Tomato Caspar

Tomatoes are planted by a huge number of vegetable growers. And a very small number of people do not plant and do not like this vegetable. Due to the different tastes of people, different varieties of tomatoes have been created. Some people prefer small and crunchy tomatoes, while others like large and fleshy tomatoes. Nowadays, there are a great many varieties for every taste. Hybrids are especially good because of their high yield and interesting taste. Tomato Kaspar f1 is no exception.

The history of the creation of the variety

Tomato Kaspar was created in Holland in a well-known company called Royal Slus. This company is very popular due to the quality of its products. This variety was not included in the State Register, but even without this it is popular among vegetable growers.

The Kaspar tomato variety can grow in different regions, both in the southern and northern regions. The only difference in cultivation is that in the southern regions the variety is grown outdoors, while in the northern regions it must be grown indoors.

I would like to say that the Kaspar tomato, a few years after its creation, was slightly improved and became known as Hypil. This variety became early ripening and changed its shape, which became similar to a pear. The rest of the qualities remained the same.

Russian breeders also slightly changed the Kaspar f1 variety. The breeder Anatoly Lukyanenko, together with the company, after research and experience, received a new hybrid, which is called the Caspar 2 tomato. This variety has already been entered in the State Register.

Planting seedlings

The Kaspar tomato variety is grown only as seedlings. Therefore, planting high-quality seedlings is important, as it is a guarantee that the bush will develop well and bring a large harvest. Sowing seedlings begins in early spring, or rather in the second half of March.

Sowing instructions for seedlings.

• First you need to prepare the seeds of the tomato Caspar f1, which will be planted in the ground. These seeds can be purchased at specialty stores. Such planting material will already be processed and disinfected.
• Seeds are planted dry without additional soaking.
• Sowing soil is taken from the garden plot. Before using it, you need to warm it up a little in the oven.
• Tomato seeds Kaspar f1 are sown in grooves, covered with earth and sprayed with warm water. Then they are covered with foil for 6 days.
• After the first shoots have appeared, certain criteria must be observed in the place where the seedlings will be stored. The temperature should be about +19 degrees at night and +23 degrees during the day. Good illumination is a must; if there is a lack of light, you can use a fluorescent lamp. Watering should be done 1-2 times a week. And during the development of seedlings, 2 fertilizers should be applied to the soil. Only mineral fertilizers and in small quantities should be applied.
• When two full leaves appear, the sprouts are transplanted into separate containers. Transplanting into separate containers stops the development of the sprout for 5-6 days. To prevent this from happening, the seeds can be sown separately at once.
• Before transplanting, in about 15 days, you need to start hardening the bush. For this, the plant must be taken out into fresh air every day. The time spent in the fresh air increases daily, from 40 minutes to 24 hours.

Transfer

After the soil warms up and the temperature in it becomes at least +17 degrees, you can transplant the plant into open or closed ground.

The place where the plant will grow must be prepared from the autumn period. The soil is fertilized by introducing humus and fertilizers containing phosphorus. Top dressing from nitrogen and potassium is applied in the spring, 20 days before transplanting.

Note: Nitrogen and potassium fertilizers will be washed out with water into the lower soil layer.

The planting of Caspar F1 tomatoes is carried out according to a special scheme. There should be 70 centimeters between the rows, and about 45 centimeters between the bushes. Before transplanting, 30 grams of humus and 2-3 grams of any mineral dressing, as well as 20 grams of wood ash, are placed in each hole.

All ingredients of the mixture must be well mixed with the soil. Before planting, you need to thoroughly shed the soil. This will prevent injury to the tomato root system.

Note: If it happens that the seedlings of the Caspar f1 tomatoes have become too large, you need to dig a groove instead of a hole. Also, for such seedlings, you need to remove 3 leaves at the bottom. And plant them to the north, guided by the crown.With such a planting, additional roots appear in the tomato root system, which will further strengthen it in the soil.

After transplanting, mulching should be carried out using straw, hay or cut dried grass. You also need to shade using arcs and placing on them, for example, Lutrasil. Lutrasil is a non-woven material; any other material will do instead.

It is necessary to water the plant only 8 days after transplanting. If the weather is hot, then watering is carried out after 5 days.

• Caspar tomatoes must be watered once every 7 days. But in dry and hot weather, it doubles.
• Fertilization must be carried out once every 14 days. They must be mineral or complex. It depends on how fertile the soil is.
• Passionking is carried out as needed. Anything below the first flower brush is removed. Grasshopping slightly lowers the level of the yield, but the fruits are larger.
• The lower leaves must be removed so that they do not interfere with the development of the fruit.
• If the Kaspar tomato is grown in the southern region, where the sun shines daily, the leaves are not touched, as they protect the stem from burns.
• Prophylaxis with the use of antifungal drugs should be carried out.

If the care is carried out completely and correctly, then the plant will bring a large and tasty harvest.
