How to grow seedlings

Sowing seeds for seedlings begins 2 months before planting in the ground. Before sowing, a mandatory disinfection of the seed is carried out.

Seed preparation

Seeds are carefully examined for visible damage by spreading them out on the table. Light and even grains are placed in a saline solution to select seeds suitable for sowing. Those that surfaced are disposed of. Then they are placed in a solution of pink potassium permanganate for 20 minutes. Thus, the seed is decontaminated. After disinfection, the seeds are washed with running water.

To improve germination, the seed is soaked in a growth stimulator for 12 hours. The most common drugs are Epin and Zircon. Also, instead of them, ordinary boiled or melt water is used as a stimulant.

reference! Growth stimulants contain a large amount of useful substances, including biologically active ones, which affect seed germination.

Capacity and soil

Nutritious and fertile soil is prepared from garden soil, peat, humus and river sand. All components are thoroughly mixed, the resulting mixture is disinfected in a solution of dark potassium permanganate.Disinfection of the soil is necessary, since the soil contains a large number of pathogenic microorganisms, due to which seedlings can get sick.

After disinfection, the soil is laid out in planting containers, filling them halfway. In the future, as the seedlings grow, the soil is poured into containers so that young plants receive the required amount of nutrients.

Drainage holes are made at the bottom of the containers so that excess moisture does not stagnate in the containers... You can plant in a common wooden box or in a separate container, for example, peat or plastic cups.

Sowing

The seeds are sown to a depth of 1 cm with a distance of 3 cm from each other, sprinkled with peat on top, compacted and watered with warm, settled water using a spray bottle. The planting containers are covered with foil and left in a warm and bright room at a temperature of 25 ° C. Periodically, the film is removed for ventilation and, as necessary, the topsoil is moistened.

Seedling care

When the first shoots appear, the containers are rearranged on the windowsill to give the sprouts better illumination. Daylight hours for seedlings are at least 13 hours, therefore, if necessary, install additional lighting.

reference! To prevent the sprouts from curving, the containers are periodically turned to the light on different sides.

Water with moderately warm, settled water with a shallow watering can. After watering, the ground is gently loosened. Watering only as the top layer of the soil dries up, if the ground is wet, you do not need to water. Tomato does not like excess moisture and slows down development.

When 2 true leaves appear, the seedlings are dived, seated in separate containers. After picking, the plants grow lateral roots, which contributes to intensive development. When breeding seedlings in peat cups, picking is not required. In addition, during growth, seedlings receive additional nutrition from the peat walls of the containers.

reference! During the pick, the bushes are fed with liquid fertilizer for tomato seedlings to form a strong stem.

2 weeks before planting, the seedlings begin to harden, leaving them outside for 40 minutes - 1 hour... Gradually this time is increased to 12 hours. Simultaneously with the daytime hardening, the night temperature in the room is reduced to 13 ° C.

How to grow tomatoes

After 2 months, the seedlings are ready for transplantation. It is important that the soil has time to warm up to 15 ° C. If the soil temperature has not reached this mark, the transplant should be postponed. In cold soil, seedlings will not grow, and young roots can rot.

Landing

They are transplanted into shallow holes, on the bottom of which a little mineral fertilizers are preliminarily placed and filled with water. After planting, the land is compacted, watered again and the young bushes are left to adapt to new conditions within 7-9 days. During this time, they are not watered or fed.

Planting scheme: 50 cm - distance between bushes, 60 cm - distance between rows. For 1 sq. m place no more than 4 plants.

reference! If the rules of crop rotation are observed, yield increases and soil fertility is preserved. The tomato crop is recommended to be planted in the land where it used to grow: cabbage, carrots, legumes and onions.

Further care of the tomato Pretty

Regular watering set as the seedlings get used to the new place. Watered no more than 2 times a week, with settled water, strictly at the root. The culture does not like sprinkling, moreover, the leaves can get serious burns.

reference! Sprinkling is a type of irrigation in which water is sprayed onto the plant and the ground in the form of rain.

After watering, the soil is loosened and weeds are removed with roots. If weeds are not removed from the beds, they will draw out nutrients from the soil that are necessary for the full development of young tomatoes. Loosening the soil provides better oxygenation.

To retain moisture in their beds mulch straw.This is especially necessary on dry days so that the beds do not dry out. After drying, weeds can be used as mulch. When rotting, it will nourish the root system with nutrients. And if the weeds are poured with water and left in the sun for fermentation, you get a strong infusion to repel insect pests.

Culture responds well to application top dressing. Fertilize with a full range of minerals or organic matter... From organic matter, an infusion of mullein or bird droppings is used in a ratio of 1:15. For the entire growing season, 3-4 dressings are applied: during flowering, during the formation of ovaries and at the time of fruiting. Potassium salts are added to the last dressing for faster pouring of the fruit.

Features in care and possible difficulties

Low-growing plants practically do not require pinning due to the small number of shoots. Only the lower leaves are removed to exclude the possibility of spreading fungal infections.

To form a strong and even stem, a wooden or metal support is installed next to each bush during transplantation, to which the stem and fruitful branches are fixed as they grow. Also, a timely garter provides ventilation of the plants, which prevents the development of fungal spores. In addition, the recorded plants will not suffer from wind gusts or precipitation.

Diseases and pests

Despite the culture's resistance to disease, do not forget about the necessary preventive measures. This becomes especially important if potatoes or other crops of the Solanaceae family are planted nearby.

Prevention includes: systematic loosening, moderate watering, removing weeds and cultivating the earth with copper sulfate. Copper sulfate not only prevents the development of the disease, but also fights against it. Also, Fitosporin helps in the fight against fungus.

Insect pests - another serious enemy of the tomato crop, capable of causing significant damage. In the fight against them, chemical and folk remedies are used. When using chemistry, it is worth remembering the limited period of their use: only before the beginning of flowering. Traditional methods help throughout the growing season.

Folk methods include:

• decoctions of onion peel and garlic;
• treatment of stems with soapy water;
• planting pungent-smelling herbs next to tomatoes.

All these methods will protect the crop from most dangerous parasitic insects, such as whitefly, aphids, slugs and the Colorado potato beetle. And daily inspection of bushes for the presence of pests will prevent their reproduction.

The nuances of cultivation in the open field and in the greenhouse

They are transplanted into the greenhouse two weeks earlier than on open beds. Due to the high humidity, plants are planted less often, placing them on 1 sq. m no more than 3 seedlings. This helps the seedlings to evenly ventilate and receive the necessary amount of light for full development.

Protected structures must be regularly ventilated to prevent the development of fungal infections.

When growing tomatoes in regions with a temperate climate, do not forget about sudden drops in temperature, prolonged rains or prolonged drought. Despite the plant's ability to quickly adapt to any weather conditions, you should not abuse this feature - use a covering material if necessary.

In the open ground, beds for tomatoes are chosen in a sunny, but protected from drafts place. When airing greenhouses, you should also avoid creating a strong draft.

Harvesting and application of the crop

It is not necessary to wait for the vegetables to fully ripen - they are able to ripen on their own at room temperature.

The use of ripe vegetables is universal: thanks to their excellent taste, they make excellent salads, hot and vegetable dishes, freshly squeezed juices. Tomatoes are good for roasting with meat and in pizza.The small size of the fruits allows them to be used for canning, pickles and pickles. They do not lose their taste in processed products: ketchup, lecho, adjika.

Ripe tomatoes are stored for a long time and can withstand long transportation without losing their appearance.
