Description and characteristics of the tomato variety Dekabrist f1

The Dekabrist f1 tomato is a hybrid variety. To create it, Russian and international breeders spent several years carefully selecting tomato varieties with the desired characteristics. This work resulted in the Dekabrist variety, which boasts a relatively high yield, is resistant to various diseases, and can withstand garden pests.

However, this hybrid plant has one drawback: farmers cannot harvest its seeds themselves, so those who decide to grow Dekabrist f1 tomatoes will have to purchase seeds every year from specialized seed farms.

Experienced farmers advise novice gardeners to plant Dekabrist f1 in nests, with each bush occupying an area of ​​0.6 x 0.6 m. Good seed germination is noted for this variety, allowing for almost complete utilization of the seed material and a high yield.

How to care for the plant?

Seedlings grown from purchased seeds should be planted in already tilled soil. Planting can be done in March-April or in the summer.

It's worth keeping in mind that the first inflorescence on a bush of this variety most often forms above the 9th or 10th leaf. It's recommended to completely remove all shoots below this level. Failure to do so will cause the trunk to become heavy, necessitating the installation of supports to prevent the stem from breaking.

It's important to note that this variety's growth ends with the inflorescence. Careful removal of side shoots is recommended. You can limit their number by removing the growing point. It's best to leave the shoot with the new growing point at a level above the third inflorescence.

Since the hybrid variety Dekabrist f1 is resistant to many fungal and other diseases and is not affected by various pests, any novice gardener can grow this variety. But it should be taken into account that watering the bushes should be carried out according to a schedule so that the soil is constantly moist. Every week, you need to loosen the beds and weed them, otherwise you could lose most of the harvest. Staking the bushes is not necessary.

The Dekabrist f1 variety is most often eaten straight from the garden, but can also be preserved. Since tomatoes of this variety retain their flavor for several months, they can be used to make various pickles not only in summer or fall, but even in winter.
