Tomato Dushes — a mid-early variety that starts fruiting 95-115 days after mass seedlings. The plant is determinate, medium-leafed, with a height of 50-70 cm in open ground, and up to 100-120 cm in greenhouses. Leaves are small, dark green, flowers are simple, and the peduncle has a joint. Due to these characteristics, the tomato does not require pinching, simplifying plant care.
Fruits of the Dushes variety have an elongated-pear or plum shape, sometimes with thickening at the tip. They are smooth, red, weighing up to 90 g, with 2-3 seed chambers. The flesh is tender, sweet, aromatic, and juicy, with a thin skin that does not toughen. Tomatoes easily ripen, allowing for high-quality harvest even under adverse conditions. Yield per plant, under proper agronomy, reaches 3.5-4 kg.
The Dushes variety is characterized by high resistance to both air and soil drought, as well as diseases such as alternaria, septoria, and fruit anthracnose. It is intended for cultivation in open ground, temporary plastic covers, and greenhouses, including cold regions with frequent frosts. Seedlings are recommended to be hardened off to improve cold resistance. Tomatoes are suitable for fresh consumption, as well as for making ketchup, lecho, tomato paste, and whole-fruit preservation.
