Primabella (Das Bonbon)

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 up after the first leaf has formed. The plant should be covered with soil to just below the cotyledons to allow sufficient roots to form. It is particularly suitable for outdoor cultivation, but also for tunnels/greenhouses or containers, where a two-branch culture is recommended. Outdoor tomatoes can be grown unprotected outdoors. They should be regularly pinched out and tied up. An adequate supply of nutrients increases the yield, but Primabella also performs well with reduced fertilization and watering. Watering close to the ground with a 1:10 dilution of nettle and comfrey liquid manure every 14 days is beneficial. Planting basil alongside is good against mildew and whitefly. Tomatoes are also good neighbors for cabbage, as they drive away the dreaded cabbage whitefly with their scent
