This variety has been very popular among gardeners throughout the country for quite a long time. Of course, this is no accident. Like any other culture, Demidov's tomato has a number pluses and cons. However, there are many more of the former.

• This variety of tomatoes feels good not only in greenhouses and greenhouses, but also in open areas, even without a film.
• The Demidov tomato variety is quite resistant to various weather conditions. He is able to grow and develop normally, as well as give his delicious large tomatoes even in not the most suitable climate conditions.
• On such plants, not too many branches are formed, this does not make the bush too dense. Thus, it becomes easier to care for such a culture.
• The Demidov tomato variety has a fairly strong immunity against major diseases and harmful insects.
• As for the yield of Demidov's tomato, it is at a good level. This variety is often used commercially and on an industrial scale. Yield figures may vary from region to region. So, for example, on the territory of the Volga-Vyatka region, you can get from one hundred fifty to three hundred centners per hectare. And in the conditions of the West Siberian region, it is possible to remove from two hundred to four hundred centners per hectare.
• Demidov tomatoes are quite large, which makes their appearance attractive to buyers.
• The fruits can be harvested even if they are not yet fully ripe. They can easily mature, lying on the window sill.
• Demidov tomatoes have high taste, they have excellent taste characteristics, the tomatoes are juicy and sweet.

Concerning disadvantages, then there are not so many of them as pluses.

• It is worth noting that if you do not follow the correct watering regime, then the tomatoes may begin to crack. As a rule, this happens if, after prolonged dry weather and lack of moisture, the plants are watered with too much water. Fruits rapidly absorb moisture. And the thin skin of the fruit does not withstand sudden stress. If precipitation falls at regular intervals, or watering is not carried out abruptly and in large quantities after a long break, then the fruit gradually accumulates moisture inside, and at the same time the area of ​​the fruit's skin grows. In this case, the tomatoes remain intact and intact.
• Among the shortcomings, gardeners also call too weak resistance to such an ailment as apical rot. This happens in the case of improper soil moisture. During too long dry weather, the root system of plants cannot take food from the soil for the rest of the bush. Therefore, tomato leaf plates begin to evaporate water quickly enough. At the same time, tomatoes, which are just beginning to set, partially "share" their moisture with the plant. Moisture is taken from the upper part of the fetus, where tissue death occurs. Thus, this spot on the tomato becomes too soft and starts to rot. And such weakened areas are breeding grounds for various fungal diseases. This problem occurs quite often, and not only with the Demidov variety.

How to grow properly

Demidov tomatoes can be grown successfully only with the help of seedlings. However, in a warm climate, Demidov tomato seeds can be sown directly into the ground. However, in such cases, it is better to choose the tomato varieties that perform best in the southern regions.

Seedlings are usually planted outdoors after the plants are fifty-five to sixty days old.Plants that have already formed inflorescences, as well as those with an open root system, do not have the best survival rate.

Tomato seeds Demidov must be sown in containers around the period from March to April. Do not forget about the timing of planting plants in a permanent habitat. In greenhouse conditions, seedlings are transferred on May days, and in open ground, plants can be transplanted in June.

As a rule, the first sprouts hatch after five to ten days. Until this moment, the air temperature should be about +25 degrees. After the plants have appeared, it must be lowered by 5-10 degrees. This is necessary so that the sprouts do not weaken due to too fast "pulling".

After about seven days, young plants already grow together in a container. And at this moment the temperature needs to be raised to about room temperature (about 23-25 ​​degrees).

For a plant to develop and grow normally, it needs a certain amount of light. Usually tomato seedlings are supplemented with the help of special phytolamps. If the containers with your seedlings are on the window, then turn them a couple of times a day. Watering young seedlings should be moderate. After the appearance of the second leaf, the seedlings dive.

The best option for placing seedlings is in separate cups. In this way, the root system of the plants will not be damaged too much during transplantation. And the survival rate of seedlings in a permanent place will be an order of magnitude higher.

If you grow Demidov tomatoes in an open area, then it is better to prepare a film shelter in advance. If there is a threat of cold temperatures, then this precaution will protect your plantings.

When planting Demidov tomatoes, a certain distance must be observed. There should be about fifty centimeters between the plants, and the row spacing should be about sixty centimeters. It is imperative to observe the irrigation regime, the soil should not remain dry.

Otherwise, there is a risk that cracking of the fruit and the formation of rot will begin. The water should be warm. It is most convenient to install a drip irrigation system, so water will not get on the leaves, and moisture will be distributed more evenly.

After the soil has been moistened, it is necessary to loosen it, and at the same time remove the weeds. In the first week, you need to huddle the plants. The next time this procedure is carried out in a couple of weeks. This measure promotes the formation of new roots.

With regard to making dressing, then they should be on a regular basis. For this, top dressing is used based on organic matter and mineral elements. You can, for example, prepare the following composition: liquid mullein (half a liter) + nitrophoska (twenty grams) + potassium sulfate (five grams) + superphosphate (thirty grams).

All these components must be diluted in ten liters of water. About a liter of such a product is consumed per plant. You can also feed tomatoes by foliar method. For this, summer residents use Gumfield, Megafol, SWIT.
