Tomato trailing "Peardrops"
New
Trailing tomato "Peardrops".
The fruits have an excellent taste, for which children love them very much.
This early-ripening hybrid of trailing (ampelous) tomato was created specifically for growing in small-volume culture (pots, flowerpots, balcony boxes, or hanging planters).
The period from planting seedlings to ripening is 55 days. The plant forms a bush up to 25 cm high with hanging vines 40-45 cm long.
Fruits weighing 20-25 g, pear-shaped; as they ripen, the color changes from light green to bright yellow. The plant does not require shaping and tying, side and axillary shoots are not removed.
Used for fresh consumption and whole-fruit canning.

AGROTECHNICS.
Sow for seedlings in a moistened, disease- and pest-free, loose, breathable substrate (coconut or peat). Sow on the surface, sprinkling the crops with a layer of vermiculite, or bury to a depth of 0.5-1 cm. Spray the crops and cover with glass. At a temperature of +17+23°C, shoots usually appear in 5-9 days.
After emergence, the glass is removed, and the temperature balance is maintained within +18+22°C, while the soil should be moist but not waterlogged.
After the appearance of cotyledon leaves, gradually begin to reduce soil moisture for the successful formation of the root system. Seedlings are kept in the light, avoiding direct sunlight. In case of lack of lighting, use additional illumination (40-60 W/m²) to prevent seedlings from stretching.
One week after emergence, seedlings are fed with a solution of calcium nitrate (2.5 g/l).
1.5-2 weeks after germination, seedlings are pricked out, transplanting them one by one into a separate pot or planter with a diameter of 20-25 cm (volume 2.5-3 l) or into an intermediate 10 cm pot.
Further care of plants consists of timely feeding and watering. Watering begins no earlier than a week after planting the plant in a permanent place.
Feeding is carried out with a complete mineral fertilizer with microelements (N:K ratio – 1:2); in the first 2 feedings, 5 g of calcium nitrate is added to the base solution, alternating them with 2 feedings with the addition of 5 g of magnesium sulfate.
Then, 5 g of potassium sulfate and superphosphate are added to each feeding. Feeding is carried out immediately after watering. Over time, the feeding rate is gradually increased.
