two weeks. Store in a refrigerator at 3–6 degrees Celsius for up to 1.5 months.

Gardeners' reviews

Gardeners' reviews of the variety are positive. Farmers note that the stated characteristics fully correspond to the actual ones. They are particularly pleased with the taste and marketability of the tomatoes.

However, the decline in yield when growing tomatoes in a greenhouse and the unsuitability of the Chud Rynok variety for cultivation in the Central and Northwestern regions are disappointing.
