Flaws

However, the plant could not be protected from rust, aphids, spider mites and root-knot nematodes. Therefore, it is necessary to remember about preventive measures.

It is also important to remember that seedlings do not take root very well, but this problem is easily solved: summer residents transplant them using the transshipment method (along with a lump of earth).

The plant is also demanding of soil temperature after transplanting seedlings and during seed germination.

It is necessary to maintain conditions of 15-20 degrees Celsius during the day and not lower than +8 at night.

But all these shortcomings pale in comparison to the harvest that the hybrid produces.
