The ovary is formed under the 5th leaf. In total, the plant has 5-6 carpal inflorescences. Each cluster of these tomatoes contains 5-6 fruits of the same size and shape.
The variety shows fast formation as well as ripening at high temperatures. Resistant to temperature fluctuations. During the fruitful period of plant development, the bushes of this hybrid are hung with fruits and look very beautiful. The compact size of Asvon F1 tomato bushes allows growing them even at home on the windowsill, as well as on the balcony. For these purposes, a spacious container with a volume of 10-12 liters per 1 bush is required.

Since the yield of the tomato of this variety occurs almost simultaneously, it is very important that the seedlings are planted in prepared soil. The soil environment should be slightly acidic. To achieve the desired acidity in the fall, a mullein is introduced there, dug up.
To get a good tomato harvest, you need to carefully monitor the watering and fertilization of the bushes. Watering should be done as the soil dries up (usually once every 10-14 days). If watering is drip, then you can once a week.During the growing season 5-10 liters of water, and during fruiting and ripening 10-20 liters for each root of the plant.
After each watering, you should loosen the soil under the plants. This gives the bush better aeration, the fruits ripen faster. It is imperative to fertilize tomatoes of the Asvon variety, since with a lack of necessary substances, the hybrid reduces its yield, and cultivation turns out to be ineffective and unprofitable.
Disease and pest control
"Aswon" are tomatoes that are resistant to almost all diseases. Usually they are not infected with late blight. However, during the late blight epidemic, it is recommended to treat plants with a Bordeaux mixture for timely prevention. Treatment of bushes with "Fitosporin M" helps from gray rot. Tomato tops attract flying insects and other pests. They are destroyed with the help of various specific insecticides, the treatment is repeated 2-3 times with an interval of 7-10 days.
It is important to remember the secrets of productivity:
- Selection of quality seed.
- Compliance with crop rotation on the site, you can not plant tomatoes in areas after potatoes, eggplants, melons and cucumbers.
- Treatment of the site before sowing with a solution of copper sulfate 1 tbsp. l. 10 liters of boiling water.
- Disinfection. Before planting a tomato in 1 day, you can burn a sulfuric smoke bomb, thus, we destroy fungal spores.
- Compliance with the regime, as well as the amount of watering.
- Compliance with the regime for feeding tomatoes at the root and tops. These activities alternate every 10 days.
