Pros and cons of the hybrid tomato variety Bugai

Description of the hybrid variety
The Bugai tomato variety is considered a large-fruited, mid-season variety. It was developed by Siberian breeders relatively recently, making it considered a modern variety. The bush grows to approximately 180 centimeters in height. The berries are round, slightly flattened, and bright pink or crimson in color. The flesh is very juicy and sweet, with a small number of seeds.
Once the seedlings have sprouted, it takes 115 days for the tomato to fully ripen, with the net weight of one berry being approximately 800–1,000 g. The total yield of this bush for the entire season is approximately 6 kg. It can be grown outdoors, but greenhouse conditions are more suitable. The flavor of the Bugay variety is ideal for juices and purees, salads, and any dish with this tomato will acquire a fresh, refined, and harmonious flavor.
Seedlings are sold in stores, but since growing them yourself is simple, many prefer to do it at home. Start sowing seeds 60-70 days before planting, maintaining a strict temperature regime of 23-25 degrees Celsius. Seeds are available in specialty stores, where two varieties of Bugai are available in packages: pink and red. There isn't much difference between the varieties, but you can always ask a consultant for more information.
Pros and cons
One of the plant's positive aspects is its abundant fruit production. A single branch can produce so many ovaries that side shoots need to be removed. Tomatoes are also prized for their well-balanced acid and sugar levels. They are also easy on nutrients and respond well to abundant watering. Although the berries reach quite impressive sizes, they never crack.
Unfortunately, this tomato variety requires ample micronutrient and fertilizer supplementation throughout the ripening period. It's highly susceptible to insect attacks and also requires protection from late blight, so treatment with "Ordan" is an essential part of its care.
The Bugai tomato is quite picky about soil conditions and reacts poorly to a lack of potassium and boron. Because tomato plants grow quite tall, they require regular support. The plant also requires a specific temperature regime – this should never be neglected, as newly formed buds will begin to fall off.
