Agrotechnology

The time of sowing seeds for seedlings depends on climatic conditions and the further habitat of tomatoes: in a greenhouse or in open ground. It is important to observe the timing of planting seedlings. Over-exposed, late-planted bushes will produce less fruit and may be less resistant to diseases and pests.

• Before sowing, it is recommended to soak the seeds for a couple of days, wrapped in cloth. This will allow you to count more friendly seedlings.
• Seedlings need to be provided with heat and light. The optimum temperature for emerging seedlings is 15-17 degrees, after a couple of weeks, when the shoots grow up, the temperature should be increased to 20-22 degrees.
• You should not pour seedlings, regular and moderate watering is enough.
• After the appearance of the first true leaves, the plants should be picked in separate containers.

Feeding seedlings is another important element of growing tomatoes. Feeding should be done every two to three weeks. If the seedling is not provided with the necessary nutrients, it will begin to stretch and become weak, which will certainly affect the yield.

For faster and painless adaptation after transplantation, plants need hardening in the fresh air. The main thing is not to leave the sprouts in a draft and not to overexpose in the cold.

"Bison orange" loves sunlight very much. Reviews of those who have already planted tomatoes of this variety assure: the more plants are in the sun, the sweeter the crop will be. Therefore, it is more profitable to plant it on the sunny side.

After the bushes are planted for permanent residence, they should immediately be tied up. And it is advisable to choose an additional support more reliable, since in the future, you will have to tie up the brushes so that they do not break under the weight of the fruit.

To grow he althy strong tomato plants, it is necessary to form bushes with a maximum of two trunks and to remove stepchildren.

You can't do without the usual procedures that are necessary for the normal development of all varieties of tomatoes: regular watering and loosening the soil, with periodic hilling.
