One of the best greenhouse varieties is the Blagovest tomato

Description

The Blagovest variety is a determinate plant of medium size. It can grow to a height of 1.5 to 1.7 meters and requires support. Each cluster can produce approximately 7-9 select fruits. They are smooth to the touch and slightly flattened. The fruits are typically bright red, weighing between 110 and 120 grams each. Tomatoes of this variety have 2-3 seed chambers. They can be eaten fresh from the bush or used for pickling and marinating.

When describing the tomato plant, it's worth noting that it has moderate branching and a moderate number of leaves. The leaves are small, gray-green, and have a beautiful glossy sheen. The first inflorescence usually appears above the sixth or seventh leaf, with subsequent inflorescences appearing one or two leaves apart.

Characteristic

The average greenhouse plant height is up to 150 cm. Fruits typically ripen 98–103 days after germination. Experts consider this variety to be early maturing. These vegetables have a wonderful flavor. Gardeners are also attracted by the variety's resistance to dangerous diseases such as cladosporiosis, tobacco mosaic, and others. This variety is rightfully recognized as very fruitful. Each bush yields approximately 5.5 kg of select vegetables per season. The fruits are easy to transport due to their firm flesh and can be stored fresh for a long time.

Seeds for seedlings should be sown in early March. Seedlings should be planted exclusively in a heated greenhouse after reaching 40 days of age. Greenhouse planting is determined based on the climate of the specific region. Planting in open ground is not recommended, as this will reduce the yield of the variety.

Keep in mind that you'll end up with a tall, spreading plant. The ideal planting density is no more than 3 plants per square meter.

The plant should be trained into a single stem, with the growing point being transferred to a lateral shoot. The top is pruned when the side shoot has four inflorescences. The bush stops growing when the first flowers are visible at the top.

Features of agricultural technology

Those who choose to grow this wonderful tomato variety in a greenhouse should be aware of the specifics of its agricultural technology.

The plant requires frequent watering. This should be especially generous during flowering and active fruit formation. Tomatoes should receive plenty of fluids, but infrequently. Ideally, watering should be done once every few weeks. After each watering, be sure to ventilate the greenhouse. Some gardeners prefer to leave the greenhouse door slightly open to allow air to circulate. Remember to close the door at night. Creating ventilation holes in the ends of the greenhouse is an excellent option. To prevent disease and pests, avoid overwatering or overheating tomatoes. After watering, it is recommended to loosen the soil to prevent a crust from forming on the surface. This should be done carefully to avoid damaging the roots, which are located close to the soil surface.

Agricultural technology for determinate vegetable varieties, which include Blagovest, involves the application of fertilizers.

Some experienced growers fertilize plants of this variety 2-3 times throughout the season. For this purpose, they use mineral fertilizers.

Some suggest applying liquid fertilizer every two weeks at a rate of 30 grams of concentrated fertilizer diluted in water per square meter. Another option is to apply double superphosphate three times, simultaneously with any potassium-containing fertilizer. Fertilizer should be applied only after the next watering.
