How to grow good tomatoes

During the formation of seedlings of tomatoes, before picking, they are fertilized twice, with an interval of 7 days, with any liquid fertilizer for seedlings.

When transplanted to a permanent place, they are watered or the root system is dipped in Fitosporin solution, which prevents infection with fungal infections and feeds the plant with microelements.

Before planting, seedlings are inspected, and weak, diseased plants are thrown away.

Growing tomatoes includes watering, loosening, fertilizing bushes.

Irrigation features:

• Tomatoes should be watered with warm water at about 18-20 degrees, at least 15 degrees.
• Better if watering drip. If watering is not drip, then the water consumption depends on the age of the plant: from 5 to 10 liters under the root every 8-12 days.
• Watering must be alternated with loosening the soil under tomato bushes. So planting will be protected from the development of fungal diseases and optimal aeration of the plant will be ensured.

Tomatoes "Kazachka" for normal pollination, as well as fruit set, require humidity in the range of 65-70%. High humidity, in addition to the development of the fungus, leads to gluing of pollen, and pollination of tomatoes does not occur.

Reduced humidity, however, leads to the fact that the pollen scatters and does not fall on the pistil, in which case pollination also does not occur.

Tomatoes "Kazachka" are fertilized throughout the entire growing period. It is important that the top dressing of this variety is carried out in a timely manner, do not exceed the norm, otherwise you can ruin the plants.

Mulching the soil is good for plants. Mulch prevents the growth of weeds under the tomatoes, and also fertilizes and protects the soil under the bushes from drying out. With conventional, non-drip irrigation, mulching helps break up water droplets into smaller particles and better absorb them into the soil.
