The vegetation period ranges from 105 to 119 days, allowing for harvest within relatively short timeframes. The plant has medium growth strength, compact form, and is well-leafed; it forms weakly branching, limited suckering bushes. For planting, seedlings grown in nutrient-rich pots and cups over 55-60 days are recommended, transplanted to their permanent location in mid-May according to the 70x70 cm scheme, forming bushes with 1-2 stems. The fruits of tomato Favorite 6 are large, weighing 250 to 400 grams, have a thin raspberry-colored skin, slightly flattened shape, and weakly ribbed surface. The flesh is very meaty, tasty, with a small number of seeds, making this variety versatile for various culinary purposes. The crop is heat- and light-loving, with an optimal growth temperature of +23-25ºC. Tomato is resistant to insufficient light, expanding its cultivation possibilities under various climatic conditions. The variety exhibits high resistance to major tomato diseases, such as cladosporiosis, fusarium, tobacco mosaic virus, and other viral infections. It is also heat-tolerant, enabling successful cultivation under elevated temperatures. For achieving early and high yields, temporary covering of plants with transparent plastic until warm weather arrives is recommended. Best preceding crops for planting tomato Favorite 6 are legumes, cucurbits, and root vegetables, while it is not advisable to plant after potatoes, peppers, eggplants, or Physalis. Soil should be light, fertile, preferably loamy, with organic fertilizers added; the planting site should be sunny and protected from cold winds.
