Features of care

Like any cultivated plant, bushes require careful handling:

1. Alternating cycles of watering, drying and loosening the soil.
2. Timely weeding and top dressing will lead the gardener to a record yield result.
3. We grow tomatoes in dark places - tomatoes love sunlight very much.
4. Feeding is carried out during the entire life of the plant, but no more than 4-5 times per season.
5. After planting the seedlings, do not forget to water the tops for several days until they take root and turn a he althy, bright green color.
6. Let's organize irrigation grooves in advance so that the entire root system of the plant is washed, but the soil is not washed out.
7. Sprinkler irrigation is not recommended by experienced gardeners, although you can often read in the reviews: "I planted seedlings and organized such watering on cloudy days or in the evening."

How to deal with diseases

Despite their high immunity to disease, plants sometimes need help fighting off bacteria.

1. Top rot. May appear on top of green fruit. Tomatoes are treated with a solution of calcium nitrate in appropriate proportions. Usually one, maximum two treatments per season are sufficient.
2. Late blight is fought with a Bordeaux mixture based on a solution of lime and copper sulphate. The composition is quite aggressive, if the proportions are incorrectly selected, it can burn the fruits.

To test the composition, you can use any iron-containing product, such as a nail. When iron reacts with copper sulphate, the first turns bright red. In this case, add some lime to the solution and repeat the experiment after mixing.

Fruit cracking is mistakenly considered by many gardeners as a disease. The cause of this disease lies in excessive watering or feeding the plant. The active growth of fruits is stimulated, their structural characteristics change, but at the same time, tomatoes cannot provide themselves with the necessary elements. It is enough to change the watering regime, dry and fluff the soil, and plant growth returns to normal.

The danger for tomatoes in this case lies in the violation of the protective shell: bacteria easily penetrate into the cracks. Some of them can harm a person. It is best to remove such cracks before eating.

This variety of tomatoes is a welcome guest in any gardening household. Thanks to its unique qualities, the tomato is well-deservedly popular with agricultural lovers.
