Vegetable culture is high-yielding. From one square meter of the plot, 6.5 to 7 kilograms of vegetables are harvested. Such high results can be achieved only with proper cultivation and compliance with all conditions of agricultural technology.

Sowing seeds for seedlings should be done about 2 months (50-60 days) before the young plants are planted in open ground or in a greenhouse. The recommended dates are from March 20 to April 10. For germination, choose soil with organic additives such as peat, compost or manure.

To avoid picking and not to damage young plants during transplanting, you can immediately germinate the seed in separate containers. Otherwise, you will need to carry out the planting as soon as 1-2 true leaves appear on the seedling. When growing seedlings, the seeds are deepened into the ground by 0.5 centimeters. The seedlings should receive enough light, whether it be natural sunlight or artificial light.

Regular and moderate watering is also of great importance. Containers with seedlings are irrigated only when the soil dries out. Excess moisture will negatively affect the condition of the root system. Nutrient dressings are also used. Plants are fertilized 2-3 times throughout the growing period using complex fertilizers.

In order for young plants to quickly adapt to a new place, they should be hardened in advance. This is done about 7 days before planting the bushes in the ground. So the tomatoes will get used to the new temperature regime and will fully develop.

As for planting plants in the ground, manufacturers recommend dates from May 15 to July 5. The weather conditions in the area must be taken into account. The selected area is pre-prepared. It should be cleaned and dug up, removing weeds. When transplanting, the earthen lump is left intact, and each plant is placed in a separate hole. After planting, the bushes are watered abundantly.

On one square meter of the site, you can germinate from 4 to 5 bushes. Leave a gap of 0.5 meters between the plants.

For a high-yielding variety, you need to choose the right future cultivation place. The tomato loves bright, but soft and diffused light. It is advisable to abandon the beds in the shade, since the lack of sunlight has a bad effect on the quality and quantity of the crop. It is important that the site is not located in a lowland, which can cause stagnant moisture. Dampness provokes the development of the fungus, and also often causes the death of the plant.

To saturate the soil with useful substances and trace elements, green manures are sown at the site of growing future tomatoes. They not only enrich the soil, but also protect the plants of the Solanaceae family from infections and diseases.

Tomatoes should be fed regularly. The minimum amount of fertilization is 2 times per season. If possible, it is advisable to make special formulations 1-2 times a week. Complex fertilizers have a positive effect on the fruiting and taste of vegetables.

Experienced summer residents are advised to make a choice in favor of complex feeding. The drug nitrophoska, which is rich in phosphorus, nitrogen and potassium, has become widespread. These elements are essential for the healthy growth of tomatoes. And you can also use organic matter (ash, horse manure or bird droppings).
