How to grow seedlings

Seedlings begin to grow 60 days before transplanting them into the ground. In terms of sowing seeds, it falls in mid-March - early April. First, the seeds are disinfected by soaking in a weak solution of potassium permanganate for 30 minutes. Then the dried seeds are left in a growth promoter for 10 hours. This significantly increases germination, besides, the sprouts will be less susceptible to diseases.

The soil is made from a mixture of garden soil with old peat or humus. A light nutritious soil is suitable for this variety, therefore, a small amount of washed river sand is added to the soil for ease.

Any container is suitable for sowing seeds, at the bottom of which drainage is poured in the form of crushed eggshell or small pebbles. The soil is poured on top of the drainage and the grains are laid in grooves 2 cm deep.

After sowing, the ground is leveled from above, watered from a watering can, cover the containers with foil and put them in a dark and warm room where the temperature does not drop below 22 ° C. In this case, it is necessary to control the condition of the soil and to water if necessary.

reference... For greater germination, seeds are germinated for several days in damp gauze.

When the first shoots appear, the seedlings are rearranged in a sunny place, but not in direct sunlight. To extend daylight hours, artificial lighting lamps are used. Tomato needs a long day of light, at least 18 hours.

A pick is carried out when two true leaves appear, planting the sprouts in individual containers. At this moment, the first feeding with full complex fertilizer is needed.

Tempering is carried out 2 weeks before planting the seedlings in the ground. Hardening of seedlings is especially important in the northern regions, otherwise the sprouts will adapt for a long time to the main growing area. Seedlings are taken out daily. Start at 2 o'clock, gradually increasing to 1 day. At the same time, the night temperature in the room where the seedlings are brought in at night drops to + 13 ° C.

reference... You can buy tomato seeds Podsinskoe Chudo in most specialized stores.

How to grow tomatoes

Young tomatoes are planted in the ground no earlier than the second half of May, when the air temperature does not drop below + 14 ° C. Before planting, the soil is mixed with manure or bird droppings. Weak bushes are fed with complexes of nitrogen fertilizers before transplanting.

reference... Since nitrogen fertilization affects growth, tall plants do not need to be fed with them. Fertilize only underdeveloped seedlings.

For 1 sq. m, no more than 3 seedlings are planted, since thickening leads to a decrease in yield. The permissible distance between them is 50-60 cm.

The transplanted bushes are watered with warm, settled water under the root and covered with foil. Water the second time no earlier than 6 days later. After watering, the soil is loosened and weeds and roots are removed. To keep the soil moist longer, the beds are mulched with straw. But do not forget that waterlogging of the soil leads to cracking of the fruit and a decrease in taste.

Top dressing is carried out three times per season: during flowering, fruit setting and ripening. Mineral complexes or organics are suitable as fertilizers. Organic matter - mullein infusion - is carefully diluted with water so as not to burn the root system. Also, the culture responds well to drip irrigation.

Active plant growth and branching of bushes require mandatory garters... For this, wooden stakes or metal rods are installed next to each bush.

Another prerequisite for leaving is pinching. Remove all stepchildren, forming a plant in 1 or 2 stems. In high bushes, pinch the top. This simple method helps to avoid further growth of tomatoes.

Diseases and pests

There is a certain resistance to the main diseases of the Solanaceae family. But in greenhouse conditions, seedlings can be affected by apical, basal and gray rot. In the fight against mold, disinfection of the soil before planting tomatoes and systematic airing of the greenhouse are effective. Treatment of plants with Fitosporin and other non-toxic biological products will also help get rid of mold.

To keep the seedlings from phytophthora, plantings are treated with copper-containing preparations. If, nevertheless, late blight dominated your beds, the affected parts of the plants should be cut off and burned.

Pests from the insect world is another attack on tomato crops. Medvedka, aphids, spider mites, slugs, Colorado potato beetle can cause considerable damage to culture. In the fight against them, both chemical and folk methods are used. But do not forget that the use of chemistry is possible only before the flowering period. But folk methods are good throughout the growing season. They are no less effective and, unlike insecticides, cause less harm to crop development.

Medvedka - a serious destroyer of the root system. It is difficult to spot it as it moves underground.Fragrant marigolds planted next to tomatoes will help scare her away. She also dislikes the smell of garlic and fish. Therefore, if you bury fish heads and chopped cloves of garlic in the beds, the bear will bypass them.

Colorado potato beetle and slugs harvested by handby regularly examining the bushes for pests. Treatment of bushes with soapy water saves from aphids. The main thing is that it does not fall on the ground. Onion peel decoction helps from other pests that harm vegetable crops. Also, the stems are sprayed with an aqueous solution of ammonia.

The nuances of growing in a greenhouse and in the open field

Despite the fact that the variety is recommended for breeding throughout the territory of our country, the conditions for its growth are not the same everywhere. On open beds, the highest fruiting rate is in Krasnodar or Crimea. In Siberia and temperate latitudes, it will please with a rich harvest, being under the film.

The advantages of open ground are that the variety is less prone to growth in height and width here. But on the street, attacks from insects most often occur.

In a greenhouse, on the contrary, the probability of attack by pests is least of all, but here the threat of mold damage remains.

Regardless of where it grows, proper care will help keep your culture healthy, which is essential for full growth and development.
