This variety was developed in Russia by domestic breeders in 2007. Since then, it has performed exceptionally well both in open ground and in protected greenhouse conditions, delighting millions of gardeners. After all, not everyone has a greenhouse.

One drawback I've noticed is that the variety is extremely demanding of fertilizers, especially early in its development. However, tomatoes need fertilizer, and that's normal.

How to grow

This variety is recommended for open ground cultivation, where tomatoes grow better, thrive more freely, and produce higher yields. They are best grown in warmer, more evenly conditioned southern regions, such as the Astrakhan region or the North Caucasus. However, other regions can use greenhouses or take the risk; as numerous reviews indicate, this market wonder has been grown everywhere for several years now.

To form a healthy plant, you need 1-2 stems, which require subsequent pinching and pruning. Fertilizer: a mixture of potassium and phosphate is extremely important, especially when the bushes are just starting to form.

Diseases, various pests

Yes, "Market Miracle" is indeed extremely resistant to some diseases (unfortunately, vegetables have their share of diseases, including cancer). This variety often suffers from brown rot. To combat this scourge, remove all infected fruit, then reduce the amount of nitrogen fertilizer and reduce regular watering. Carefully inspect all bushes, removing any infected fruit. Finish treatment with "Hom" and "Oxis."

The most common pest is the mole cricket. Deep, thorough weeding of the entire area where tomatoes are grown helps. Regularly weed, removing weeds. A teaspoon of pepper per bucket of water will help repel slugs.

Other pests should be collected by hand while inspecting the bushes. Caterpillars and various bugs are also common. You can treat the bushes with a mild soap solution; this repels many pests; soap has a strong odor that is unpleasant for insects.

Proper care, regular inspections, watering and tomato fertilizers They produce excellent results and a high yield. "Market Miracle" tomatoes are similar to the classic variety: round, red, and juicy. They're not only easy to preserve or make into paste, but also suitable for cooking.
