Advantages and disadvantages
The plant is resistant to various diseases
If you study the description of the variety, you can highlight the following positive qualities of Bagheera tomatoes:
- versatility in use;
- high yield rates: from 1 sq. m collect about 10-12 kg of fruit;
- resistance to low temperatures;
- resistance to diseases and pests;
- ease of care.
Among the shortcomings, it is noted that the seed material cannot be used in subsequent plantings: it degenerates.
Growing rules
According to the characteristic, only the seedling planting method is permissible. The seeds go through all stages of processing before they get on the shelves, and therefore do not require special procedures just before planting. The seeds are placed in special containers to a depth of 3 cm. After that, each container is sprayed with water and placed in a warm room.
It is important that the containers receive plenty of natural light. As soon as small leaves began to form on the seedlings, it should be dived. After that, complex fertilizers are applied, which are sold in stores with seedlings.
Before planting in open ground, the seedlings are hardened: this reduces the risk of diseases. When planting in open ground, you should adhere to the 50 x 50 cm pattern.
Care
As the soil drains and only in the evening, watering is carried out: this minimizes the likelihood of a crust on the soil surface. At the same time, contact with leaves is avoided. To water only the root system, a drip irrigation system is used.
They also carry out timely loosening of the soil and removal of all weeds. This allows the root system to develop properly. Every few weeks, fertilizing is carried out using a complex of minerals. It is important that the complex includes potassium, phosphorus and nitrogen.
Prevention measures
The Bagheera tomato has good resistance to most common diseases. This does not mean that preventive methods can be neglected. Before planting seeds or seedlings, the soil is treated with a manganese solution: this allows you to kill all harmful substances. At first, the seedlings are sprayed with antifungal drugs.
To reduce the likelihood of root rot, it is important to adjust the irrigation system, do not forget about loosening the soil and remove all weeds. Also, a mulching system will help from rot, which consists in using straw with humus or peat compounds.
In the fight against parasites, a manganese solution comes to the rescue. They should spray all bushes. If slugs or Colorado beetles begin to appear, they are removed from the plants on their own. As a prophylaxis against such neighbors, they use "Regent" or "Araks".
Conclusion
Tomatoes of the Bagira F1 variety are suitable not only for use by professional agronomists, but also for beginners, because the variety does not require much effort in terms of care, while over and over again giving out high yields.
