Variety features

Mobile, like other representatives of tomatoes, belongs to heat-loving plants and is favorable to light. Prefers light fertile soils. It is possible to grow tomatoes both by planting seedlings and by sowing seeds in the ground.

Seeds can be purchased at specialized retail outlets or harvested from your own crop - for this you should leave the largest fruits of the correct form to ripen on the bush. Then the ripe vegetable is placed near the window so that the tomato softens. In the next step, the tomato is cut and the seeds are selected in a bowl of water. After a while, they are taken out and dried. Store until spring in a paper envelope.

Sowing seeds for growing seedlings occurs around mid-March - early April.

Before planting, the seeds are treated with a light solution of potassium permanganate, and then rinsed in running water to disinfect. The soil should be calcined in an oven or watered with a weak solution of manganese.

Seeds are laid out in the grooves made to a depth of 2 cm. The earth must be thoroughly moistened. Then the container is covered with foil and placed in a warm place where the temperature is +22 - 24 degrees.

After the appearance of 2-3 true leaves on plants, a dive is carried out. The seedlings are carefully removed from the container and immediately transplanted into another container. Picked seedlings can be planted in separate pots made of peat or pressed cardboard - such containers can be placed in open ground without removing the planted plants from them. This can speed up the establishment of seedlings in the soil. With this planting, the root system does not suffer from possible damage.

During the period of growing tomato seedlings, the soil in the container is fertilized twice. Top dressing is carried out using mineral fertilizers.About 7 days before planting seedlings in the soil, it is hardened. To do this, the plants are taken out to a cooler place or, if the temperature allows, they are left for some time in the open air.

When the tomatoes reach the age of 60 days, seedlings are planted in open ground or a greenhouse. A handful of humus and wood ash are added to carefully watered holes.

The seedling is placed in the hole and sprinkled with soil. Make sure that the main stem of the tomato is immersed in the soil 2 - 4 cm lower than when it grew in a pot. This will strengthen the root system, which will provide intensive nutrition and, as a result, faster growth and better fruiting.

Leave 30 - 40 cm between bushes in a row, and about 70 cm between rows. You can plant plants in a checkerboard pattern with a distance of 60 cm between bushes and rows. For 1 sq. m you can plant up to 6 tomato bushes of this variety.

Caring for planted tomatoes

Caring for a planted tomato is not complicated: it consists in timely watering, removing weeds, fertilizing and regular loosening of the soil (“dry watering”). Bushes are recommended to be tied to supports, regularly cut off stepchildren. It is necessary to ensure that the tomatoes have one main stem.

As stated in the description, Mobile tomatoes successfully resist diseases. Insect control can be done using insecticides or folk remedies.
