The Verlioka F1 tomato is a hybrid. That is, collecting seeds to plant them next year is useless. You will have to buy new ones in the store every year. But since the variety is very good and has its fans, buying seeds is not a problem for them.

Breeding a new variety, breeders set themselves certain tasks. And they are trying to reach them. In the case of the Verliok F1 tomatoes, they succeeded. And tomatoes of the Verlioka variety, based on the reviews of gardeners, really correspond to the declared qualities. That is, they have an excellent yield. Do not suffer from traditional "tomato" diseases. They do not tolerate very large temperature drops. They also ripen early. The fruits of this variety are very tasty. They have a beautiful presentation.

It is possible to grow a tomato Verlioka F1 in open ground in the south of our country. In other areas, planting in a greenhouse is recommended. Or under a film shelter. Bushes grow tall. Their growth can be from 1.5 to 2 m. The foliage grows slowly. The leaves are not large and there are few of them. The Verlioka tomato can be classified as an early ripening variety. Because you can try the first fruits in 3.5 months (or maybe a little earlier) after the shoots appear.

Verliok's tomatoes form ovaries very amicably. They also ripen at the same time. Which is undoubtedly convenient when harvesting. The fruits do not vary much in size. That is why they are so good for conservation. As a rule, 5-10 tomatoes are located on one branch. Fruits are bright red in color, round in shape. With a fairly dense skin. It is due to this density that Verliok F1 tomatoes rarely crack while ripening. The taste of tomatoes is rather sweet, with a slight sourness.

The tomatoes themselves of the Verlioka F1 variety are not very large, as a rule, from 70 to 100 g. If all the rules of agricultural technology are observed, 5-7 kg of tomatoes can be harvested from one bush (in a greenhouse). This means that from each square meter you will collect more than 20 kg.

Another wonderful quality is that plucked green tomatoes ripen quite quickly at home in the shade. Experience shows that not every variety has this quality.

So, among the undoubted advantages are the following qualities:

• early ripening of fruits;
• good productivity of Verliok tomatoes;
• a large number of ovaries on one plant;
• lack of response to small changes in temperature;
• immunity to "tomato" diseases;
• friendly education and ripening of fruits;
• the ability to grow in light shade;
• universal use in cooking;
• the ability of tomatoes to reach maturity after being removed from the bush.

Cons of tomato Verliok

But you can also highlight a number of "minuses" inherent in Verliok's tomatoes. And, to be honest, they also need to be listed.

• The Verlioka F1 tomato is picky about the composition of the soil. Controversial "minus". Because all tomatoes place high demands on the soil.
• You will need to engage in the formation of a bush in order to increase the amount of the crop. Also a controversial drawback. Because there are much fewer varieties that do not require formation.
• Verliok's tomatoes are kept fresh for a short time. It is advisable to eat or process them as soon as possible. At the same time, green fruits collected for ripening do not deteriorate. And also perfectly tolerate transportation.

So, as you can see, there are drawbacks. But the number of merits definitely outweighs.

Verlioka tomato: cultivation of a variety

Preparing Verlioka Tomato Seeds

The Verlioka tomato is a hybrid variety, as a rule, intended for planting in a greenhouse. This means that it will be possible to land it in a permanent place already in mid-May. Therefore, sowing for seedlings should be carried out in mid-March. In extreme cases - in the second half of March. It is better to purchase seeds just before planting. The seeds that you have left from last year may not sprout.

To act with confidence and not wait for seedlings where they cannot be, sort the seeds. Dip them into the water and boldly discard those that float to the surface. Because these seeds are definitely empty. But those that drowned, dry them. And then soak again. This time in a growth stimulator. This will not only speed up their germination. But it will also give future plants additional immunity.

You also need to prepare the ground. Do not complicate your life and do not undertake to mix soil from different components. Regular seedling soil, sold in the spring at any farming department or flower shop, is fine. Such soil is rich in essential trace elements. Seedlings are quite enough for the first time. The only thing that needs to be done is to disinfect the soil by spilling it with potassium permanganate. Or by roasting in the oven. Or by steaming over boiling water.

Growing Verlioka tomato seedlings

Important! When planting Verlioka tomatoes on the bottom of a common container and individual containers (where the plants will go after a pick), do not forget to lay drainage. The layer can be minimal, but it must be required.

In the moistened soil, deepen the seeds of the Verlioka tomato F1, no more than 1.5 cm.And cover the container with cling film. Until the moment of germination and emergence of seedlings, it is necessary to maintain the temperature in the region of +25 degrees. When the sprouts appear on the surface, the shelter can be removed. The container must be rearranged to the brightest place. But the temperature must be lowered by a few degrees.

