How to grow and care

To get a rich harvest of tomatoes, you need to know how to care for them and follow all growing rules.

To get seedlings, tomato seeds are processed in a manganese solution and are stuck into the ground 2 cm deep. When the first true leaves appear on the seedlings, they are transplanted into a large container.

A mixture prepared from equal parts of peat, sand and earth is best suited as a soil. You can also use a store-bought tomato mix.

Important! When using homemade soil for planting tomatoes, it is pre-disinfected with a manganese solution.

2 months after sowing, the seedlings are planted in a greenhouse. No more than 4 plants are placed on one square meter.

In heated greenhouses, crops can be planted as early as April.For planting in open ground or greenhouses without a heating system, you should wait until late May - early June. It is recommended to harden the plant a week before planting: keep at a temperature of -1 ° C for no more than a day.

The planted plants must be tied up using a horizontal or vertical method. Then the plant is regularly watered and the soil is loosened.

Loosening promotes the supply of oxygen to the roots of tomatoes, which is necessary for this variety. The soil is loosened once every 3-4 days.

Watering should be abundant but infrequent. The plant is watered twice a week with warm water. Cold water negatively affects plant growth. A good time for watering is early morning or late evening. The amount of water is increased during the period of bud formation, flowering and fruit ripening.

When growing plants in a greenhouse or greenhouse, high humidity should be avoided. It should not exceed 70%. For this purpose, airing is carried out.

Important! The beds with planted tomatoes must be weeded regularly (at least once every 2 weeks), removing weeds.

The introduction of fertilizers with minerals also plays an important role in the proper development of the plant. For the entire growing season, it is enough to add top dressing 2-3 times. For the first time, organic fertilizers are used. In the second and third - fertilizers containing phosphorus and potassium.

Top dressing "Aelita - vegetable" has become widespread. It contains minerals for growth. Nitrogen feeding for tomatoes Money bag is not required. It is applied only in cases where the plant grows poorly.

After the fruits appear on the bushes, additional dressings are made to ensure proper nutrition. It is recommended to water the tomatoes with a self-prepared solution. To obtain it, take freshly cut nettle, place it in a large container, and fill it with warm water. A tightly closed container should stand for several days. Then the solution can already be used. A liter of this solution is added to a bucket of water and the tomatoes are watered.

It is also recommended to spray the plants with a solution of iodine, sulfuric acid or yeast. Thus, the plant is protected from infection.

Important! Once a week, the lowest leaves of each flower cluster are removed. They are neatly cut. This promotes fruit growth.

Prevention of diseases and pests

When larvae, caterpillars or aphids appear on the leaves, they are treated with special chemicals. It is important not to harm the plant itself. For processing, a solution of copper sulfate is used.
