How to properly grow a tomato in a greenhouse and in the open field

It is recommended to prepare 60-65 days before planting seedlings. This requires:

1. Purchase seeds from gardening stores. Pay attention to the manufacturer and carefully read the data on the variety on the package.
2. Prepare the container. Both wooden boxes and plastic pots are suitable for seedlings. The main thing is that the container is dry and clean. You can also purchase special containers at the store.
3. Prepare the soil. Today manufacturers offer a wide range of ready-to-use mixtures. They already contain all the necessary substances and trace elements. For example, a mixture of "Strong" or "Baby".

Planting seedlings is a mandatory step. During this time, the seeds are nourished and develop immunity. Seedlings are kept in a bright and warm place.

During water sprouts, it is also recommended to apply organic fertilizers. In addition, growth stimulants are introduced. Next, we will consider the features of growing tomatoes in different conditions.

Important! Even purchased seeds are best disinfected. To do this, use hydrogen peroxide or mustard.

In the greenhouse

Grow a variety in greenhouse conditions recommended for gardeners in the middle zone of the country and in the northern regions. This is due to the fact that these areas are characterized by sharp climate changes, prolonged absence of sun and heat, and high humidity.

Before planting, it is necessary to disinfect the soil - both with the help of special means and with the help of folk methods. For example, treat the ground with an ash-based solution - this will help to kill the remnants of past infections, and prevent the development of diseases in the future. In addition to the soil, it is also mandatory to disinfect all hard surfaces in the greenhouse - especially walls and doors.

Important! After planting, the first thing to do is water the bushes with warm water. Be careful not to get water on the foliage - otherwise there is a risk of late blight infection. Since the greenhouse is characterized by high humidity, periodically ventilate it.

In the open field

Landing under the open sky is no different from landing in a greenhouse. The soil must also be treated with special solutions in advance. In addition, it is recommended to apply fertilizers in advance - for example, humus and foliage. Such a composition will enrich the land with the necessary substances, which will have a positive effect on the future harvest.

It is recommended to fight the bear with the "Cuts" - the medicine is made on the basis of millet. The grains of "Rubita" are laid out in holes and covered with earth. Medvedki are eliminated in 1-2 weeks after application. Among gardeners, the drug is very popular;
• the whitefly looks like a small white moth. The cause of the appearance is often high humidity and heat. They fight the parasite with folk remedies: infusion of chamomile, dandelion, yarrow. Treat bushes with a mixture - this simple method will eliminate the insect and keep the beds intact;
• the wireworm can destroy most of the crop. As a prevention of its appearance, add chalk, lime and ash to the soil in advance. If the parasite has already appeared, it is recommended to use ammonium sulfate or ammonia water. Simple - scatter eggshells around the garden throughout the summer.

Diseases should be distinguished:

• late blight... The fungus is capable of destroying most of your crop. It appears as brown spots on the leaves. It is best to fight the fungus with the help of professional means - "Quadris", "Previkur", "Kuproksat".To prevent the disease, gardeners are advised to carry out prophylaxis - fertilize the plant on time, monitor the irrigation regime, disinfect the soil;
