Vegetable growers note that Amur standard ripens well even in cool, humid climates. Due to its small stature, the branches don't need to be tied to supports. Farmers also note that the plant tolerates pricking well. It thrives during droughts. For normal growth, avoidance of frost and sudden temperature fluctuations is sufficient.

Due to the shallow roots, the Amur standard tree absorbs most of its nutrients and moisture into its stem. Bushes can be planted close together, which leads to increased yields.

Amur standard tomatoes can withstand long-distance transportation and remain fresh for 2-3 months. These tomatoes are used in salads and eaten fresh. Doctors recommend eating this variety to strengthen the immune system and liver; they can also be pickled.

Tomato growing technology

After purchasing the seeds, treat them with potassium permanganate. They can be planted in the garden only when the soil has warmed sufficiently by sunlight. Before then, the garden bed itself must be prepared. It is raised and widened, and arches are installed along the soil. The bottom is covered with any grass, and on top is placed humus mixed with ground ash.

Holes are made in a checkerboard pattern in the bed. 4-5 seeds should be placed every 0.3 m. They are then covered with a 12-15 mm layer of soil. The soil is watered with a warm solution of potassium permanganate. All the holes containing the seeds are covered with jars. A plastic cover is stretched over the previously laid arches, and then covered with soil to hold the plastic in place during windy weather.

The bed is opened only after the seeds have sprouted. When the tomato plants reach a height of 8-10 cm, no more than two seedlings are left in the hole. This planting method reduces the time required for tomato care. The plant bears fruit until frost sets in, and its stems and leaves are highly resistant to late blight.

This tomato is not susceptible to verticillium wilt or fungal infections. Watering the bushes is recommended only in extreme heat or drought.

If you regularly feed the bushes with complex fertilizers, you can increase the tomato yield by 1.5-2 times.

To protect tomato plants from garden pests, such as aphids or various insect caterpillars, spray the bushes with toxic chemicals. Slugs are killed by treating the soil beneath the bushes with ash flour.
