Every tomato grower knows what requirements a versatile variety must meet. The main advantage of this vegetable is good yield, taste and ease of care.
The Buyan tomato includes all these factors.
For the first time "Buyan" was launched in Siberia in 2012 and is perfect for such a cool climate. There are two varieties of this variety: "Red Buyan" and "Yellow Buyan". They differ slightly in the shape of the fruit, but generally have the same properties. In the photo you can see both those and other tomatoes.
Variety characteristics
Buyan tomatoes can be attributed to early ripening varieties, since only about 100 days pass from germination of seedlings to ripening of the first tomatoes. The peculiarity of the tomato is that it is a bushy plant, determinant, and not tall, as we are used to. Its height can reach up to 50 cm. The number of leaves is average. Inflorescences are formed every 2 leaves.
Leaving does not take a lot of time and effort.
The tomato is suitable for both open ground and greenhouses. It tolerates any weather conditions very well: cold and drought. It has an average disease resistance to bacteria, and does not lend itself to tobacco mosaic viruses.
Fruiting very generously: from 1 m2 about 25 kg of tomato can be harvested. Cylindrical tomatoes resemble plums. The skin is smooth and shiny. Unripe fruits are green with dark spots, ripe fruits are deep red. The first tomatoes are always slightly larger, but on average weigh about 70 g. The number of seeds is very small, 4–5 seed chambers per tomato. It tastes sweet but slightly sour, which is ideal for tomatoes. It is a pity that the photo does not convey taste and smell, but we can see in the context of how meaty and juicy they are.
This tomato variety is perfect for pickling, as the skin of the tomato is strong and will not crack. It can also be eaten fresh, stewed and dried. Suitable for freezing. But to keep the Buyan tomato for the winter fresh will not work.
So, the description of the "Buyan" variety showed that this is an almost perfect tomato. The variety does not require much attention to itself, does not need cutting of leaves and garters, which is very surprising for such high-yielding tomatoes. It easily tolerates temperature changes and ripens very quickly.
With modern technology, you don't have to worry about this, because when frozen, the taste of fresh tomatoes is practically not lost.
Growing
This variety is sown in March. The seeds must be placed in the soil to a depth of about 2 cm. It is very easy to do it this way: seeds are sown on the compacted soil, sprinkled with a thin layer of soil mixed with peat on top. You can water the seedlings through a sieve or spray bottle. The boxes are covered with foil and stored in a warm place. When the tomatoes sprout, the film is removed, and the seedlings are placed in a place with good sunlight.
The pick should be started after the appearance of 1-2 full-fledged leaves. It is advisable to feed the sprouts at least 2-3 times before planting. We begin to harden when there is a week left before disembarkation. After the frost is over, we begin to plant it in the ground. At 1m2 the ideal density would be about 8-9 bushes.
Do not forget about feeding and loosening.Before flowering, it is advised to feed the tomatoes with mineral fertilizers. And after the first fruits have appeared, the plant needs potassium.
Diseases and pests
The "Buyan" variety staunchly fights against many diseases. This is facilitated by proper plant care. When all the rules and recommendations for care are followed, tomatoes are not afraid of any pests and diseases. But of course, it is simply impossible to protect the plant from everything. It happens that green spots appear on the fruits. This is normal for this variety. The spots disappear when the fruit is fully ripe. In addition, cracks can form. There may be several reasons:
- too wet soil (you may need to water the plants less often);
- excess complementary foods;
- a large number of fruits on the bush;
- insufficient light.
For prevention, it is necessary to treat plants from late blight. These rules must be observed when growing all varieties of tomatoes, but it is the "Fighter" who will please the owners with a bountiful harvest before anyone else.
Testimonials
Let's summarize
The description of this variety is fully true. Tomatoes are really unpretentious and high-yielding. According to experienced gardeners, the Buyan variety is ideal for cold climates. The housewives who tried to grow it were very pleased.
dropped Buyan into the ground too early and frosts hit. The seedlings froze, but I felt sorry for pulling them out and I decided to leave it at random. To my surprise, the seedlings gave new shoots and the harvest was very good.
I grow Buyan every year. Great tomato. Does not stretch in seedlings. The bushes are compact. It is convenient to look after. There are many fruits. The former are larger, the latter are smaller - just for blanks in cans. I recommend. You will not regret.
I love this variety. A few years ago, Buyan came to me, since then I have not parted with him, a win-win sort.
Hello! Planting, of course. Buyan belongs to undersized varieties and therefore a seedling height of 10 cm is good for this particular variety.
My tomato seedlings Buyan are lagging behind in growth. The other is 20 cm. And the Buyan is only 10. I'm thinking whether it is worth planting it or throwing it away?
