Tomato Brown sugar: characteristics and description of the variety

What should be the best tomatoes

The requirements of the farmer for self-planted tomatoes are increased. Here the usual taste is not enough. The tomato should be such that salivation flows from one appearance.

Sugar on a break, with a large amount of dry substances that give a rich taste, the tomato just asks for the table. This is exactly what all the tomatoes of the "sugar" series from the CEDEK company are. Bred at different times, they differ not only in color, but also in maturity. One thing is invariable: the rich, sweet taste of the vegetable. Tomatoes of the "sugar" series belong to the steak group and have all the advantages of beef tomatoes:

• rather big size;
• a large number of seed chambers;
• rich taste, dominated by sugars;
• good yield;
• disease resistance of tomatoes.

Let's talk in more detail about one of the representatives of sweet tomatoes - brown sugar tomato. This tomato stands out from the whole series not only for its unique color, but also for the content of a large amount of anthocyanins. Such a vegetable has special benefits for the body. We will compose a detailed description and characteristics of a brown sugar tomato and admire its photo.

Tomato Brown sugar produced by the CEDEK company. It was registered in the State Register of Breeding Achievements in 2009, like other tomatoes in this line of varieties: White Sugar and Red Sugar. In 2010, Pink Sugar was added to them, and in 2020 - Raspberry Sugar F1. These tomatoes can be grown in all climatic zones of our country.

Features of the variety:

• it belongs to indeterminants and does not stop its growing season as long as the weather conditions allow, the gardener will have to make sure that all the tomatoes that have set ripen;
• the originators position this variety as mid-season, but, according to the reviews of those who planted it, it is rather mid-late, since the first fruits ripen only 4 months after germination;
• it is possible to grow a brown sugar tomato variety in the open field, but it works better in a greenhouse;
• with greenhouse cultivation, tomato brown sugar can grow up to 2 m, and with good care, up to 2.5 m, so a garter is required. This tomato variety shows the best results when dribbling in 2 stalks, so pinching for it is a mandatory procedure.
• the tomato brush is simple, up to 5 fruits are tied in it, the first inflorescence is laid under 8 or 9 leaves;
• the fruits of this variety can have both a cuboid and a flat-round shape, the color of the tomatoes is very beautiful - reddish-brown, the weight of each fruit reaches 150 g in the first cluster, on the rest - they are slightly less;
• the purpose of tomatoes is universal: they are good in salads, for making sauces, juices and any preparations for the winter;
• fruits have many seed chambers and, as a result, more tasty pulp and few seeds.

Important! Unlike many beef tomatoes, brown sugar tomatoes store well and can be transported.

To give a complete picture of the plant and finish the description of the brown sugar tomato variety, it must be said that it is cold-resistant, ripens almost to frost, giving a good yield - from 6 to 8 kg per sq. m.

Main advantages

Now let's talk about the main advantages inherent in the brown sugar tomato variety.

One of the main ones is high yield and excellent taste, as already mentioned above.

However, there are others. For example, cold resistance. The plant tolerates low temperatures without harm, which are usually destroyed by other varieties of tomatoes. No wonder - Brown sugar was developed in Russia and adapted to the harsh climate.

It is also worth noting the resistance to the most common diseases, which often leave even experienced summer residents without a tomato crop.

Many people also like its unusual color - not a simple shade of pink, red or orange, but a sophisticated dark red with almost black veins and the same dark flesh. To judge the appearance of a tomato Brown sugar, the photos attached to the article will allow.

The variety has practically no drawbacks. Perhaps the only one is a significant ripening period. Still, few of our compatriots decide to deal with late-ripening varieties that allow you to get a harvest only four months after planting.

Agrotechnics of tomato

Tomato seeds Brown sugar can be bought in almost any store, but collected from plants grown in their own garden, they will already be adapted to certain growing conditions, the main of which is the composition and structure of the soil. Grown from their own seeds, the plants will develop better and give a consistently high yield, they resist diseases well, and finally, the germination rate of such seeds, in contrast to store seeds, is much higher.

