Tomatoes "Bugai" red - a large hybrid that gives a rich harvest

Tomato Bugai red was given the name because of its corresponding size and appearance. It differs from other varieties in two features - high yield and huge fruits. Give him a place in the garden and success will be guaranteed. Breeders consider Bugai one of the most successful crossed tomatoes, and consumers only speak positively about him.

How to grow large and tasty tomatoes in your garden, you will learn further.

Characteristics and description of tomato varieties, yield indicators

The red Bugai appeared on the modern market recently. This big man was bred by Siberian breeders.

Tall bush, indeterminate type. Reaches 2 m in height. It has strong stems, therefore, the plant can withstand the stress of heavy fruits.

Fleshy, bright red tomatoes have a round but slightly flattened shape. The pulp is firm, juicy and sugary. The taste harmoniously combines sweetness with sourness. Tomatoes contain few seeds - this is a small disadvantage for those who collect seed on their own.

The main feature of the Bugai variety is the large size of the fruits.... When grown correctly, each tomato reaches an average of 600 g in weight, but can grow up to 1 kg. One bush gives up to 10 kg of harvest, and tomatoes with a total weight of up to 2 kg are placed on one brush. The first fruits ripen 110 days after germination.

On a note... To get large fruits, experts advise growing a crop in a greenhouse, since the size of tomatoes is smaller in the open field.

The tomato has gained popularity due to its high yield.

Brief description of sub-varieties

A variety of large tomato Bugai pink F1 is not much different from red. The tomato belongs to the indeterminate type. Its height is from 1.7 to 1.9 m. The plant has a strong stem. The tomato has many thin, light green leaves similar to potato leaves. Culture forms stepchildren. The fruit ripening time is average - 115-120 days.

On each inflorescence 3-5 tomatoes are tied. The fruits have an evenly colored deep pink color, without spots. A flat-round tomato with light ribbing. The pulp is pink, sugary. The taste is excellent.

For your information... The variety is grown both in open ground and in greenhouse conditions. However, it grows better and bears fruit for longer in a greenhouse.

Pros and cons of the variety

The fruits of the Red Bugai tomato reach impressive sizes and do not burst. Not every variety can boast of such a feature.

Other advantages of the view:

• the planted seeds sprout synchronously and in the same way, almost simultaneously, the fruits are formed and ripen during the growing period;
• the variety is resistant to pests and diseases;
• tomato fruits grow very large (on average - 500-600 g);
• Bugai red tomatoes bear fruit for a long time and give a bountiful harvest;
• excellent taste;
• the variety is unpretentious in care, the plant requires a minimum of attention during the growing season.

The vitamin variety has a high concentration of minerals useful for the body in its composition. It contains B-vitamins necessary for the normal functioning of the gastrointestinal tract, as well as vitamins A, E and C, each of which makes its own significant contribution to the functions of all organs and tissues.

Which variety is flawed? Although the crop requires minimal maintenance, it is worth taking the time to pinch and form the bush. Also, Bugai tomatoes (like many other varieties) need support and tying. This provides an aesthetically pleasing and neat appearance of the garden bed, as well as convenience when watering and harvesting.

In order for the fruits to reach large size during growth, they need reinforced feeding... A significant disadvantage of the variety is the high cost of seeds and the risk of acquiring a fake.

How to grow a tomato: technology

The new mid-season variety is able to withstand heat and cold without significant yield loss. The bush will grow in the open air, but it is better to plant it in a greenhouse. A detailed algorithm for growing tomatoes is discussed below.

Planting in soil

To get a high yield, you need healthy seedlings. Seeds are sown for seedlings 2-2.5 months before planting in a permanent place of growth. To do this, we fill the boxes with prepared soil, moisten with warm water and make grooves 1 cm deep.

Before placing in the ground, the seed is better treat with a weak solution of potassium permanganate (1 g per 100 ml of warm water) for fast germination and protection of plants from diseases. We put the prepared seeds into the ground to a depth of 1 cm, bury the grooves and cover the container with glass or film until the sprouts are pecked.

The optimum air temperature for seedlings is + 22 ... + 25 ° С. When shoots appear, we transfer the container to a well-lit place. With the appearance of 2 true leaves, we dive. This will require separate pots filled with substrate.

Seedlings can be grown without transplanting. For this, the seeds are sown in peat pots or tablets. When one flower cluster appears on the seedling, it is transplanted to a permanent place of growth along with the container in which it was grown.

On a note. When planting plants in the ground for 1 sq. m we have no more than 3 bushes.

At the time of planting in open ground or greenhouse, seedlings should have at least 5 formed leaves. For transplanting seedlings, holes are prepared in advance. We dig holes about 10 cm deep at a distance of about 0.5 m from each other. Put 20 g of wood ash on the bottom of the holes to disinfect the soil.

We place the seedlings in the hole and add them in such a way that the lowest leaf is near the ground. The stems should be slightly tilted - this is necessary for their further painless formation.

For the successful development of the plant and a good harvest, the bushes will need fertilizerb. But not all fertilizers are suitable for red Bugai tomatoes. We carry out this procedure as follows: at the flowering stage, we add a composition that includes potassium. As the fruit sets, we use a product containing phosphorus, nitrogen and potassium, all the ingredients are used in equal proportions.

