To increase the germination of crops, only large, undamaged seeds are selected and treated with a growth accelerator. Then the grains are planted in pre-prepared soil. These procedures prevent the development of various diseases.

Outdoors

Work with seedlings for open ground begins in mid-March. To obtain healthy plants, gardeners carry out the following activities:

1. Seed material is properly prepared for planting. Tomato grains are treated for 20-30 minutes in a 1% solution of potassium permanganate, then washed and soaked overnight in a growth stimulator.
2. To grow plants, they take soil from the garden and treat it with Fundazol. Then small grooves are made in the soil for seeds.Another option is to buy soil from a specialty store.
3. The seeds are sown in large pots or boxes with soil at intervals of 2-3 cm (since the Orange miracle has good germination). The grains are buried to a depth of 1 cm. After that, the soil is moistened with standing water at room temperature and covered with transparent glass or film.
4. When the first sprouts appear, the film is removed and the seedlings are placed in a well-lit place, for example, on a windowsill. The temperature in the room where the plants are located is maintained at a level of at least 25 ° C.
5. When two true leaves appear, the seedlings dive into separate containers. As it dries, the plants are watered.
6. 1-2 weeks before the expected planting in a permanent place in the open ground, the tomatoes begin to harden. Bushes are taken outside for 1-2 hours daily. The residence time of the culture in the fresh air is gradually increased.

During the dive, the seedlings pinch the central root of the tomatoes. This procedure promotes the formation of a strong root system.

In mid-late May, when the frosts pass, the culture is transplanted to a permanent place of growth in open ground. Plants are placed in holes at a distance of at least 50 cm from each other and watered abundantly. Since the variety is indeterminate, the culture must be tied to a trellis.

Further care for tomatoes is carried out as follows:

• timely watered (at least once every 4 days);
• fertilized with mineral dressing during flowering and during setting 2 times, during fruit formation - 2 times;
• loosen the soil around the plants and at the same time remove weeds;
• the bush is formed into 1-2 stems.

On a note. Plants are watered at the root. Do not allow moisture to enter the leaves, otherwise the foliage will get burns.

In the greenhouse

At the beginning of May, tomato bushes are transplanted into a greenhouse, since frosts are not terrible for plants in it.... From the first days, the tomatoes are provided with watering. The most suitable air temperature for a crop is from 20 to 25 ° C, the optimum air humidity is 70%, otherwise there is a risk of rotting plants.

So that the tomatoes are not watery, the soil is moistened moderately, but the soil is also not allowed to dry out. Top dressing is carried out in the same way as in the open field, 4 times during the growing season with mineral fertilizers. To preserve the harvest, tomatoes are tied up in time.

How to increase yields

To increase the yield of tomatoes Orange Miracle, the following rules of agricultural technology are observed:

1. Once a week, tomato seedlings are fertilized with liquid fertilizers "Agricola", "Effecton" or "Ideal".
2. When transplanting plants to a permanent place, they use means to strengthen the root system or wood ash, which is sprinkled on the holes.
3. Before planting, the seedlings are carefully examined for damage. Weak and injured plants are thrown away.
4. Tomato bushes are planted according to the 50 × 40 cm scheme.
5. The culture is moistened at the root, using a watering can, so as not to erode the soil and not expose the roots.
6. When planting, the bushes are immediately tied to a vertical support and fixed as they grow.
7. The soil under the plants is mulched with chopped grass or straw. This allows moisture to be retained in the soil longer, prevents splashes from splashing on bushes when watering, and retains heat well at night.

Prevention of diseases and pests

Compliance with agrotechnical measures will protect the culture from diseases and pests.

Tomatoes of the Orange Miracle variety have a strong immunity to such diseases:

• mosaic;
• rot;
• powdery mildew;
• brown spotting;
• late blight.

The variety is not afraid of spider mites, bears and aphids. Among the common fungal diseases affecting tomatoes, late blight is in the first place. It appears first with yellow and then brown spots on the foliage. In hot weather, the leaves begin to dry, and in cold weather, they rot. The fungus moves from the leaves to the stem, and later to the fruits.When vegetables are still green, they are more susceptible to disease.

For preventive purposes, use the drug "Fitosporin". It is a biological pesticide that contains beneficial bacteria and trace elements for plants. Many summer residents use this remedy to treat tomatoes for late blight and many other diseases. The drug destroys all pathogenic bacteria with the help of beneficial microorganisms by penetrating into plant tissues. This product is biologically safe. It works well with other chemicals.

For your information. "Fitosporin" is used for both prophylaxis and treatment of the disease.

To prepare a solution in 10 liters of water, add 2 tsp. facilities. You will also need a non-metallic container and warm water (no more than 35 ° C). The product must be kept in the sun for 1-2 hours to activate beneficial bacteria.

Processing is carried out during the season every 10 days; if it rained, right after it. Also, vegetable growers use similar bacteriological preparations:

• Baikal-EM;
• "Fitoftorin";
• "Baktofit";
• Planriz.

The compositions and methods of use for the preparations are approximately the same.

The variety is resistant to infectious diseases, which means that disinfecting measures can be carried out with a preventive purpose.

The main enemy of the variety is the Colorado potato beetle. It begins to parasitize the plant at the moment when it is just forming.

Folk remedies for getting rid of the parasite:

1. A piece of laundry soap and 100 g of ground red pepper are stirred in 10 liters of water. The resulting solution is sprayed with tomato tops.
2. 1 kg of wood ash is stirred in 10 liters of water, allowed to brew for a day, then laundry soap is added to the solution for stickiness. The tool is used to treat tomato bushes.
3. 500 g of tobacco is poured into 10 liters of water, infused for 24 hours and the tomatoes are sprayed with the resulting product. The procedure is repeated every 10-14 days.

In the fall, after harvesting, pieces of potatoes are laid out on the surface of the garden. The hungry beetle will definitely get to them. When the parasites stick to the tubers, they need to be pickled with any poison and removed from the site. So much fewer individuals will remain for the winter.

Spraying with wormwood or garlic infusion inhibits plant development. Therefore, you should not get carried away with such processing.

The following drugs are considered the best modern insecticidal agents:

• "Killer";

• "Bombardier";
• "Karate".
