Tomato "Wonder of the World": description and characteristics of the variety, photo

Modern gardeners have a huge selection of tomato varieties to choose from. Potatoes, cucumbers, and, of course, tomatoes—like the Miracle of the World, for example—are available for those looking to try something special. Stop thinking that vegetables only come in one type and classic shape.

Breeding is moving forward, scientists are constantly developing new varieties, trying to find that golden mean where the balance of taste, disease resistance, and ease of cultivation is harmonious.

Country of origin

This "Miracle" was the result of the experience of Russian breeders, and it received state registration as a new variety in 2002. That's when the first reviews from practicing gardeners began to appear. "Miracle of the World" is praised for its excellent yield, beautiful appearance, and pleasing color. Yellow tomatoes! Why not?

Characteristics of the variety

The description of any variety begins with the type of bush—indeterminate, standard, or mid-season. It takes about 100-110 full days, counting from planting (seedlings) to the appearance of ripe fruits.

Biologists recommend growing them in greenhouses, but they generally thrive in open ground conditions. However, yield may suffer and there's a risk of damage if the region is exposed to strong winds. The variety itself is quite resistant to many vegetable diseases. Unfortunately, plants are also susceptible to dozens of other diseases, including cancer.

The bushes themselves grow large; there's no specific point after which the plants stop growing. This is why tomatoes can reach 180 meters, even 210 meters.

Naturally, bushes of this height require proper staking, proper care, and adequate support. After all, they are bushes, not trees, and lack a strong trunk and well-developed branches.

Fruit

1. The main characteristic of the fruit, its calling card, is its yellow color. There are also shades of yellow (light, dark, or simply bright and saturated);
2. The pulp is also yellow, dense and quite fleshy;
3. Size is medium and small, usually 70-100 grams, large ones are rare;
4. The shape is slightly elongated, oval, most reminiscent of lemons;
5. 3-4 chambers inside and dry matter by 5%.

Such description of indicators warms the hearts of farmers, especially those who want to grow Tomatoes in open ground in the Moscow region for subsequent mass distribution. A pretty photo or a pleasing color isn't enough for them. They value transportability, taste, and, of course, the yield.

Directions for use

"Wonder of the World" tomatoes are beautiful, rich in vitamins, and have a good balance of sugar and acid. This makes them excellent for homemade juice. Their size is ideal for canning; even small tomatoes fit comfortably in liter-sized jars. Their flavor is also perfect. Their unusual color helps them brighten up any table or jar. They are also great for fresh eating.

Pros and cons

Among the advantages it is worth noting:

• A beautiful plant, if you don’t neglect the growth of the bushes, you can even use them as decorative ones;
• High yield (stable, with proper care);
• Resistant to various diseases;
• The fruits are tasty, suitable for both canning and fresh consumption;
• They travel well and can be stored for a long time;
• High drought resistance (does not suffer as much from uneven watering and the crop will not be killed by a sudden drought);
• Unusual, pleasant color.

The most commonly cited drawback is the bushes' height, which is said to be too tall and difficult to maintain, requiring skill. The plants are also very sensitive to wind if grown in open, uncontaminated soil.

The truth about staking is that if it's a drawback, then most tomato varieties suffer from it. Everything needs to be tied up and secured, even low bushes. This is especially true during periods of active growth and ripening.

How to grow

The description also includes several tips on growing and caring for it. For example, "Wonder of the World" can be grown safely in greenhouses or hothouses, regardless of the region. It is suitable for any climate. As for open ground, the following are particularly suitable: the Caucasus republics, the Krasnodar Territory, and some southern regions.

When strong winds occur in the planting area, which is normal for the local climate, it's best to use windbreaks, sturdy trellises, or even plant in a greenhouse. The bushes often grow large, and each cluster is simply bursting with fruit by harvest time.

When growing in a greenhouse, it's important to ventilate the space frequently to maintain a good microclimate inside, preventing stagnant air. The inflorescences should be shaken occasionally to check for pollination. The bushes need to be pinched to ensure proper stems form. If left to their natural state, the bush will spread out, which is undesirable.

It is better to feed with fertilizers containing phosphorus and potassium, this will have a beneficial effect on the harvest.

Diseases and pests

Yes, "Wonder of the World" is truly resistant to certain diseases, but it does have its weaknesses. For example, it's susceptible to tobacco mosaic and brown spot. Both diseases are extremely unpleasant. For example, tobacco mosaic is extremely difficult to eradicate; you must ruthlessly cut off all the affected areas, then treat the cut areas with a solution of potassium permanganate. "Zaslon" is more effective against brown spot, then reduce watering and increase ventilation.

"Confidor" will help against greenhouse whitefly, the main enemy of greenhouse crops.

If tomatoes are grown in open ground, mole crickets and spider mites are a concern. Deep and thorough weeding protects against mole crickets. It's also important to treat the soil with a water-pepper solution, which should be poured into any insect nests found. Spider mites should be washed off manually, using soapy water on the leaves and bushes until all traces of the pest disappear.

From possible others diseases and pests Regular inspections of the bushes will help. Most harmful insects are removed manually, periodically treating the leaves and bushes with a soapy solution. The smell and consistency of the solution on the leaves will then repel unwanted guests.

An essential part of attentive care is love. Plants sense how they are treated, and a caring, loving owner will always be rewarded with a bountiful harvest.

Feedback from practitioners

Vladimir

"A simply wonderful variety, the name is apt! I first came across these by accident, as a mis-selected variety. They were in a pack where I expected to see seeds of a different variety. Imagine the surprise when you plant tomatoes and instead of the expected Bull's Heart, something completely unknown suddenly grows. The variety is mid-season, and it formed two clusters, while the third bloomed, then led to the trunk. About a hundred flowers appeared on the cluster, but then they set, and 40 ripened. Of course, I realized they were tomatoes, but I only guessed what kind towards the end, when I saw the ripe fruits. They are indeed a "miracle of the world." Small, beautiful yellow ones. I say small, because I was expecting Bull's Heart. Now I'll definitely plant them again; I'll know what exactly and care for them a little differently."

"I love them! I've been planting them for four years now, and the clusters are simply magnificent! If you haven't tried them yet, I highly recommend them. The harvest is the most satisfying thing. Each cluster produces about 40 individual, ripe fruits!"

Oleg

"The main thing is to tie the branches to a stake and not let them grow too luxuriantly, as they produce numerous inflorescences. Just make sure the branches can support the weight of the ripe fruit. Harvest the harvest on time. You also need to make sure there's a 50-60 cm gap between the bushes."
