Tomato Pink Liana with a characteristic and description of the variety with photos, reviews of seeds and harvest

Among the new tomato varieties, the Liana variety, bred back in the late 90s in Moldova, has not been lost. It turned out to be so promising that it became the genetic material for hybrids, one of them is the Rozovaya Lyana tomato. This variety was bred in the Russian NICSSA and is recommended for growing in open and protected ground. If we put together the reviews of those who have already grown this variety on the site, the portrait of the hybrid Lyana comes out more than positive. The yield and endurance of the plant are especially noted.

Characteristics and properties

The hybrid, unlike Liang tomatoes, belongs to the super-early varieties: from the beginning of vegetative development to the ripening of fruits, 82-88 days pass. During the season, 2.5-3 kg of tomatoes are removed from the bush.

Pink Lyana inherited a compact, low bush that can grow slightly higher than the parent - it stretches up to 70 cm (in contrast to the parental 45). Like the parent, the cultivar is determinant and not standard, and vegetable growers do not need to pinch the bushes, but they have to save the crop by tying the stem with a plentiful ovary.

Important! Low-growing compact bushes are convenient for growing over large areas of land.

The shape of the tomatoes is classical, the pulp is divided into 4-6 mild sections with a small number of seeds. Ripe fruits are pale pink with a smooth surface. Their skin is firm, and the flesh is firm and fleshy, which makes tomatoes well tolerated during transportation. The variety is distinguished by its high keeping quality - fruits are stored in the cold for up to 3 months. Tomatoes are small - their weight ranges from 80-100 g, which is convenient for canning. They are distinguished by good taste, the content of many vitamins and a large amount of carotene.

Tomato variety is grown:

• yourself, so that there are fresh vegetables on the table and for preparations;
• on an industrial scale for processing and supply to grocery stores.

The shrubs can withstand extreme temperature fluctuations and yield high yields in good and bad weather conditions. The fruits are poured together. The variety is suitable for cultivation in open ground and greenhouses, it is quite tolerant to mistakes in care. Like all hybrids, Pink Lyana is resistant to tomato diseases.

Advice! Ground tomatoes have the best taste.

Minuses

The disadvantages include the tendency transmitted from Lyana to the disease with tobacco mosaic and, when growing in the open field, to the defeat of late blight.

Growing tips

The variety is unpretentious, but in order to obtain a bountiful harvest, seedlings or seeds, which is permissible in the southern regions of the country, are best planted in a sunny place. The plant will thrive and bear fruit better if the soil is nutritious and loose. Therefore, in the fall, the soil for the beds for tomatoes is fertilized with a composition from a compost pit, and organic fertilizers are scattered.

Tomatoes are planted as soon as weather conditions permit. Seedlings are planted at the rate of 4-6 bushes per square meter. In order to protect the plant from frost during early planting, wire arcs with a stretched covering material are installed on the beds.

When caring for the bushes, universal agrotechnical standards are observed:

• timely watering without waterlogging of the soil;
• loosening the earth under the bushes;
• regular feeding;
• weed removal.

At the peak of fruit ripening, it is recommended to reduce watering or stop altogether in order to further increase the taste of tomatoes.

In addition, when growing tomatoes, you need to follow the principles of crop rotation and not place beds with Lyanoy Rosova in the place where potatoes, peppers, and eggplants were grown.A good choice would be the land where pumpkin crops and legumes were planted.

Diseases and pests

Hybrid variety resistant to disease, but not resistant to invasion Colorado beetles... Spraying with insecticides helps to save the crop from gluttonous insects. If the vegetable grower has a taboo on the use of chemicals, beetles and their larvae are harvested by hand. With such "manual" processing, it is possible to grow an environmentally friendly crop.

About hybrid varieties

Many varieties of tomatoes have been bred by breeders. There are hybrid ones among them. As a rule, their name contains the addition of F1 or F1. Like Caspar F1, also derived from Liang tomato. The peculiarity of hybrids is the absence of transfer of varietal properties to plants grown from harvested seeds. Therefore, you should not collect seeds of ripe Liang pink tomatoes for planting next year. To grow hybrid seedlings, you need seed from the nursery.

Growing tomatoes of an unpretentious fruitful variety Pink Lyana is practical because of the high yield and not troublesome (the plant is resistant to diseases and unpretentious to growing conditions). The only problem is where to buy good seeds, because the variety is hybrid. It is worth contacting only proven points of sale.