Tomato is an optionally pollinated plant, that is, only flowers growing nearby are pollinated with pollen. But in hot weather, the situation changes, and neighboring plants can also become dusty. Often, gardeners grow different varieties of tomatoes in a close neighborhood, so as not to collect seeds from a tomato, which is also pollinated by another variety, that is, a hybrid, you need to adhere to the following rules:

• choose a strong tomato plant Brown sugar that fully meets the varietal characteristics in advance and take good care of it;
• choose a fruit from the lower brush for seeds that most closely matches the varietal description; the flowers on the remaining flower brushes have a high probability of cross-pollination, since they bloom at a time when bees and bumblebees are most active, and no one will prevent them from flying into the greenhouse;
• the fruit is plucked in full ripeness or slightly unripe, but by no means overripe - the strongest seeds in it can germinate, and as a result, weak offspring will turn out.

Important! Never choose the largest fruit for seed propagation, it should be of the size and weight that best matches the varietal characteristics.

The isolated and dried seeds must be sown on seedlings. In a tomato variety Sugar, brown seedlings at the time of planting should be 60 days old. For planting in greenhouses under polycarbonate, seeds should be sown at the end of February, in film greenhouses - at the beginning of March, and for open ground - closer to its end.

Rules for getting good seedlings

For tall varieties of tomatoes, including brown sugar, it is very important that the seedlings do not stretch out, otherwise it will affect the yield. To prevent this from happening, you must strictly adhere to the following rules:

• complete processing and germination of seeds - dressing, soaking in a solution of a biostimulator;
• sow seeds in fertile loose soil, similar in composition to the soil in your garden;
• reduce the temperature for emerging seedlings for several days, it should not be higher than 16 degrees during the day;
• provide tomatoes with the maximum amount of light for the entire growing period;
• a week after germination, raise the temperature and maintain it within 23 degrees during the day and a little cooler at night;
• do not water too often, but also do not let the soil dry out completely;
• open the sprouts when they are just about to release the third leaf;
• do not give brown sugar tomato plants to starve and provide 2 or 3 additional fertilizing using a weak solution of complete mineral fertilizer;
• keep warm not only the "head", but also the "legs" of the tomatoes; for this, insulate the windowsill so that the soil temperature is not lower than room temperature;
• keep some distance between the tomato pots. Competing for light, the seedlings will inevitably stretch out.
• acclimatize the plants to the open air gradually so that they are acclimatized by the time of disembarkation.

Leaving after disembarkation

The soil in the beds and in the greenhouse is prepared in the fall. Organic matter is introduced, but not fresh manure, from which tomatoes fatten and grow tops instead of fruits. Phosphorus fertilizers are also supposed to be applied in the fall, poorly soluble, they will be converted into a form convenient for plants with melt water. But nitrogen and potash fertilizers are applied during spring loosening of the soil.

Important! For dark-colored tomatoes, the acidity of the soil is of great importance. If tomatoes of ordinary varieties put up with a slightly acidic reaction, then for brown sugar it should be neutral, otherwise the dark color of the fruit may not be obtained.

Acidic soils need to be limed. This is done in the fall, but not simultaneously with the introduction of organic matter, otherwise it will lose a lot of nitrogen.

Planting scheme for tomato plants Brown sugar - from 40 to 50 cm between plants and about 50 cm between rows. The soil under the tomatoes planted in the greenhouse must be immediately mulched to ensure a comfortable existence for them.

Further care includes the following:

• moderate watering before pouring the fruits - once a week, but with complete moistening of the entire root layer; when the fruits begin to pour, the frequency of watering increases up to 2 times a week. In order for the dry matter content in the fruits of tomato brown sugar to remain high, it is impossible to be zealous with watering, otherwise they will become watery and greatly lose their taste.
• top dressing with full complex fertilizer intended for tomatoes; their frequency depends on the fertility of the soil in the greenhouse, usually the plants are fed once every 10-14 days;
• the formation of plants in 2 stems; for this, all stepchildren are removed, except for one located under the first flower brush - a second shoot is formed from it;
• preventive treatments for late blight.

They are selected and disinfected by soaking for 20-30 minutes in a weak solution of potassium permanganate. Then they rinse and soak for the same period in a solution of a growth stimulator - "Epin" or honey diluted in water.

The soil is prepared from soil from the garden, mixed with peat, sand and wood ash. Seeds are sown at the end of February, if growing in a polycarbonate greenhouse is planned, for ordinary film shelters - in March, for open ground - at the end of March or early April.

The seed is buried no more than 2 cm and germinated at a temperature of + 23-25. When shoots appear, the temperature is lowered to + 16-18, and the containers are rearranged on a well-lit windowsill. If there is little daylight, they are supplemented with lamps.

