Modern science is rapidly moving forward. The genetics and breeding industry has been particularly successful in the race for supremacy. Scientists annually deduce thousands of new varieties of vegetables and fruits, which in their characteristics significantly exceed the originals, which makes them very popular among gardeners. The need to develop new varieties is primarily associated with constantly changing environmental conditions. Frequent, and, as a rule, unpredictable weather forces to find new ways to protect and fight for the harvest, comprehend new knowledge and invent new hybrids. A striking representative of the new generation tomato is the Liana variety.
Description
Tomato "Liana" is a representative of a determinant, early ripening, high-yielding variety. Bushes are small, reaching 50 cm in height. Due to its small size, the plant does not need a garter, which makes it much easier to grow.
Liana tomatoes are intended for growing both in the open field and in a greenhouse. With the first and second methods of cultivation, the result will be excellent.
The fruits of this variety are small, round in shape, have a bright red or pink color in the phase of biological maturity. The color of the tomato depends on the variety. The mass of one vegetable reaches 60-80 grams.
The pulp of a tomato is juicy, dense, enclosed in a skin of medium hardness.
In cooking, the fruits of the Liana tomato variety are used for making salads, ketchups, as well as for pickling and preparing preparations for the winter.
Advantages and disadvantages of the variety
Among the positive qualities of the "Liana" tomato are:
- unpretentiousness when growing;
- excellent taste characteristics;
- high productivity;
- early appearance of fruits and a long period of fruiting - up to the first frost;
- good resistance to most typical tomato diseases.
Some features of the variety, in order to obtain the maximum yield, are still worth considering for each gardener when growing. Do not forget that:
- a tomato of this type is thermophilic, therefore, the conditions of a harsh climate are completely unsuitable for it;
- the bush requires constant and regular pinching. Only if this condition is met, you can get a rich harvest of tomatoes.
Judging by the reviews of the majority of gardeners, the Liana tomato is not only a high-yielding variety, but also a rather stable variety. With long-term storage, ripe fruits do not lose their presentation and perfectly tolerate transportation even over long distances.
Abundant leaf cover requires regular removal of not only foliage, but also side shoots. All these inconveniences for a vegetable grower are fully compensated by a rich harvest.
Features of agricultural technology
Due to the fact that the plant is thermophilic, it should be grown in seedlings under certain climatic conditions. First, tomato seeds are planted in the ground for seedlings. After 2-2.5 months, the grown and strengthened bushes are planted in a greenhouse or in open ground.
Further care of the plant includes regular loosening of the soil, watering and timely pinching as the bush grows and the fruits ripen.
