Growing and caring for the "Tsunami" tomato
A feature of the variety is its good yield and gradual ripening of fruits, but pink tomatoes require increased attention. The main labor costs are associated with the regular removal of stepchildren and dying foliage.
Growing seedlings
Plants are grown in seedlings to start getting their first harvest as early as possible.
- Seeds are planted for seedlings 55-60 days before the planned transplantation to the greenhouse. They germinate most quickly at 20-25 degrees.
- With the emergence of seedlings, boxes with seedlings are placed in the most lighted place with a low temperature. During the day it should be 12-15 degrees, at night 8-10 degrees. This mode will prevent fragile sprouts from pulling out.
- I change the temperature regime when the seedlings get stronger, and the leaves acquire a rich green color. On a sunny day, the seedlings will be comfortable at 20-25 degrees, on a cloudy day - 15-18. Nighttime temperatures are usually reduced to 10-12 degrees.
- When 2 permanent sheets appear, the tomatoes are seated in separate containers.
- Seedling care involves feeding, watering and observing light and temperature conditions.
Seedlings are transplanted into the soil in early May.
For a tomato, it is important to have a soil moisture ratio of about 70-80% and a low air humidity of about 60%. This is achieved by moderate watering, loosening the soil and ventilating the greenhouse.
Caring for tomatoes in a permanent place
Care comes down to maintaining the moisture regime and the desired temperature in the greenhouse, feeding, forming a bush, and fighting pests and diseases. Description of agrotechnical methods for growing tomato "Tsunami".
- Tomatoes are planted in a permanent place in early to mid-May according to the 40 x 60 scheme. After a period of adaptation, the plants are fed and tied up if necessary.
- Form mid-early tomatoes into one stem. Leave 4-6 brushes, then pinch the growth current. The shoots that constantly form in the leaf axils are broken out or cut off at a level of 3-5 cm.
- The temperature in the greenhouse should be between 18-24 degrees during the daytime, and at night between 15 and 18 degrees. To combat condensation, which causes many diseases, the greenhouse should be equipped with ventilation.
- Dying leaves are promptly removed, which improves gas exchange in the near-ground part of the plant. The lower part of the stem is spud.
- During the flowering period, the greenhouse should not be too humid. Therefore, after watering, the soil is loosened to avoid moisture evaporation, to improve air flow to the roots.
- Do not allow a simultaneous increase in the temperature of the soil and air in the greenhouse. This threatens the appearance of gray rot and brown spot.
Observing simple and clear agrotechnical techniques, by July a pink variety of lettuce tomatoes Tsunami may appear on the gardener's table.
