Features of cultivation and care

To obtain seedlings of tomatoes, seeds are sown after May 15 in containers filled with loose substrate. To create a greenhouse effect, the container is covered on top with a piece of glass or film. After the shoots break through, the shelter is removed, the box is placed in a lighted place and the temperature is reduced by several degrees. In a cool environment, the sprouts do not stretch.

The following manipulations for tomatoes include:

• Water. Tomatoes are one of those crops that are afraid of high humidity. To prevent the development of fungal diseases, plants are watered abundantly, but rarely. Under the condition of a dry summer, the bushes are watered once a week. Water consumption per adult plant is 3-4 liters. After each watering or heavy rain, the soil is loosened, and the bushes are lightly spudded.
• Dive. Plants are transplanted from a large container into separate pots at the age of 2-3 true leaves, and to a permanent place - after the formation of 5 leaves.
• Staging and garter. The best scheme for growing a high-yielding variety is the formation of one or two stems. In the first case, all lateral processes are removed, in the second, two stems are left. To prevent the plant from getting sick, stepchildren are removed gradually. Tie plants to metal or wooden pegs immediately after they take root in a permanent place.
• Feeding. In the first period of development, tomatoes are fed with organic or mineral fertilizers with a balanced amount of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. After the plants enter the flowering and fruiting phase, only mixtures are applied, which consist mainly of potassium and phosphorus. Top dressing is carried out at intervals of 2 weeks.
