How to grow seedlings

Work with seedlings is carried out in several stages.:

1. Quality seed is obtained from the ripe and largest fruits. The tomato pulp with grains is kneaded, and after 3 days it is washed in a sieve with running water and dried on a sheet of paper.
2. Before sowing, the seeds are processed. The grains are placed for 20-30 minutes in a 1% solution of potassium permanganate, then washed with running water and placed in growth stimulants for a day. To increase the resistance of the culture to low temperatures, the seeds are placed in a refrigerator for 1 day.
3. Next, prepare the soil for seedlings. A ready-made soil mixture for vegetable plants is purchased in a store or made on its own by mixing humus, peat and turf soil in equal parts. This substrate is perfect for growing seedlings.
4. For cultivation of tomatoes in greenhouse conditions, sowing seeds for seedlings is carried out at the beginning of March, and for cultivation in the open air - at the end of the month.
5. Any container or special container is filled with soil. The seeds are deepened into the soil by 1.5-2 cm. The soil is carefully moistened so as not to erode the top layer of the earth. For this, a spray bottle is used.The container is covered with plastic wrap or transparent glass and placed in a warm place.
6. Seedlings appear in a week, they are regularly watered. After another seven days, real leaves grow.
7. When the plants have two leaves, the seedlings dive into large boxes at a distance of 10x10 cm from each other. The plants are deepened to the cotyledonous leaves.
8. The next transplant is carried out in 14 days. To do this, each plant, along with a lump of earth, is placed in separate containers of at least 1 liter. Peat cups are most often used.
9. During the period of growing seedlings, the plants are fed twice. To do this, use complex fertilizers ("Nitroammofoska").
10. Plants are hardened two weeks before planting seedlings in a permanent place of growth. To do this, the bushes are taken out onto the street or balcony for a couple of hours. The residence time of tomatoes in the fresh air is gradually increased.

Properly prepared seedlings will provide a good harvest and the ability to collect seeds for the next year.

On a note. By the time the plants are planted in the ground, the bushes should be no more than 30 cm in height.

Landing rules

Seedlings are planted in an unheated greenhouse in May, in open ground in June.... Plants are planted at a distance of 40 cm from each other, and at least 50 cm between rows. The best predecessors for tomatoes are legumes, radishes, carrots or cabbage.

Choose a bed well lit... With a lack of light, culture will not fully develop. The Pear pink variety does not tolerate both a decrease in temperature less than +15 ° C and an increase of more than + 35 ° C. In hot weather, the pollination process is disrupted and ovaries are not formed. At low temperatures, flowering and fruit setting stops, the plants begin to get sick with late blight, in which the fruits become unusable.

Care

Plants are watered regularly, preventing the soil from drying outbut excessive moisture is also bad for the culture. The procedure is performed in the morning or evening, when the sun does not bake. Water is used settled or rainwater, at room temperature. The bushes are moisturized at the root. After watering, the soil around the bushes must be loosened and weeds are removed. Plants are also pinched. These measures improve ventilation, which helps to remove excess moisture from the soil.

For a good harvest throughout the growing season fertilizer is applied every three weeks. Organic and mineral supplements alternate. They try not to use manure, as it promotes the growth of foliage and weeds, which in turn slows down the development of fruits.

The bush is formed into one or two stems - this is enough to achieve a bountiful harvest of tomatoes. Experienced gardeners leave no more than 8 brushes on the plant.

On a note. Tomatoes contain a large amount of serotonin (the hormone of happiness), so this wonderful product can cheer you up as well as chocolate.

Seedless growing method

Tomato is picky about soil... The soil should be fertile and loose. In order for the land to meet these requirements, it is dug up and fertilized with phosphorus, potassium and wood ash before planting.

Top dressing is applied simultaneously with diggingso that the minerals get into the lower layers of the soil.

Landing scheme:

1. Seeds are sown in such a way that a distance of about 40 cm remains between them. Density is not allowed, as it will lead to a decrease in yield or plant disease.
2. After planting the seeds, the garden bed is watered with warm water. If the planting is carried out in open ground, the top is covered with a film or lutrasil. This will protect the seedlings from possible cold snaps.

Prevention of diseases and pests

If there is not enough magnesium and potassium in the soil, the crop is affected by white rot.... Tomatoes in greenhouses are often infected with this disease due to their proximity to other vegetable crops. When the disease manifests itself, all rotten shoots are destroyed or the entire bush is removed.

To protect the culture from viral and fungal diseases at the beginning of growth, tomatoes are watered with a weak solution of potassium permanganate. The Colorado potato beetle is destroyed by treating the bushes with chemicals - "Karate", "Bankol" or "Killer". From caterpillars, slugs and other creeping pests, the roots of the bushes are sprinkled with wood ash or copper sulfate.

Important! A month before picking tomatoes, spraying with chemicals is stopped.
