The timing of planting seedlings and planting in the ground
Sowing of seeds is carried out depending on the region and climate: in the northern regions 40-60 days before the end of spring frosts, and in the southern ones - 40 days. In addition, the planned planting time is taken into account, as well as the type of cultivation facility.
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
Seeds are usually sown in the second or third decade of March. Before germination, the soil must be kept under a film cover. The recommended temperature range is 22-24 ° C above zero. The pick is carried out in a 0.5 liter container. The hardening period is 1 week.
Tomatoes are planted at a distance of 45 centimeters. In this case, there should be at least 70-80 centimeters between the rows, and 80-100 centimeters between the ribbons. The result is approximately 3 bushes per 1 square meter.
Growing and care
Before planting seedlings in the greenhouse at a level of two meters, it is recommended to stretch the wire. Shoots must be planted strictly vertically, sprinkling the plants with soil a little. They should not be buried deep in the ground. After the entire crop is planted, it must be watered - the professionals advise the way to nourish. It will help not to stain the bushes that did not have time to get stronger and not to nail them to the ground.
An important step is the garter. It is carried out using a vertical trellis, forming a rope loop on the stem of the shoot. Then, every 7 days, the top of the shoot must be twisted around the twine, which was previously fixed on the stretched wire. In this case, it is imperative to remove the stepsons so that they do not grow more than 5 centimeters.
Watering the bushes by sprinkling is unacceptable - this leads to fungal diseases. Watering frequency depends on the condition of the shoots. The most important thing is to avoid wilting. Top dressing is also important in the cultivation of the Diva. During the formation of fruits, the concentration of nutrients must be increased by one and a half times. Do not forget about the airing of greenhouses, as well as about the fight against insect pests and diseases that tomatoes are susceptible to.
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.
