Characteristics and description of the tomato "Success"

Success is an early-ripening, low-growing tomato variety. Growing methods depend directly on the climate zone. In southern regions, it can be planted in open beds, while in northern regions, it's best grown in a plastic greenhouse.

The bush grows up to 70 cm and requires no staking or side shoot removal. Harvesting begins 85-100 days after the first shoots emerge.

Its advantages:

• is resistant to sudden temperature fluctuations;
• has excellent yield indicators;
• easy to transport;
• can be stored for quite a long time;
• has resistance to most diseases.

The tomatoes are plum-shaped, glossy, and smooth-surfaced, weighing 60-79 g. They are red in color and are excellent for both fresh and pickling.

How to care for tomatoes

To ensure a good tomato harvest, you should provide them with timely and proper care.

There are some nuances for the tomato variety Success

1. Pay special attention to watering your plants. Allowing the soil to dry out, especially during ripening, can cause leaf curling, ovary drop, and smaller fruit.
2. Temperature conditions are also important for this variety. For example, if the temperature is too low, the bushes will stop growing and flowering. However, excessively high temperatures can reduce yield.
3. Fertilizing tomatoes is only done if the soil is deficient in some element.

For example, during seedling growth, phosphorus should be added to the soil, as a deficiency can delay tomato ripening.

If there is a lack of nitrogen in the soil, this can provoke various diseases and, as a consequence, a decrease in fruiting.

If, on the contrary, there is an excess of nitrogen in the soil, this can provoke a delay in development and a subsequent decrease in yield.

How to properly prepare seeds for planting

Before sowing seeds, it is recommended to treat them with a pale pink solution of potassium permanganate. This is necessary for disease prevention.

After treatment, the seeds are sown in prepared containers (boxes are ideal) to a depth of approximately 2 cm. They are then placed in a warm place. No light is needed during this period.

Once the first shoots have emerged, the containers are moved to another location. It's important to provide the seedlings with light. To achieve this, they are illuminated with fluorescent lamps.

As they grow, weak seedlings should be removed, and when several true leaves appear, a picking procedure is carried out.

The picking can be done in this way:

• an option when one plant is transplanted into new soil;
• transshipment method - with this method, the seedlings are transferred to a new container with a lump of earth.

Planting plants in a greenhouse

The seedlings are planted when they reach 45-60 days of age.

1. The soil must be watered and fertilized.
2. The number of tomato rows depends on the width of the greenhouse. It's important to remember that the row spacing should be approximately 30 cm, and the tomato plants themselves should be spaced 35 cm apart.
3. During the adaptation period, seedlings should be watered once every two days using warm water.

Once the plants have established themselves, watering should be reduced. During this time, water the bushes once every 5 days.

About seven days after planting, the plants need to be fertilized. For this, use an organic solution, such as chicken manure diluted with water at a ratio of 1:10. Cow manure at a ratio of 1:5 can also be used.

A week after the first feeding, apply a second fertilizer. For this, use the same solution, adding 10 g each of urea, nitrophoska, and potassium chloride.

In our case, the plants do not require mandatory pinching, but in order to obtain larger fruits, as well as speed up their ripening process, it is better to remove the side shoots.

Planting tomatoes in an open bed

This should be done in late May or early June. It's important that the threat of frost has passed.

For Success, as with all low-growing tomatoes, the following planting pattern is recommended: 30x40 or 35x50. Many gardeners use a strip planting pattern, while others prefer a square pattern. This depends entirely on individual preference.

Planting holes should be 10-15 cm deep. The plants are then watered with water and a mineral fertilizer blend.

Tomatoes will take root in about 10 days.

Two weeks after planting, the bushes should be hilled.

I planted Uspekh for the first time this summer. I'd like to point out that the variety lives up to its name. The plant turned out to be easy-to-grow. I planted it in a plastic greenhouse. The harvest was impressive. Overall, I liked the variety. The fruit tasted good, and the tomatoes kept fresh for a long time.

I discovered Uspekh this summer. The tomatoes are stress-resistant and survived a fairly cold summer. They respond well to fertilization. I grew them in a bed without pinching or staking. The flavor is excellent; the tomatoes are juicy and slightly tart. I enjoyed them both fresh and pickled. They're also easy to preserve.
