Description and characteristics of the Evpator tomato variety, yield and cultivation

Among the wide variety of tomato cultivars, there are several hybrids. One popular option is the Evpator tomato. This variety is prized for its high yield and ease of care.

Characteristics and description of the Evpator F1 tomato

The hybrid variety Evpator F1 has a number of distinctive qualities. When planning to plant this variety, it's recommended to familiarize yourself with its key characteristics beforehand.

Productivity and fruiting

The popularity of the variety is due to the possibility of obtaining a harvest on an industrial scale. With proper care, you can harvest up to 40 kg per square meter of land. Fruiting begins 100-110 days after planting the seedlings.

Resistance to diseases and pests

Evpator F1 is highly resistant to pests and common diseases. In unfavorable climates and adverse environmental conditions, there is a risk of phoma infection.

Suitable region and climate

Tomatoes are intended for planting in greenhouse conditions, so cultivation is permitted in almost all regions of the country.

The variety demonstrates good yield indicators both in the southern and northern regions.

Characteristics of bushes

Spreading, large bushes reach a height of 1.4-1.8 m. Standard-type plants are classified as indeterminate.

Characteristics of vegetables

Ripe fruits acquire a red hue and a slightly elongated, rounded shape. The average weight of the fruit is 130-170 g. The skin is smooth and even. The number of internal chambers varies from 4 to 6.

History of selection

The variety was developed by Russian breeders. Evpator F1 was officially added to the State Register in 2008.

Advantages and disadvantages of the variety

Tomatoes have many beneficial properties. Key benefits include:

• high and stable yield;
• resistance to infections;
• high taste characteristics;
• friendly ripening of vegetables in a short period.

A small drawback is the need to trim growing branches and secure the bushes.

Instructions for planting tomatoes

To ensure your bushes consistently bear large fruit, it's important to follow several planting guidelines. The seedlings must be pre-treated, then favorable conditions for the seedlings' development must be created, and they must be transplanted into open soil in a timely manner.

When to plant?

Seedlings are sown from the second half to the end of March. Early sowing ensures the seeds have time to germinate before they are transferred to the greenhouse.

Selection and preparation of seeds

After purchasing seeds, it's recommended to visually inspect them to remove any damaged ones. The selected seeds are soaked in a potassium permanganate solution, using 1 g of the solution per cup of liquid. Simply place them in a cloth bag and soak them in the solution for 15-20 minutes, then rinse with water. The material is processed for disinfection, disease prevention, and enrichment with nutrients.

Planting seeds

Fill a seedling container with fertile soil and place tomato seeds on the surface. Cover the seeds with a layer of soil about 1 cm thick. For germination, the ambient temperature must be between 25-30 degrees Celsius, so it's recommended to keep the seedling containers near a heat source. Cover the seedlings with plastic film or glass to create a greenhouse effect.

Growing seedlings

While growing seedlings, it's important to regularly check the soil. If the soil dries out, spray it generously with a spray bottle. If it's too wet, simply remove the plastic wrap and let it dry naturally. If mold has formed on the soil where the seedlings are growing, carefully remove the infected layer and treat it with an antifungal agent.

Transplantation into open ground

40-45 days after sowing, the seedlings are transplanted into open ground. To do this, dig shallow holes in the prepared area and place one seedling in each.

How to care for it properly?

Seedlings transplanted to a permanent location require regular care. When growing the hybrid variety Evpator F1, standard care is sufficient, including watering, fertilizing, bush training, and protective treatments.

Top dressing

Fertilize tomatoes 5-10 days after planting, during the active flowering period, and a week before the planned harvest. Phosphorus-potassium and nitrogen fertilizers are suitable for the Evpator F1 variety.

Pinching out stepsons

The Evpator F1 variety has highly branched and spreading bushes, so they need to be trained to allow sunlight to reach the fruit. Overgrown side shoots should be removed regularly. The tomato is trained into a single stem. The top of the plant can be pruned, but this will prevent the stem from becoming too elongated and branching.

Watering

Moisten the soil as it dries. Avoid overwatering, as stagnant moisture can cause root rot.

Pest and disease control

If pests or signs of disease are detected, spraying with protective agents is necessary. Insecticides and fungicides designed for vegetable crops are used.

Collection and storage

Ripe tomatoes can be harvested until the first frost. During harvesting, inspect the fruits to remove any damaged ones. Store tomatoes in the refrigerator or in a cool, dark place with low humidity.
