How to grow seedlings

Sowing seeds begins 2 months before planting seedlings in the ground... Pre-prepare the soil, consisting of an equal amount of sod land and humus. The prepared soil must be disinfected with boiling water or by roasting in the oven for 10 minutes. After cultivation, the land is poured into planting containers. You can plant it in common wooden boxes, and in individual containers: plastic glasses or peat pots.

Reference! Planting in a wooden box is the cheapest way to grow seedlings, and the most expensive is peat pots.

Before sowing, seeds, like the soil, are treated with disinfecting solutionsand. The simplest and most affordable option is saline. 1 g of salt is diluted in 100 ml of water and grains are placed in it for 1 day.

Reference! Grains sown in peat pots show the highest germination capacity.

Seeds are laid to a depth of 1 cm, the distance between them is 2 cm... Then they are covered with a small amount of soil and moistened with warm, settled water using a spray bottle. The containers are covered with foil and left in a dark and warm room at a temperature of 25 degrees.

After 3-4 days, the first shoots appear, after which the film is removed and the containers are rearranged in a lighted place... Daylight hours for seedlings should be at least 12 hours. If necessary, additional lighting is illuminated with phytolamps.

Water the seedlings as the top layer of the soil dries up... For watering, use warm, settled water, which moisten the edges of the nursery with tablespoons or a shallow watering can.

A pick is carried out when 2-3 true leaves appear... If the seedlings were planted in a common box, then during the pick they are seated in separate containers.

2 weeks before transplanting into the ground, the seedlings begin to harden... To do this, the planting containers are taken out into the street and left for 2-3 hours, gradually increasing this interval to 16 hours. In parallel with daytime hardening, the temperature in the room where the seedlings are located at night is reduced to 13 degrees.

How to grow tomatoes

After 60 days, the seedlings are ready for transplanting to the beds.... At this time, the height of the bushes is 20 cm, they have 5-7 true leaves and developed roots. The soil under the tomatoes is dug up and fertilized with compost or humus. Also, mineral fertilizers are applied in the amount of 20 g per 1 sq. m.

Landing scheme: 50 cm is the distance between seedlings, 60-65 cm is left between the rows.

Saplings are planted in a hole 20 cm deep, compact the soil and water abundantlyt. It is best to replant tomatoes in the evening or in cloudy weather.

Regular watering is established 10 days after transplanting... By this time, young bushes finally adapt to new conditions and grow. Watered sparingly, at the root, without falling on the leaves. The variety reacts sharply to both an excess of moisture and a lack of it.

With aridity, the leaves curl and the ovaries fall off, and waterlogging leads to a slowdown in growth and the spread of fungal diseases... Watered 1-2 times a week, in the morning or in the evening, with warm settled water.

After watering, the earth is loosened, spud and mulched... Loosening improves oxygen access to the roots, due to which the seedlings absorb nutrients well. Mulching the beds with straw or peat retains moisture in the beds, so the amount of watering can be reduced. In any case, you need to focus on weather conditions and soil moisture level.

The first top dressing is applied 2 weeks after transplanting... Phosphorus and potassium based dressings are used. As a rule, these are superphosphate and potassium sulfate. Phosphorus stimulates the development of plants and improves their immunity, while potassium improves the palatability of fruits. Such dressings are carried out once every 10 days. During flowering, the hybrid is sprayed with a solution of boric acid, at a dilution of 5 g per 5 liters.

The culture of pinching does not require, which greatly simplifies care, but it needs a mandatory garter... The shrub is undersized, but spreading, each fruitful cluster forms 4-5 fruits, and without a garter the branches cannot support the weight of ripe vegetables. As a support, trellises are installed next to each seedling and a wire is pulled between them to which the branches of the tomato are tied. Thus, the stem grows straight and strong, and the fruits do not reach the ground.

Diseases and pests

Tomato Tanya F1 is immune to the main diseases of the Solanaceae family, but there are times when there is a risk of infection from other cropsgrowing in the neighborhood. Therefore, any preventive measures will not be superfluous, no matter how strong the culture may have immunity.

Copper sulfate is used as a preventive measure... It disinfects plants and soil, which prevents the spread of fungal diseases, such as late blight. Control the level of humidity in the beds, water and loosen the soil in a timely manner, and regularly inspect the plantings for the presence of insects.

From folk remedies for the invasion of insects, spraying plants with decoctions of herbs - calendula, burdock, onion arrows... Sometimes a little potassium permanganate is added to such decoctions. Sharp-smelling plants planted next to tomatoes are also a preventive measure.

Attention! Hanging pheromone traps save from parasitic butterflies without harming other insects that are not pests.

The nuances of growing in open ground and in a greenhouse

The hybrid is recommended for breeding throughout the country.... In southern regions and in regions with a temperate climate, the tomato is planted in open ground. In areas where it is cold for a long time, the culture can take root only in greenhouses.

Tomato beds are chosen in a sunny place, protected from drafts.... If the summer is cool, you need to have a covering material on hand. Otherwise, the prolonged influence of negative weather factors will lead to a decrease in yield.

Since the branches of the tomato are spreading, in protected structures, the distance between the seedlings when planting is advised to leave more, to avoid thickening... Greenhouse plants are most likely to be affected by mold due to high humidity and air temperature. Therefore, the greenhouse must be regularly ventilated to avoid fungal diseases.

Spider mite is another scourge of the greenhouse... To protect against it, ventilate the greenhouse regularly.

Harvesting and application of the crop

Harvesting begins 2 months after planting seedlings in the ground... Fruiting is long, ripening is gradual, not amicable.

It is not necessary to wait for the vegetables to fully ripen... Unripe fruits will ripen on their own in a few days.

At a temperature of 12 degrees, the fruits are removed green, they will not be able to gain color on the beds, but quite capable of getting sick or rotting.

The purpose of the fruits is universal, they are used to prepare a huge number of dishes... Fresh they are used in salads, hot dishes, in baking. Do not lose their taste in pickles, marinades, small tomatoes are suitable for whole-fruit canning. The dense skin of a tomato is perfectly preserved during heat treatment. Also, juices, pasta and ketchup are made from tomato.

Ripe vegetables are subject to long-term storage and can withstand transportation to any pointwithout losing taste and presentation.
