Specifics of cultivating the variety

A soil mixture with humus and peat is ideal for planting, and for additional nutrition, it is recommended to add wood ash or superphosphate. Seeds are planted at a depth of 2 cm. Instead of watering, mist the soil. Keep in mind that frequent misting will cause the seeds to rot.

The container with planted seeds should be covered with film and left in a warm place until the first shoots appear.

Once the sprouts emerge, remove the film and move the container to a bright, warm location. For watering, it's best to use a spray bottle instead of a watering can. Fertilize the seedlings only after they develop two or three true leaves. Around mid-May, the plant will be fully established and ready for transplanting to its permanent location.

No more than 3 bushes are planted per square meter. Stresa tomatoes have a high yield, yielding over 25 kg of fruit per square meter.

The bush must be trained. This is done by pinching off the side shoots, which are removed after the fifth cluster. The bush is usually trained into two stems. Pinching off the side shoots stimulates the formation of new ovaries, which increases the yield.

It is very important to tie up plants. To do this, you need to install supports and carefully tie up the branches, being careful not to damage the trusses. Pieces of cut fabric are used as ties.

The Stresa variety is rarely affected by fusarium, verticillium wilt, tobacco mosaic, and other nightshade diseases. However, to enjoy a bountiful harvest and prevent plant diseases, it's important to maintain low humidity. Frequent ventilation is recommended for this purpose.

Loosening the soil is very beneficial and produces positive results. This strengthens and improves the root system's development. Mulching the soil with peat or straw is also helpful.

If insects appear in the soil, you'll need to use insecticides—chemicals—to control them. If you prefer not to use chemicals, you can water the plant with a decoction of onion peel, celandine, chamomile, or a light solution of potassium permanganate.

Given the high yield of this tomato variety, it is not surprising that it is planted more commercially, although these tomatoes will also do well in the garden.
