Characteristics and benefits of the Briscolino tomato variety

The early-ripening Briscolino f1 tomato is prized by vegetable growers for its impeccable flavor and high yield. The dark-red fruits ripen in clusters, are resistant to cracking, and are versatile in use.

Advantages of the variety

The Briscolino f1 tomato is a first-generation hybrid. This mid-early variety begins bearing fruit 118 days after germination. Ripening time depends on growing conditions.

The fruit type description classifies this hybrid as a cocktail tomato. The elongated shape of the tomato resembles a plum. The fruits are picked from the bush individually or in clusters. The tomatoes are an intense red color; their weight ranges from 25 to 50 grams.

The plant is resistant to viral and fungal diseases. The Briscolino hybrid's yield is unaffected by climate conditions and temperature fluctuations. The plant does not drop its ovaries, and when ripe, the fruits are resistant to cracking.

Cultivation techniques

The hybrid can be grown from seedlings or sown directly into the ground. The appropriate time for planting depends on the type of cultivation. Seeds are planted permanently after the frost period ends, when the soil has warmed to the desired temperature.

Planting seedlings begins in the first half of March. Fill containers or pots with soil mixture and sow seeds treated with an aloe vera juice solution and growth stimulant at a depth of 1 cm.

To ensure uniform germination, maintain a stable temperature and provide additional lighting using special lamps. Seedlings require periodic soil moisture and fertilization with complex fertilizers.

At 5 days old, the seedlings are transplanted to their permanent location, maintaining a 60 cm distance between the bushes. Before growth begins, the bush is formed into 1-2 stems. If the seedlings were transplanted to the garden bed before the fertile season, it is recommended to cover them with plastic film.

The best predecessors for the hybrid are legumes, pumpkins, carrots, and beets. The planting site should be sunny and protected from the wind. To stimulate growth and promote healthy growth, add organic fertilizer to the hole.

Caring for the crop involves loosening the soil, timely fertilizing with complex fertilizers, and weed control. To maintain the soil structure and evenly distribute moisture, you can mulch the soil using last year's grass or black fiber.

Opinions and recommendations of vegetable growers

Vegetable growers' reviews point to the tomatoes' impeccable taste and versatility in cooking. The crop is easy to care for, and its characteristics include high yields and the ability to grow in any climate.

Elena Mikhailova, 51 years old, Kemerovo:

"This is the second year I've been planting the Briscolino hybrid in open ground. I train the bushes into three stems and tie them to a support. During the growing season, up to eight branches form, each holding up to 10 fruits. The bright red tomato clusters can be refrigerated for a long time. The fruits retain their shape well when canned."

Alexey Gavrilov, 60 years old, Perm:

"I've been growing tomatoes for many years, so I can say that following the instructions is the key to a high yield. To avoid the hassle of preparing the soil for seedlings, I use a ready-made mixture from the manufacturer. I treat the seeds with an aloe vera solution and sow them directly into individual trays. I pour the soil into the containers, press it firmly, and make a 1 cm deep hole in which I place two seeds. Once the first leaves appear, I don't transplant.

I consider maintaining the correct temperature and lighting conditions important. During cultivation, the soil should be moistened periodically. Watering can be done if the plant is a little weak in the morning. To promote healthy seedlings, I use supplemental lighting. Seedlings should be taken outdoors whenever possible.

After three weeks of growth, I transplant the seedlings into larger containers. I use peat pots; they're easy to use when transferring them to their permanent location. Throughout the entire growing period, I don't forget to fertilize them with complex mineral fertilizers.
