Varietal features
Mobile, like other representatives of tomatoes, refers to heat-loving plants and is supportive of 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 independently from your harvest - for this, you should leave the largest fruits of the correct shape to ripen on the bush. Then the ripe vegetable is placed near the window to soften the tomato. 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 falls 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 carry out disinfection. The soil should be calcined in an oven or watered with a mild manganese solution.
The 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 2 - 3 true leaves appear on the 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 compressed cardboard - such containers can be placed in open ground without removing the planted plants from them. This can speed up the survival time 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 done using mineral fertilizers. About 7 days before planting seedlings in the soil, they are hardened. For this, the plants are taken out to a cooler place or, if the temperature permits, left for some time in the open air.
When the tomatoes reach the age of 60 days, the seedlings are planted in open ground or in a greenhouse. Handfuls of humus and wood ash are added to carefully watered holes.
The seedling is placed in a 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.
Between the bushes in a row, 30 - 40 cm are left, and the row spacing is about 70 cm. Plants can be planted in a checkerboard pattern with a distance of 60 cm between bushes and rows. For 1 sq. m you can plant up to 6 bushes of tomatoes of this variety.
Care of planted tomatoes
Caring for the planted tomato is not difficult: it consists in timely watering, removing weeds, feeding and regularly loosening the soil ("dry watering"). The bushes are recommended to be tied to supports, to regularly cut off stepsons. It is necessary to ensure that the tomatoes have one main stem.
Diseases and pests
As stated in the description, Mobil tomatoes successfully resist diseases. Insect control can be carried out using insecticides or using folk remedies.
