The Plyushkin F1 tomato, reviews of which indicate its popularity among amateur vegetable growers, is distinguished by its simple growing conditions, disease resistance, and excellent taste.

Advantages of a hybrid

The Plyushkin tomato variety is grown in regions with short, hot summers. Its key characteristics include early ripening and excellent flavor.

The round, smooth fruits have a sweet and sour taste. In cooking, tomatoes are used in salads and preserves.

During the growing season, the plant forms a compact bush, approximately 70 cm tall, with medium-sized, light-green leaves. The yield is 4 kg/m². This variety of tomato is suitable for cultivation in open ground, under plastic film, and in unheated greenhouses.

The fruit description also notes the preservation of commercial quality during transportation. The tomatoes ripen well in warm conditions, and the harvested crop can be stored for 1.5 months at room temperature.

The fruits are medium-sized, weighing 100–125 g, and have a firm consistency. When ripe, the tomatoes are a rich red color.

This first-generation tomato hybrid is characterized by a short growing season. Fruit ripening occurs in 98 days from germination. The plant is resistant to fusarium and TMV. Fruit ovaries form on the bush regardless of weather and temperature conditions.

Rapid fruit ripening prevents late blight. This hybrid is recommended for growing on homestead plots and in summer cottages.

Agricultural technology of cultivation

Cultivation of the plant in garden plots is carried out taking into account agricultural conditions. The hybrid is sensitive to excess nitrogen in the soil, so it is important to take this into account when applying mineral fertilizers.

Tomato care guidelines stipulate the timing of sowing seeds for seedlings. Vegetable growers recommend sowing in specially prepared containers after March 15th, and in permanent locations after the first frost.

Read

When planting, add 2 tablespoons of superphosphate to each hole as fertilizer. Water only when the surface soil dries. The bushes are trained into two stems. To ensure light reaches the ovaries, the foliage around them is trimmed.

Bushes and clusters of fruits require garters. During the growing season, a complex of mineral fertilizers is applied 3 times.

The formation of healthy crop bushes depends on the previous plants in the garden bed. Cabbage, radishes, onions, and legumes (beans and peas) are ideal.

When space is limited, cereal crops (oats, rye) and mustard are sown on plots, and the bed is dug up to cover the seedlings.

Recommendations from vegetable growers

The Plyushkin tomato variety is resistant to nightshade diseases, and its early ripening period prevents late blight. However, to preserve the harvest, gardeners recommend:

observe the watering regime;
During periods of prolonged rain, cover plants with film;
apply mineral fertilizers in a timely manner;
when growing indoors, ventilate the greenhouse in a timely manner;
mulch the soil using sawdust, dried grass, and black agricultural fabric;
spray the ovaries to stimulate growth.

In dry summers, plants are treated with insecticides against whiteflies and spider mites.

According to reviews from gardeners who cultivate the Plyushkin hybrid, the tomatoes have excellent taste, abundant fruiting, and resistance to diseases.

Valery Sharapov, 62 years old, Ufa:

"I've been growing the Plyushkin hybrid for several years because of its tomato flavor and long shelf life. I sow the seeds in specially prepared containers for seedlings in mid-March. I transplant them when two true leaves form, and plant them in the ground in mid-May. The most important thing when caring for the plant is timely watering. I set up drip irrigation to ensure perfect soil moisture and maintain aeration of the root system."

Elena Dobrolyubova, 49 years old, Tver:

"On the recommendation of colleagues, I bought a packet of Plyushkin tomato seeds last year. I was surprised by the ease of care, amazing taste, and long shelf life of the fruit."
