Sevruga tomato

The problem with most famous tomatoes with good taste is that a large number of gardeners want to see these varieties on their plots, and often confusion occurs with the seeds of tomato species. Breeders with a bad conscience are burning with a great desire to quickly sell under the name of the famous variety something else that differs from the true one, in general, a fake. At times, not only seeds are confused, but also varietal names. This happened with our variety called "Sevruga". He is often called "Pudovik". But "Pudovik" appeared earlier than "Sevryuga", and has been in the state register since 2007. And the stellate sturgeon tomato is not included in the state register at all.

Scrupulous vegetable growers have already checked and rechecked these varieties a hundred times. They even grew them side by side in one place. And they concluded that these varieties are almost identical in all respects, and, therefore, this is one variety.

Someone thinks that the Sevryuga tomato variety = Pudovik, only more adapted to the northern and Siberian climate. From this assumption, the opinion was born that this is one species, which has 2 different names. Officially the variety is called "Pudovik", and among the people - "Sevryuga".

In this article, we will look at the characteristics of tomatoes grown under two names.

Tomato Pudovik Sevryuga, the twin brother of the Sevryuga variety, was bred by the famous scientists from Russia V. Dederko and O. Postnikova in 2005. The variety was recorded in the state register in 2007. Further, the variety began to spread throughout all Russian territories under two names.

It is an indeterminate, but here the opinions of gardeners differ. Someone says that the variety is semi-determinant, because one stem at some stage of development may stop growing.

For this reason, you need to carefully pinch the bush. It is recommended to leave, just in case, the strongest stepson who will undoubtedly continue to develop the plant. Otherwise, the yield of Sevruga tomato will be low.

There is also no information about the growth of the plant in the description, but there is also a divergence of opinions here. Someone bush grew up to 80 cm, it was grown in open beds. In other gardeners, the bush reached a height of 1.2-1.4 m, when grown in greenhouse conditions. Someone in general had the growth of the bushes 2.5 m. And this is all with the identical size, appearance, coloring of tomatoes.

But they all have one common conclusion: strong branching of the bushes. The stems are thin and frail, and for this reason they fall to the ground from the weight of their own weight. From this it follows that the plants must be tied up.

The inflorescence is a simple brush, the stalk is articulated.

Tomatoes ripen in the last days of July or August days. The variety is of medium ripeness, ripening period - 110-115 days after the emergence of seedlings.

The average yield is 15 kg / 1 m2. And if you follow competent agricultural techniques, then you can collect more fruits. Harvest per plant - 5 kg of tomatoes.

This species is resistant to bad weather moods, to dry periods, to excess moisture in the air, to a decrease in temperature conditions.

But in order to get the highest yield possible, it is recommended to give the tomatoes comfortable living conditions and take proper care of them.

The Sevruga tomato variety is immune to the most common nightshade diseases. Even beginners can grow it.

Vegetables are the main thing this variety can be proud of, because even with a slight disappointment in terms of seedlings, you will love this variety for giving you beautiful ripe tomatoes.

Characteristic features of the fruit.

Tomatoes in the shape of a heart or a flat circle. The surface is smooth or ribbed, but small dents are common.

• Unripe tomatoes are colored green. Ripened - in a raspberry-pink shade with a slight red overflow. It does not differ in brightness, but saturation is for sure.
• The inner content of the fruit is soft, fleshy, and has 4 chambers for seeds. The skin is moderately firm. The name "Sevryuga" was given to the variety for the reason that the cut tomatoes are similar to the flesh of this fish. Excess moisture can cause the fruit to crack, so be careful with over-watering.
• The fruits of this variety are very large. The average weight is 270-350 g, but there are also champions weighing up to 1.2-1.5 kg. Now it is clear why this variety has a second name "Pudovik".
• These tomatoes have delicious taste and a pleasant aroma. A variety of universal use. It is not very convenient to preserve whole, since the tomatoes are large. But salads and freshly squeezed tomato juices are amazing.
• Fruits are difficult to transport, storage is not long. Therefore, it is better to eat them and make preparations immediately or within 14-21 days after the harvest.

How to grow a tomato variety Pudovik

You can sow seeds for seedlings on March days 60-65 days before planting plants in open or closed ground. For the reason that the seeds may not sprout at the same time, it is necessary to put them in advance for soaking in solutions of growth stimulants ("Epin", "Zircon", "Immunocytofit") for 24 hours.

Seedlings of this variety are not famous for their strength and power, they grow more upward. Don't worry about it. Just give it as much light as possible, preferably from the sun. Place it in a cool place so that there is no strong pulling. Temperature conditions for growing seedlings - + 20 ... + 23 degrees, no more.

If you want to pinch the bushes as little as possible, leave 2 or 3 stems, then plant the bushes sparsely. Because in the future they can become thick and will not develop well. Therefore, 2-3 bushes must be planted on one square. If you form plants into 1 stem, then, of course, you can easily plant 4 bushes on one square.

The agricultural technology of the Pudovik variety is almost identical to caring for the rest of the tomato varieties. Just do not overfeed this species with mineral mixtures. Do not forget that the fruits can crack due to voluminous and stable watering.

It is better to mulch the bushes with dry grass or sawdust. This is the best option for preserving your strength and the appearance of the fruit. The tomato bears fruit several times. This means that you will harvest until the cold snap sets in.

Tomato Sevryuga (Pudovik): reviews of the variety

Margarita, 56 years old, Ryazan region: «I cultivated the "Sevryuga" variety in greenhouses. The bushes reached 1.2-1.3 m in height. But I liked the fruits, they turned out to be juicy, pleasant to the taste. They ripened for a long time, harvested from 3-4 bushes, and after 14 days harvested more. The last harvest was taken closer to frost. "

Vera, 33 years old, Irkutsk region: I fell in love with the Pudovik variety right away. But I will warn you: the bush may stop growing. Perhaps I had a case of just re-grading, since 2 out of 4 of my bushes stopped growing early enough. The tomatoes on them are ripe for nothing. But they did not differ in taste from the fruits from the rest of the bushes. "

Anatoly, 33 years old, Perm Territory: «I was not immediately lucky with "Sevryuga". I bought a package of seeds in a special store, but the result was not the same, it is not "Sevryuga"! But he still asked a neighbor for the seeds of the true variety, and everything went like clockwork. The fruits turned out to be large, plump, tasty. Didn't get sick with anything. Bushes should be tied to trellises regularly as they grow.They reach a height of about 1.5 m. The taste is excellent, sweet, I liked the tomato juice from the fruits. The harvest also arranged. Juice was consumed all last winter season. "

Valentina, 49 years old, Tambov region: “I sowed the seeds after March 8, as usual. The seedlings were not friendly. Because of this, the seedlings were of different sizes, elongated, somehow incomprehensible. The fruits began to ripen only by the 15th of August, but I was afraid of late blight and took them off in green. Tomatoes ripened in room conditions. The taste is not very pleased. Maybe because the tomatoes were ripening at home. But the fruits are really big, juicy, dense, sugar, but I did not notice a clear tomato taste and aroma ”.

The Sevryuga tomato variety is popular and loved by vegetable growers for its excellent taste, for generous harvests, for the large size of tomatoes, for being not capricious to care.
