In late May, we organized a traditional meeting with the farmers of the
Kamenka-Dneprovskaya and the Vodyano-town of Zaporozhye region. Here the position of our company's traditionally strong,
many farmers we know personally. For 10 years, the seeds of our hybrids of tomatoes and cucumbers are in great demand from
farmers. Meeting in Ukraine, we began with the Donetsk region, where we first visited Donetsk experimental greenhouse
complex. For the second year in its greenhouses, farmers grow hybrid tomatoes: F1 Gilgal, F1 Pink Spam,
F1 Cherry Ira, F1 Cherry Kira in the second turn. This year, the plant management decided to plant an
area of 3 ha large-fruited tomatoes F1 Malik and F1 Gilgal in the first turn and the second turn. Last year's
experience showed the chief agronomist Gennady Kuzhel that our hybrids are very reliable. Reliability is now a very
important quality, because many hybrids are suffering from viral diseases, and this is reflected in the quality and quantity
of the crop. Hybrids, which the company offers, resistant to the largest number of viral diseases. Therefore, the plants,
planted in the 2nd turn, will not suffer from bronzing and yellow leaf roll. Each farmer in the company chooses its time for sowing seeds of summer-autumn turnover. Timing of sowing depends on the results of the previous turn. Of great importance is respect for the technological requirements and weather conditions. The earlier culture will be planted, the higher its yield. In July and August sales price of vegetables falls sharply, it makes the production of greenhouse vegetables uneconomic at this time. Increasing the price of vegetables in September, becomes visible, and in October, November and December the price is growing very quickly. Therefore, growers are trying to start collecting tomatoes and cucumbers in September. For this we must sow the seeds of tomatoes in early June, and planted seedlings to a permanent place in mid-July. Next are the most labor-intensive care (garter, Forming, watering, protection measures). Mid-July is a traditional vacations time, and this creates certain difficulties in the private sector in the production of vegetables. Therefore, many farmers prefer to shift the terms of seeding and transplanting at a later time, especially since the conditions of Ukraine allow the plant tomato seedlings to 20-25 July, and cucumbers - 25-30 July. However, there are farmers who planted the seeds of an even later date (early September). These farmers to produce good crops need to arrange additional lighting for late planting. In this case, you can get fresh tomatoes in January. During the fall turn the hybrids relating generally to the group
LSL-tomato hybrids as our F1 Longf, F1 Shelf, and F1 Life of F1 Simon with a long storage period has the
advantage of regular tomatoes. But they have one peculiarity - the fruit should get the red color being on the plants, as if
to collect them early, they will not gain a bright red color. Personal experience shows that large fruits regular tomato,
collected early in the refrigerator can maintain marketability more than a month, and while in storage, they become red. It is in this case, the advantage of hybrids are capable in low light, observed in autumn, recruit bright red color. Not all hybrids of tomatoes are capable of it. That's why we offer a hybrid tomato F1 Malika and F1 Gilgal for growers of southern Russia and Ukraine, as they have not only high yield and disease resistance, but are able to please consumers with bright red, beautiful and large fruits during autumn and winter season. |

The second meeting was held on the fields in the area Orekhov Zaporozhye region. There have already been constructed plastic greenhouses, which are planned to grow tomatoes second turn. Ivan Oleshenko agreed with us and is ready to grow tomatoes F1 Gilgal and F1 Malik in his greenhouses. On the field he grows cabbage hybrids F1 Prestige and F1 Valentine, sown directly into open ground. Ivan Oleshenko noted the excellent germination and seed vigor. | |
Continuing the journey along the left bank of the Dnepr, we had several meetings with farmers
from the Kamenka-Dneprovskaya and Vodyano. Tatiana Pupko organized meeting and conference. Our conversation with farmers
lasted two hours. During this time we gave a detailed account of our new range of vegetable seeds (Yuri Alekseev), features
technology for growing vegetable crops (Askar Akhatov) and on biosecurity plants from pests and diseases (Nikolai Teteruk).
We discussed many issues related to the advantage we offer hybrid tomato, pepper and cucumber, and answered questions
related to plant diseases in this period of growth. As a result of the meeting we have received orders for seeds
for the second turn. | |

In this region there are increasing of incidences of
bacterial diseases of tomatoes. The reasons are: unchangeable growing of one crop, the proximity of a large reservoir
(Kakhovske reservoir) and a low level of agricultural technology. It should be noted that for a long time the range of tomato
hybrids remained practically unchanged. Growing varieties with a small range of disease resistance of tomato is also
adversely affected the overall picture. Our company offering a new generation of hybrids with a wide range of disease
resistant tomatoes, including the majority of viruses and bacterial diseases prevalent in the southern region.
Over 2 years of tests conducted by our company, we have not observed any incidents of bacteriosis in hybrids
F1 Gilgal, F1 Malika, F1 Drive. Therefore, our recommendation is to replace the variety of the cultivated
tomato and proper use of drugs against bacterial diseases.
We recommend to process before sowing the seeds with the drug Fitolavin (20 ml/kg seed), spray to prevent the young
seedlings with 0,2% solution of the same drug, spray the soil before sowing seeds with drug Planriz, spray seedlings with
drug Alirin or Gamair. After planting young plants to a permanent place it is recommended to periodically spray the plants
with these biological drugs. If the first symptoms of disease occurs it is best to remove diseased plants and the
neighboring plants should be sprayed with 0,2% solution of the drug Fitolavin. We should not forget to spray with copper
specimens plants and soil as well. |

In the region of the Dnieper yield of some vegetable crops are slightly behind compare
to last year's results. This is due to prolonged cloudy weather and unstable, and sometimes low temperatures
during the spring. In the village Auly farmers are grown mainly determinate tomato hybrids (F1 Kate,
F1 Semko 18 and others), which they are already used to. Ukrainian farmers felt that they had already learned
how to grow these hybrids. But it's not so easy! Many of the problems associated with the traditions: people somehow
believe that each year it should take its course and make adjustments in the technology is not necessary. But this year,
this approach did not work. Determinate hybrids grown in the low "galleries", were more sensitive to climatic turbulences.
As a result, the growth of plants was different from the usual: many fruit disappeared or were not fastened properly, little
fruits in the first two clusters; therefore the vegetative mass was increased dramatically, which was slow foundation of
new fruits and rate of maturation. At the end there will be shortage of early and total of fruit yield. We advised to
reduce organic fertilizers under tomato plants and to coordinate technological works with the weather conditions along with
the condition of the plants. General director Yuri Alexeev |
