Characteristics and description of the Bogata Khata tomato variety, growing conditions

The Bogata Khata tomato belongs to the group of early-ripening hybrids, producing abundant fruit in midsummer. This variety is recommended for growing indoors. The medium-sized fruits ripen in sufficient quantities for canning and fresh consumption.

Characteristics of the hybrid variety

The f1 index listed on the seed packaging indicates that the plant is a hybrid variety with improved qualities. These varieties are characterized by high yields and immunity to many nightshade diseases.

The variety description provides details on the growing conditions. The plant forms a low-growing bush 35-45 cm tall. The appearance of the plant indicates the formation of a strong stem. It is sturdy enough to require no additional staking. The flowers are simple, and the leaves are a rich green.

The variety's characteristics and description indicate early ripening of the fruit. Three months are required from sowing the seeds for seedlings to ripening. These early-ripening tomatoes are small, weighing 110-120 g. The fruits are red, round, and smooth-surfaced, and do not crack as they grow. The variety yields 7.5-8 kg per square meter.

Culinary descriptions indicate a sweet flavor, aroma, and fleshy flesh. They are eaten fresh or canned. Due to their small size, the red fruits look great in glass jars.

Agrotechnical conditions for cultivation

Seeds are sown for seedlings by picking them out when they have 1-2 leaves. They are planted in the ground at 45-55 days old, with 4-5 seeds per square meter. This crop requires constant care.

To grow it and ensure a high yield, it's necessary to loosen the soil around the root system. This will ensure adequate moisture and improve air access to the root system. The crop needs to be watered and fertilized periodically.

The variety is disease-resistant. As a preventative measure, the bushes are sometimes sprayed with antifungal agents. To prevent cracking, ensure adequate moisture supply to the tomatoes.

If dry spots appear on the fruit, the spoiled vegetables are disposed of and the bush is treated with Antracol. The causes of the disease are violations of the agrotechnical conditions for cultivating the nightshade crop:

• improper care;
• improper watering;
• low humus content in the soil.

Biological pests (mole crickets, beetles, slugs, ticks) are controlled using ash, eggshells, and by spraying with chemical insect repellents.

Recommendations from gardeners

Anyone who has planted this tomato variety knows that abundant watering is recommended to regulate soil acidity. In northern regions, these tomatoes are recommended for greenhouse cultivation. In the Bogata Khata tomato's native land, they are grown outdoors.

Reviews from amateur gardeners indicate that the fruit can be transported over long distances thanks to its dense, defect-free skin.

Those who have grown tomatoes recommend increasing yields by adding organic fertilizers to the soil before planting seedlings.

Positive reviews indicate the simplicity of the crop cultivation technique and its tolerance to open ground conditions.

Elena Proklova, 43 years old, Podolsk:

"I've been growing the Bogata Khata variety at my dacha for several years. I don't buy seeds; I harvest them from the first overripe fruits. They have time to fully develop and provide almost 100% germination. As for the tomatoes themselves, I can say that they have a simply amazing aroma, and their sweet flavor creates harmony, enhancing every dish prepared with them."

Fedor Sokolov, 59 years old, Tomsk:

"I planted the Bogata Khata variety in my garden for the first time this year. The plant's description lives up to its name. Its high yield and abundant, successive ripening allow you to continually enjoy the flavor of its aromatic fruits."