A week after germination, the temperature is again raised to +23. Saplings dive after the appearance of two leaves.

For picking, you need containers with a volume of 500 ml, peat pots are best.

Seedlings are fed two to three times during the growth period. They are planted in pre-prepared soil. It should be neutral in acidity - the variety reacts poorly even to slightly acidic soils. Reduce acidity by liming, but not simultaneously with humus fertilization.

Low whimsical bushes Rating: 3

Tomatoes are not for everyone, for a black variety, an option is not bad, but I would not plant in large quantities. Fresh tomatoes are edible, slightly sweet, depending on watering, they can be slightly watery and insipid. They are not suitable for preservation - in salting, the fruits soften, become mushy inside, the skin bursts quickly. In addition to color, there is nothing unusual in tomatoes, as they ripen, they become brown, the color is usually uneven, they can ripen in a torn form (not for long). Tomatoes weigh from 100-115 grams, but sometimes less. The bushes can only grow in a greenhouse, as they are very susceptible to diseases that arise due to temperature changes, and they get sick stably in closed ground, it was necessary to constantly ventilate the greenhouse.The bushes grew low - literally 100 cm each, I did not tie them up, since the stems were strong enough, and there were no problems with the formation. The yield is average, due to the fact that the plants were constantly sick, the harvest was not very good - I collected about 20 tomatoes from one bush, fruiting was amicable, the tomatoes sang at the same time, the largest were on the lower branches.

Agrotechnics of growing tomato

To grow a high yield, you need to take care of the seedlings. Sowing seeds on seedlings is carried out 60-70 days before planting in a permanent place in open ground or a greenhouse.

Before laying the seeds, it is recommended to treat it with a solution of aloe or potassium permanganate.To speed up the germination process, strengthen the plants and improve the formation of peduncles, you can use a growth stimulant.

In a container with a prepared soil mixture, seeds are sown to a depth of 1-1.5 cm, watered with water using a sprayer. The container is covered with foil until the sprouts appear.

For friendly germination of seeds, it is necessary to provide a suitable temperature at the level of + 23 ... + 25 ° C. The same conditions ensure the normal development of culture and abundant fruiting. After the emergence of seedlings, the temperature is lowered to a level of + 20 ... + 22 ° C.

Young plants are moved closer to the light source. In the phase of formation of 1-2 true leaves, a dive is carried out. For this purpose, peat pots filled with substrate are used.

Seedlings with 1 peduncle are transferred to open ground after the end of the spring frost period. It is recommended to place 3 bushes on 1 m².

When cultivating the brown sugar variety, you need to take into account the characteristics of the culture. Tall plants need to be tied to a support or trellis, periodically to remove excess shoots. By adjusting the number of brushes, large tomatoes can be harvested.

This variety responds well to fertilization and feeding. To stimulate the development of the plant, the formation of fruits, complex mineral preparations are used, which are applied at the root according to the manufacturer's scheme.

The ideal fertilization scheme provides for the use of complexes containing nitrogen before flowering. During the fruiting period, you need to focus on phosphorus and potassium preparations.

Plants are in 1 stem. The culture requires regular hilling and loosening of the soil. This activity stimulates the development of the root system, improves the access of nutrients necessary for the development of the tomato.

To minimize the costs of weed control, to provide drip irrigation, to protect the surface layer of the soil from drying out, mulching is carried out.

Non-woven black fiber is used for this event. The use of hay and leaves as mulch serves as a source of additional organic nutrition for plants.

Tomato sugar brown reviews

Possible diseases

In general, the Brown Sugar variety has a high resistance to most diseases. But if you grow it in a greenhouse, then before planting it will be useful to water the ground with a solution of potassium permanganate, or better, replace it with a fresh one. This reduces the risk of infectious diseases.

Of the pests, aphids are the most dangerous. It is relatively easy to deal with it, the main thing is to notice it in time and immediately take action. It is best to spray the bushes with a warm solution of laundry soap.

A spider mite can also cause a lot of problems. A good result in the fight against it is shown by an infusion of celandine or special insecticides. For reliability, you need to spray the bushes two or three times.

Slugs sometimes attack tomatoes as well. A weak solution of ammonia will help here - one treatment, as a rule, is quite enough to solve the problem of pests.
