Description of tomato Batyan
Description of the variety
The Batianya tomato variety was bred several years ago in Siberia. Specialists in breeders have created a special kind of tomato that can bear fruit, even in low temperature conditions. Has positive characteristics when planted in a greenhouse. If you plant it in warm areas, then its fertility only increases. Growing these tomatoes is not difficult. They are unpretentious, so they have the same planting rules as most other varieties of tomatoes.
The height of an indeterminate bush reaches several m. Most often, there are bushes that have a height of 1.5-2.3 m. For this reason, the bush should always be suspended. If you do not hang it, then due to its own weight, the bush will constantly fall to the ground and get injured. Pay attention to how many stems the bush has. It is believed that 1 stem does not yield as much yield as 2 stems.
If you carefully study the description, then the Batianya tomato variety is considered early maturing. After you have planted the seeds for seedlings, you can count down to about 100 days. It is after this period that it will be possible to harvest. Tomatoes ripen quite quickly and do not rot on the stem for a very long time. In addition, this type of vegetables is not subject to such complex diseases as late blight.
Description of the tomato fruit
The tomato has a heart shape and a rather long nose. If you plant seedlings in the garden, then the average weight of the fruit will reach 350 grams. If the crop is harvested in a greenhouse, then the weight of 1 tomato can reach 500 grams.
Batyan's tomatoes are characterized by a bright pink or raspberry color. These shades are very eye-catching. If you are wondering how much you can harvest, then the answer is unequivocal - quite a lot. If you believe the experts, then it is possible to collect about 6 kg of tomatoes from one bush. If no more than 3 bushes are planted per 1 m2, then you can harvest 18 kg.
The reviews of most gardeners say that the Batianya tomato has a pleasant bright color and retains its natural presentation for a long time. Even with long transportation, the tomato will not lose its appearance. The fruit is best used for making salads or tomato paste. It is not recommended to preserve them, as they are rather heavy and will not fit into the jar.
Advantages and disadvantages of the variety
The description of the advantages of this type of tomato can be listed endlessly:

Recommendations for preparing for disembarkation
If you read the reviews about the Batyan tomato of those people who planted such tomatoes, then you can highlight several main features.
- It all depends on the quality of the purchased seeds.
- Special attention should be paid to the soil in which the seedlings will be planted.
There are several main requirements for seeds. When buying seeds, pay attention to the information on the package. You should pay special attention to the characteristics of the variety itself. It is also important to consider the fact how many seeds are in the package. The fewer there are, the more likely it is that they will be of high quality. Pay attention to the percentage of seed germination. If you notice the figure of 100%, then it is better not to buy such a product. Reviews say that this is a trap or snag for the quick sale of products. If the product contains information that the seeds should not be processed before planting, then the seller has already done everything for you. If such information is not found, then a solution of manganese should be made, and the seeds should be processed.
It is also important to cultivate the soil. Make sure that there is drainage in the soil. This will allow the water to dissolve faster in the soil and not stagnate in one place. The ideal place for planting this type of product is the place where dill, parsley, zucchini or carrots were planted before. It is important to apply fertilizer to the soil to make it easier for the soil to cope with growing produce.
How to properly plant seedlings

It is necessary to take out the seedlings after the frosts have ceased to appear at night. The ideal temperature for this is considered to be about 18 ° C. You can harden seedlings.

Acquaintance with tomatoes of varieties "Daddy" and "Knyaginya"
WHAT TOMATOES TO CHOOSE? LARGE VARIETY OF FATHER. Review by Olga Chernova.
It is very important that the roots get used to the change in temperature. This will enable them to withstand the cold ground. The only whim of this variety is that it needs to be grown at a warm enough temperature. If there are frosts or low temperatures, then the cultivation will not be as productive as we would like. Fertilizer should be added before placing seedlings in the hole. You can use regular compound fertilizers or add egg shells. As soon as you notice the presence of yellow spots on the leaves, you need to transplant the seedlings into a much larger container. Most likely, she simply does not have enough space or oxygen.
Do not forget to constantly tie up the trunk of the plant and loosen the ground. Before constant warming occurs, it is necessary to water the plant with water at room temperature. Also, do not forget that you need regular feeding every month.