A decrease in temperature slows down the growth of seedlings. Which gives her the opportunity to get stronger before reaching up. The plants will then be stronger and less fragile. Verlioka tomatoes need a fairly long daylight hours, from 10 to 12 hours. So if there is not enough sunlight, take care to provide additional lighting. For this purpose, you can use special phytolamps. As well as fluorescent lamps.

Secrets of picking Verliok tomato seedlings

As with all other varieties, picking can be carried out when the second leaf appears. This must be done very carefully so as not to damage the roots of the plant.
About a month after planting the seeds, you can feed the seedlings. Use an ash solution for this. Or a nutrient solution with the addition of potash and phosphorus fertilizers.

You can only water Verlioka tomatoes with warm water. Because plants perceive cold moisture as frost. And they slow down growth. Watering is carried out as the soil dries up. You don't need to do this too often. Especially at first. Because with waterlogging there is a risk of the appearance of a formidable disease of seedlings - "black leg".

10-14 days before the planned transplantation into the greenhouse, the seedlings must be hardened by taking them outside. Tomatoes need to get used to the temperature difference. To do this, constantly increase the time you stay in the air.If you have a glazed balcony, then for the last few days you can completely relocate them there.

Preparing a place for seedlings

Also at this time it is necessary to prepare a place in the greenhouse for Verliok F1 tomatoes. Dig deep into the soil, add ash and humus, and dig again. Your task is not only to enrich the soil with useful substances, but also to achieve looseness and lightness of the soil. For this, if necessary, you can add sand.

After the temperature at night stabilizes above zero, and the earth warms up to + 14 ... + 16 degrees, you can transplant the tomatoes into the greenhouse. The distance between the tomato bushes should be 40-50 cm, if you place them closer, then the plants will lack nutrients and the harvest will be rather scarce.

Watering Verliok's tomatoes in a greenhouse is enough once every 5-7 days, as well as seedlings - with warm water. Do not overmoisten the soil, this will not benefit the tomatoes, rather, on the contrary, it will create a suitable environment for the development of pathogenic bacteria.

Remember to ventilate the greenhouse daily to help regulate the temperature and humidity levels, as well as provide access to flowers for bees and bumblebees, which is necessary for the formation of ovaries.

At the stage of planting seedlings, install supports to which you will tie the bushes in the future. Without this, tomatoes one and a half meters high will easily break under the weight of the fruit.
After the first flowers appear, it is necessary to remove nitrogen from the complex feeding, leaving only potassium and phosphorus. Additionally, you can spray the plants with a boric acid solution, as boron promotes better and greater formation of ovaries.

So basically, caring for tomatoes of the Verlioka F1 variety is no different from the usual agricultural technology - watering, weeding, feeding and harvesting.

Prevention of diseases and pests

As we have already said, the Verlioka F1 tomato has excellent immunity characteristic of hybrids and is able to withstand the main "tomato" diseases: late blight, fusarium, cladosporium and mazaike. But this does not mean that you can not take care of tomatoes. When a manufacturer talks about disease resistance, it means that you will take care of the plants and create a comfortable environment for them:

• watering carefully, make sure that the water does not erode the soil at the base of the stem;
• loosen and weed, this is the key to success;
• remove weeds from the greenhouse;
• remove stepchildren and yellowing or drying leaves in time;
• ventilate!

If you follow these simple rules, your Verliok tomatoes will be in perfect order and the harvest will not keep you waiting.

Culinary destination

Verlioka F1 tomatoes can be called universal, since there is no tomato dish for which they would not be suitable.

They are delicious fresh without additional processing - directly from a bush or in a salad. They can be salted and pickled - due to the fact that the fruits are practically the same size, they look good in a jar and are evenly salted. And the dense skin does not burst when boiling water enters, therefore, the beautiful appearance is not disturbed.

The pulp of Verlioka tomatoes is very juicy, so you can make tomato paste or juice, ketchup, all kinds of sauces, lecho and other preparations. Also, these tomatoes can be frozen and dried. Given the high yield, if you wish, you can stock up on tomatoes in different varieties until next summer.

We planted Verliok's tomatoes as an experiment five years ago, since then we have been trying to plant 6 bushes every year. An excellent variety for homemade preparations - we freeze it, salt it and make a sauce, enough for the whole winter. The bushes never hurt, and this is very important.

Elena, Voronezh.

I planted Verliok's tomatoes for the first year and I will probably stop there - tomatoes are like tomatoes, nothing special. In my opinion, watery. Although the harvest was good, I will try something different next time.
