Agrotechnics Sorts Azov
Tomatoes are grown in seedlings. At the end of March, seeds are planted at home for seedlings and covered with foil until the first shoots. When the seeds germinate, the film is removed, the container with the seedlings is placed in a sunny place and the sprouts are taken care of.
When two permanent leaves are formed on the plants, they dive into separate containers with fertilized soil. Thus, the seedlings grow before the onset of warm weather. At a constant temperature of 22 degrees, the sprouts are transplanted into a greenhouse for further growth.
Tomato care
After transplanting, each bush is tied up, this procedure is carried out in two ways:
- binding to stakes;
- garter by the stem to the bar.
Since the plant is not limited in growth, you will have to tie it up several times, trying not to damage the stem.
- Grassing is an important element in obtaining a high-quality crop. When formed in one lash, all lateral shoots are removed. If the foliage does not allow sunlight to reach the fruit, it is also gradually removed.
- Top dressing is an integral part of growing any kind of tomato. During cultivation, plants are fertilized at least three times with organic and mineral fertilizers.
- Watering and loosening the soil is carried out as it dries. Excess moisture is just as harmful as drought, so you need to carefully monitor the level of moisture in the soil and air in the greenhouse.
- Weeding will help the tomatoes ripen faster. Trace elements will not go into the weeds and plants will grow better.
- Timely collection of fruits will extend the ripening period of tomatoes.
With simple care of tomato plants, you get a good harvest of tasty fruits.
