The timing of planting seedlings and planting in the ground
The seeds are planted in a special tomato substrate. In the southern regions - from mid-February to early March, in the middle lane - from mid-March to early April, in the northern climate - from early April. Before planting, the seeds are disinfected in a solution of potassium permanganate and soaked in Fitosporin for several hours. Seedlings are kept at a temperature of 18-20 degrees, the length of daylight hours is about 14 hours. Watered with warm settled water under the root, fed every 2 weeks with vermicompost.
They dive at the stage of 1-2 of this leaf; for seedlings, take containers of at least 300 ml. Seedlings are planted in the ground at the age of 50-60 days from the end of April to June, when the soil warms up enough. 2 weeks before planting, nutrient soil for tomatoes is poured with a layer of 25 cm on the garden bed. Organic and mineral additives are added to the planting holes, spilled with a solution of potassium permanganate. For each seedling, a support is installed or tied to a trellis.
During the season, fertilizers are applied several times: for the first time, after 2 weeks, they are fed with complex mineral fertilizers, then organic and mineral fertilizers are alternated every 2 weeks, during the flowering period, the drug "NPK 5-10-10" is applied, when the first fruits appear - potassium compounds.
Growing tomato seedlings is an extremely important process, because it largely depends on whether the gardener will be able to harvest at all. All aspects must be taken into account, from seedbed preparation to planting in the ground.
Landing scheme
For 1 sq. m planted 3 bushes at a distance of 40 cm from each other.
Growing and care
The miracle of the garden is considered an uncomplicated culture in agricultural technology. The bush is formed into 1-2 trunks. A large number of flowers are formed on the plants, so it is recommended to remove some of the inflorescences. They begin to go to sleep in July. It is carried out every 7-10 days, removing shoots that have reached a length of 7-8 cm. On the day when pinching is carried out, do not water. In the second half of summer, they stop removing leaves and shoots. After the appearance of 5-6 fruit brushes, pinch the top.
A favorable microclimate is created in the greenhouse: the air temperature should not exceed +30 degrees, the humidity level should be in the range of 50-70%. When the temperature rises, the greenhouses are ventilated, and the open beds are shaded.
It is imperative to tie up the stems and fruit brushes, otherwise the harvest will be lost. The variety is considered self-pollinating, but for better ovary formation, it is recommended to shake the stems during flowering. The variety prefers moderate watering.
Mulch beds are watered and loosened every 7-10 days, if there is no layer of mulch, then 2-3 times every 7 days.
A plant needs different micronutrients at each stage of growth. All fertilizers can be divided into two groups: mineral and organic. Folk remedies are often used: iodine, yeast, bird droppings, eggshells.
It is important to observe the rate and period of feeding. This also applies to folk remedies and organic fertilizers.
Disease and pest resistance
Drought tolerant and light shade. Tomatoes are tied even with temperature changes and changing weather.
Resistant to adverse weather conditions
Differs in high immunity, but can be affected by brown spot or tobacco mosaic virus.When signs of a virus appear, it is recommended to cut off diseased shoots, treat the cut with potassium permanganate, spray it with Barrier and Zaslon preparations. The preparations "Hom", "Ordan" help against late blight. The variety is resistant to verticillium.
Of the pests, Colorado beetles, slugs, caterpillars, aphids, and a bear are dangerous. For prevention, spray it several times with soapy water, sprinkle with ash. Whitefly is treated with Confidor.
Growing regions
Grown throughout Russia: in the northern regions only under a film, often heated, in the middle lane in open and closed ground, in the south - in ordinary beds.
