Seedlings are planted according to the scheme 30x50 cm. Further, the culture should be often watered with water in a small amount every 3-4 days. The older the plant becomes, the more often it requires moisture. Adult bushes are watered every day in large portions. It is important to loosen the soil after irrigation and weed out.

The hybrid needs three feedings per season. The first is applied a couple of weeks after transplanting to the site, during this period organic matter with nitrogen, for example, a solution of mullein or bird droppings, is suitable. After 20 days, mineral mixtures are added to this composition. Another top dressing is applied at the beginning of head formation - this time, mineral compositions containing potassium and phosphorus are used.

Use insecticides to protect your crop from harmful insects. When the heads are formed, the chemical preparations must be canceled and replaced with homemade means, for example, soapy water, a decoction of tomato tops or onion-garlic decoction.
