METELITSY

The tomato variety Metelitsa is a medium-maturing, determinate, and cold-resistant type with compact bushes reaching 45 to 60 cm in height. The plants are not sprawling, which simplifies care and harvest. The fruits of this variety are round, slightly ribbed, very dense, and a deep red color, distinguished by excellent taste and universal use in cooking.

Fruit weight varies from 100 to 300 grams, making them convenient for both fresh consumption and processing. Tomatoes are suitable for making salads and other dishes, thanks to their dense structure and rich flavor. The variety is resistant to diseases and drought, which contributes to a stable yield of up to 6 kg per plant.

Growing the Metelitsa tomato requires adherence to specific agronomic practices: seeds are sown no deeper than 1 cm, seedlings are thinned, fertilized, and hardened off before transplanting into the soil, typically in June. Plants require regular, abundant watering with warm water, soil loosening, and fertilization to ensure full development and high yield.