When pouring and reddening the fruits, we change the proportions:

• reduce phosphorus in half;
• we increase the rate of potassium;
• we reduce the amount of nitrogen by more than half.

Potassium increases the resistance of tomatoes to disease development.

Formation and support of plants

A month after planting, remove the leaves in the lower area of ​​the bush. We carry out the formation carefully. Leaves located above 3 peduncles cannot be removed. In order not to harm the culture, the procedure is carried out in several stages. This minimizes stress on the plant. To make the fruit set better, shake the bushes in the morning.

We form the plants into one or two stems. For correct formation, we adhere to the following rules:

• we work with gloves;
• we do not break off very long and too short shoots;
• we break off the stepson at a distance of 1 cm from the stem;
• pinch the place of breaking off without leaving any "wounds".

For the active growth of the culture, we tie the bush to a peg, otherwise it will break from the large weight of the fruit. You can tie the plant to a stretched wire. We do this in the following way:

• on the sides and between the rows we drive in several pegs;
• we pull on a strong wire;
• as it grows, we raise the bush and tie it up, we do this in two stems.

To get large fruits, do not forget to pay attention to the number of brushes. If a lot of ovaries form on the hand, it is also better to tie it up so that it does not break off or get damaged.

Prevention of diseases and pests

Indeterminate plants are resistant to most diseases. They are not afraid of bacterial and viral infections, mosaic, dumbness.

But there are diseases that can destroy the entire plant. The Bugai variety most often suffers from fungal infections - Alternaria and late blight.

Late blight manifests itself as brown spots on the leaves, which gradually move to the stem and fruits. The main thing is to notice them in time and immediately eliminate them.... To prevent infection, the bushes are processed special solutions... We start processing when 4-6 leaves appear.

Re-processing is carried out in a week, and the last one - 5 days before harvest.

To prevent fungal diseases, experienced summer residents are advised to use home remedies:

1. Add 1 cup of lime and 1 spoonful of copper sulfate to a bucket of water (10 l). Stir the contents and let it brew for 1-2 hours. Then we remove the damaged leaves and process the bushes with the prepared mixture.
2. Also, a soap solution is effective for late blight. Rub 200 g of laundry soap into 10 liters of water and add 1 tablespoon of soda ash. Mix well. We remove the affected areas and spray the plant with the resulting solution.
3. Dissolve 2 g of potassium permanganate in a bucket of hot water, chop and add the head of garlic to the solution. Stir, let cool and water the beds. The mixture fights well against fungi.

Such remedies are also effective for alternaria, because this is also a fungal disease. It manifests itself in almost the same symptoms as late blight, but the spots have a brighter color and quickly spread throughout the plant. If the disease affects half of the bush, the plant must be completely removed.

Reviews of gardeners

The opinions of experienced agronomists and novice summer residents on the account of Bugai red tomatoes mostly agree that the variety is worthy of attention. Here are the reviews of some gardeners.

Vyacheslav, Voronezh: “Once I bought Bugai tomato seeds. I planted it, the bush grew powerful, but not much foliage was formed. I formed a bush into two stems, brushes took up very well. The fruits are large and almost perfectly shaped. The tomato tastes sweet and sour, fleshy and juicy. But I must warn you that this variety needs abundant feeding, especially potassium and phosphorus. I grew bushes in two greenhouses, did not calculate the top dressing and deprived one bush. Therefore, an uncharacteristic spot formed near the stalk of the plant, and the fruits themselves grew with veins. I picked these tomatoes both ripe and green, they ripened perfectly. The whole family ate a tomato fresh. I didn’t dare to make blanks with them, as the tomatoes were too big ”.

Alexander, Samara: “I am an experienced gardener. I really like to grow the F1 Bugay tomato for its large size, high yield and great taste. My whole family loves the juice and salads made from these fruits. Bugai has a peculiar taste. The cultivation process can hardly be called complicated: Bugai requires attention no less than other crops. As more experienced summer residents advised me, when forming bushes, it is advisable to rinse your hands in a slightly borosy solution of manganese. This technique will prevent possible plant contamination. So that the plant's immunity to late blight does not decrease in the process of leaving, it is not worth cutting off the stepsons close to the stem. You need to leave at least 8 cm of the shoot on the stem. "

Valentine, Oryol: “I have been planting the Bugai tomato for the third year already. The first time I planted the culture immediately in open ground, but the result in the end did not suit me at all. Tomatoes were not as large and ripe as in the photo of the package with seeds.A tall bush needs a garter, otherwise the tomatoes will be on the ground. That year I planted it in a greenhouse. As advised, he tied up, watered on time, applied top dressing. In the end, my efforts paid off. The neighbors could not believe that I had grown this beauty myself. I liked the variety. I will continue to grow. "

Conclusion

Red Bugai has become popular among consumers in a short time. Experienced summer residents and novice gardeners speak only positively about him. Gardeners note that tomatoes can grow up to 800-1000 g each. At the same time, the germination capacity of the crop is high, as is, in fact, the yield. The tomatoes themselves grow large and fleshy, with a pleasant, rich sweet and sour taste.
