Tomato T 203 5 is a medium-early determinate variety with a ripening period of 114-116 days. The fruits are flat-round in shape, weighing from 120 to 200 grams, and have a vibrant red color. This variety is distinguished by its high dry matter content, which gives the tomatoes excellent taste qualities and makes them particularly suitable for mass production of tomato juice and paste. The yield of this variety reaches 60-80 tons per hectare, indicating its high productivity.
The plant is resistant to diseases such as mosaic, alternaria, and bacterial spot, which simplifies care and reduces the risk of crop loss. Tomatoes T 203 5 have dense flesh and skin, which prevents the fruits from splitting, makes them well-suited for transportation, and allows them to be stored for a long time in fresh condition. The low moisture content within the fruits contributes to their long-term storage and ease of marketing.
For growing this variety, choose a warm and well-lit location. Seeds are sown in trays or peat pots to a depth of about 1 cm, ensuring adequate lighting, with artificial lighting used if necessary. Seedlings are transplanted into open ground when the plant reaches a height of about 25 cm and there is no threat of frost. The soil should be pre-fertilized with compost or manure, and during growth, the plants require regular watering and feeding: nitrogen fertilizers during early stages, and potassium and phosphorus fertilizers during later stages. Avoid overwatering, as excess moisture can be detrimental to the plants.
