Agricultural principles

Pink Paradise is grown by seedlings. Seeds do not need to be disinfected before sowing, since the manufacturer has taken care of this. Soaking in a growth stimulator for 10-12 hours will help to increase germination. Suitable for "Ecoel", "Novosil", "Zircon", "Epin-extra". Since this is a hybrid, not a variety, it will not work to collect the seed on your own - you will have to buy a new batch every year.

Sowing begins in late February or early March, 60–65 days before planting seedlings in the ground. The substrate should be light and nutritious: a mixture of turf with black soil and humus.

Any capacity is suitable: cups, plastic containers, pots. The main thing is that there are holes at the bottom to drain excess water. The seed is immersed in moist soil 1.5 cm, sprinkled on top with a layer of soil and cover the container with a film to create a greenhouse effect. After the sprouts appear, they are placed in a well-lit place. Seeds hatch at temperatures not lower than +25 ° C.

After the shoots appear, the film is removed. Watering is carried out as the soil dries, preferably from a hand sprayer. A pick into separate cups is carried out after the formation of 2-3 true leaves. Seedlings are fertilized with complex fertilizing.

Advice! To increase the resistance of sprouts before planting in a greenhouse or open ground, a mandatory hardening procedure is carried out. To do this, the seedlings are taken out into fresh air for 2-3 hours.

Disembarkation and care

The seedlings are transferred to the soil after warm weather sets in. It all depends on the climatic zone and the sowing time. This often happens in the first or second decade of May.

Before disembarking the land is loosened and brought in fertilizer... The holes are dug at a depth of 10-15 cm. The distance between the bushes is 50 cm. The planted plants are immediately tied to supports.

After 7 days, nitrogen fertilization is applied. Then they switch to potassium-phosphorus fertilizer during the formation of ovaries and ripening of fruits.

Advice! Experienced gardeners are advised to periodically shake the bushes to improve the pollination process.

Tomatoes watered moderately, remembering that the culture does not like excess moisture. Top dressing is applied only 3-4 times during the entire growing season. Succinic acid is used to stimulate growth.

Bushes periodically stepchild, trying to form one stem.

Preventive measures

Cultivation of the Pink Paradise hybrid is not difficult.... The plant has immunity to verticillium, fusarium, cladosporium, mosaic virus, brown spot and nematode at the genetic level. Subject to the rules for caring for tomatoes, the number of treatments is significantly reduced.

Before planting seedlings, the holes are disinfected with copper sulfate or potassium permanganate... Greens are irrigated with "Fitosporin", "Mikosan" or "Fitolavin" to choose from. The action of biological products is aimed at combating the fungus.

When grown outdoors, it is recommended to spray with fungicides to prevent late blight... Such treatments are especially important during the period of prolonged rains. Irrigation is repeated every 14 days and stopped 2 weeks before harvesting.
