Description of the Bison Yellow tomato, greenhouse cultivation, and reviews from vegetable growers

Tomato Bison Yellow, which has excellent taste, is grown indoors. The fruits are used in cooking and are included in dietary nutrition as a hypoallergenic product.

Features of the variety

The Bison Yellow tomato variety is designed for greenhouse cultivation under plastic cover. Yields are significantly reduced when grown outdoors. This medium-ripening variety begins bearing fruit 115-120 days after germination.

This indeterminate tomato requires staking or trellising. It's a high-yielding variety, so to maximize yield, the bushes are trained into a single stem. Removing side shoots is recommended to ensure the fruit reaches maturity by the end of the season.

At the technical ripeness stage, tomatoes acquire a golden yellow color. The fruits are flattened and round, with a slightly ribbed surface.

The flesh is oily, rich, and full-flavored, and contains a small number of seeds. Tomatoes weigh up to 450 g, yielding 6.5 kg per square meter. The yellow fruits are hypoallergenic and contain no lycopene.

Tomatoes have a high concentration of beta-carotene (vitamin A). They are used fresh, slicing, and in various dishes and sauces. They are not suitable for canning due to their large size, and the tomato pieces tend to fall apart during cooking.

The variety is disease-resistant. Harvested fruits can be transported over long distances.

Agricultural technology for tomato cultivation

Seeds for seedlings are sown from February 20 to March 10. To speed up germination, seeds should be stored in a warm place. For seedlings, it's best to purchase ready-made tomato substrate that has been pre-treated against infections.

To initiate seed germination, place the seeds in warm water for 12 hours, then soak them in a growth stimulant. To ensure the seedlings are established and develop properly, they are pricked out 2-3 weeks after emergence.

By this time, the seedlings should have formed 2-3 leaves. Separate containers are prepared for each plant, into which the plants, along with a lump of soil, are transferred using a spoon.

The seedlings are ready for planting when their height reaches 25-35 cm, and each plant has formed 8-10 leaves and 1 flower brush.

When planting in the ground, space the plants 75-80 cm apart. It is recommended to plant the bushes in a sunny, well-lit location.

Watering of the crop is carried out once every 3-7 days as the surface layer of the soil dries out. For You can use regular yeast to feed tomatoes, which are dissolved in water. The aqueous solution (100 g of yeast per 10 liters of water) is watered onto plants at a rate of 0.5-1 liter per plant.

This procedure strengthens the root system and increases tomato resistance to disease. The carbohydrates, proteins, and B vitamins contained in yeast promote normal plant development.

It is recommended to apply mineral fertilizers containing phosphorus, nitrogen, and potassium under the roots. At the early stages of bush formation, chicken manure dissolved in water is added.

After the fruit forms on the first cluster, gradually remove the lower leaves. Two to three leaves can be removed per week. In August, stop the growth of the bush by removing the top of the main stem.

Opinions and recommendations of vegetable growers

Reviews from gardeners who grow the Bison Yellow tomato variety highlight the fruit's beneficial properties and its suitability for children's and dietary nutrition.

Elena Solovyova, 53 years old, Krasnodar.

The yellow Bison variety from the series caught my attention due to its fruit flavor and buttery flesh. I grew the tomato in a plastic greenhouse using seedlings. This particular variety doesn't have any other cultivation methods. For example, it can't be planted directly into the ground in a permanent location. As it grows, it develops a vigorous bush that requires care. Maintaining a proper watering schedule is crucial for this tomato. Overwatering can cause diseases. I mainly used the ripe tomatoes fresh.

Efim Antonov, 51 years old, Biysk.

I've been growing the Yellow Bison variety for several seasons. It's a high-yielding tomato, producing numerous berries throughout the fruiting season. It's important to provide secure support to prevent damage to the stems during ripening. The plant requires moderate watering, hilling, and loosening of the soil. Fertilizing is necessary at all stages of development.
