Primabella (Das Bonbon)

Cultivation Break

Season Overview

Description

Outdoor tomato Primabella has firm, storable strong red fruits hanging in panicles. It is high-yielding and particularly robust with good sweet-sour flavor. The fruits weigh about 30 g and are particularly suitable for fresh consumption. The firm fruits can be stored well compared to other outdoor varieties and are therefore best suited for direct marketing. The variety is medium early with strong growth and dense, dark green foliage and bears until frost. Young plants are characterized by a compact growth. Primabella has the highest phytophtora tolerance currently available on the market.

Growing tips

Germination in 10-14 days at 18-24°C. Sowing depth 02,-0,5 cm. Prick out and pot after the formation of the first leaf. The plant should be covered with soil until just below the cotyledons to be able to form sufficient roots. It is particularly suitable for outdoor cultivation, but also for tunnel/greenhouse or container, where a two-shoot culture is recommended. Outdoor tomatoes can be grown outdoors without protection. They should be regularly pricked out and tied up. Adequate nutrient supply increases yield, but Primabella performs well even with reduced fertilization and irrigation. Watering close to the ground with stinging nettle-bonecrop liquid manure diluted at a ratio of 1:10 every 14 days is favorable. Co-planting basil is good against powdery mildew and whitefly. Tomatoes, in turn, are good neighbors for cabbage, as they drive away the dreaded small cabbage whitefly with their scent
