How to grow a quality crop?
Planting description: we plant the seedlings in sunlit areas with fertile soil. The optimum air temperature is from 20 degrees during the day and from 16 degrees at night. Add humus to the soil in the beds and dig it up. If fertilizers are applied in the fall, then in the spring we simply fertilize it with organic fertilizing.
The plants are planted in a checkerboard pattern, with the distance between the seedlings being 40-60 centimeters. A hole is dug, the plant sits down, the hole is filled up and watered with warm water. Pour at least one liter of liquid under each bush. All the tomatoes are planted.
Proper care of tomato plants
We carry out proper plant care and harvest a rich harvest of ripe and beautiful tomatoes. For this you need:
- water the bushes;
- carry out pinching;
- weed the soil thoroughly;
- tie up the bushes in a timely manner;
- loosen the ground around the stems;
- inspect plants for the first signs of disease.
You need to water the bushes in dry weather during the ripening of the fruits almost every day. After irrigation, the soil is loosened. This is to prevent the growth of fungus and retain moisture. Bushes are tied up 3 times per season, constantly grabbing heavy bunches of tomatoes. Since the bush is tall, it must be tied to the crossbar for easy plant care.
Grasshopping is the removal of excess processes formed in the leaf axils. If this procedure is not carried out, the bush will grow into a green mass, the tomatoes will not ripen. If stains, fungi, darkening of fruits and other manifestations of diseases are found on plants, it is necessary to disinfect the beds with plantings.
Tomato Gravity f1 responds gratefully to care and will thank you with a rich harvest of juicy tomatoes.
