The fruits grow brushes. One brush can accommodate about 18-22 pieces. Ripening of tomatoes occurs 120 days after the first shoots. The flesh of vegetables is rather dense and has a sweet-sour taste. The seeds in the fruit are few.

The advantages and disadvantages of the variety

The main advantages of the Black Moor are:

• amazing taste characteristics;
• compactness of the fruit (which is convenient for canning);
• the density of the skin, which prevents damage to fruits during transport;
• long storage period of vegetable culture.

Among the shortcomings of dark-colored tomatoes should be highlighted:

• exposure to pests;
• susceptibility to blight and fusarium.

Distinctive features from other varieties

Black Moor can grow both in the greenhouse and in the open field. The fruits have a teardrop shape and literally envelop the entire bush. This variety of dark tomatoes is considered the most fruitful and can bring almost 6-7 kg of yield from one plant.

Requirements for soil for planting

Special tanks should be prepared for sowing, namely:

• wooden boxes;
• cups (paper);
• plastic cups;
• cut plastic bottles;
• peat pots.

It will be most convenient to plant seeds in peat or paper containers, as grown seedlings can be planted in open ground directly in these pots.

Before sowing seeds, it is necessary for 4-5 days to place the prepared container in a room with a temperature of about 22-25 degrees. It should be borne in mind that the seeds grow as fast as possible in coconut fibers (chopped). It may also be useful to the soil, which will contain in the same proportion turf and humus soil.

Sowing rules

It is very important to harden the seeds before planting, which will prevent their further response to temperature changes. For hardening, it is enough to place the seeds in a convenient container and put them into the cold for 48 hours. Immediately before planting the planting material, it is necessary to check for germination. To do this, we moisten the seeds and bring them into a room with a temperature of 20-25 degrees for 5-7 days.

Given the susceptibility of tomatoes to a variety of diseases, planting material must be processed before planting. As a rule, manganese dissolved in water is used for this purpose.

When sowing Black Moor, you should follow the recommendations that will allow you to grow healthy seedlings:

1. Seeds are sown to a depth of about 18-20 mm. If you put a seed deeper, it may rot.
2. The distance place the seeds should be 18-20 mm.
3. The lower the germination rate, the tighter the landing should be.
4. After disembarking, it is recommended to cover the container with film material.
5. After the appearance of the first leaves (2-3), the seedlings can be picketed.

For the rapid germination of seedlings should provide optimal conditions, namely:

• ensure the soil looseness;
• place containers in a bright and warm room;
• water the seeds after sowing, cover with foil and after waiting for the first seedling to water the soil again.

Transplantation of tomatoes in open ground

Seedlings can be planted on the site only 45-55 days after the appearance of the first sprouts. As a rule, during this period, heat stabilizes outside, and the appearance of night frosts is unlikely.

Plants can be several options:

1. Rows 60x30 or 50x30.
2. Two-line ribbon - wider distances are left between each pair of rows. In this case, the bushes can be planted in a checkerboard pattern.
3. Nesting - 2 bushes are placed in one hole.

Grade care after transplanting

After transplanting the plant into the open ground, it is necessary to provide him with proper care:

• Given the high degree of growth of vegetable crops and the abundant amount of fruits on the hands, each bush must be tied up.
• As the plants grow, the extra stepchildren are removed and the flowered hands vibrate in a timely manner, which will significantly increase the yield.
• Systematically water the plants with warm water.
• Periodically produce dressing using a full range of fertilizers.
• Every 5-6 days we loosen the soil and do weeding.

Diseases and their prevention

Despite the average degree of Black Moor's resistance to diseases, it is still susceptible to fungal infections. It is very important to carry out prevention in order to avoid infection of the bushes. It is also recommended to put into practice the rules of crop rotation (hilling bushes), to process vegetables with Hom. Barrier preparations are perfect for feeding. To prevent the occurrence of phytophthora should spray plants using a solution of Bordeaux liquids.

If small punctures appear on the leaves of the seedlings, then it is time to fight the spider mite. You can get rid of it by spraying Karbofos on the bushes.

The subtleties of successful cultivation of this variety of tomato

The most significant feature of the cultivation of tomato Black Moor is considered to be the obligatory garter of its branches and the timely disposal of unnecessary stepchildren. To increase the yield of the bush it is necessary to create the effect of vibration (shake the brush gently) and periodically feed.
