Do not touch seeds with bare hands! Care must be taken, especially when sowing large quantities of seeds. It is better to work with gloves, and after work, be sure to wash your hands under running water and soap.
Sowing of tomatoes "Supernova F1" is carried out in January-February on high-quality peat-sandy soil. You can sow, both in trays and in special cassettes to a depth of 1.5 cm and very lightly roll up the soil, for friendly germination of seeds.
The picking of seedlings, which is carried out when 2-3 true leaves appear (25 days after sowing), is a necessary measure to improve the quality of the bushes.When the seedlings reach a height of 25-30 cm, they are planted in a permanent place. The beds are made at a distance of 70 cm from each other. Planting density of 3-4 plants per 1 sq. m. Tying to props is recommended, but not necessary. They do not do it for this variety.
Supernova tomatoes are resistant to major diseases of the nightshade. However, Colorado potato beetle and scoops are often affected. Mechanical cleaning must be used against insects.
The cold resistance of the variety allows it to be grown in a secondary crop rotation. Tomatoes do well with overhead irrigation, but drip irrigation is preferred.
After planting tomato bushes, you must:
- Water the tomatoes every 10 days.
- Mulch the soil under the plant with finely chopped grass.
- Feed and fertilize in a timely manner.
- Remove all lower leaves to improve tomato ripening and better aeration of the bushes.
