Care features
Like any cultivated plant, bushes require careful handling:
- Alternation of cycles of watering, drying and plowing the soil.
- Timely weeding and feeding will lead the gardener to a record yield result.
- We grow tomatoes in non-shaded places - tomatoes are very fond of sunlight.
- Top dressing is carried out during the entire life of the plant, but no more than 4-5 times per season.
- After planting the seedlings, be sure to water the tops for a few days until they settle into a healthy, bright green color.
- We organize the irrigation grooves in advance in such a way that the entire root system of the plant is washed, but the soil is not washed out.
- Sprinkler irrigation is not recommended by experienced gardeners, although you can often read in reviews: "I planted seedlings and organized such irrigation on cloudy days or in the evening."
- When processing with antibacterial or antiparasitic agents, we take into account the dissolution time of the drug so that the composition does not fall on the table with the finished tomatoes.
- Timely tying of bushes will allow you to grow a rich harvest. The plant will receive more sunlight. In addition, fruits lying on the ground are often subject to various diseases. Various bacteria live in the soil, which will enjoy the harvest with pleasure.
Tip: before planting tomato seedlings Buyan, shake the bush - the weak ovary will crumble, you will get a stably developing plant.
How to fight disease
Despite their high immunity to disease, plants sometimes need help fighting bacteria.
- Top rot. May appear on the crown of a green fruit. Tomatoes are treated with a solution of calcium nitrate in appropriate proportions. Usually one, maximum two procedures per season is enough.
- Late blight is fought with the help of a Bordeaux mixture based on a solution of lime and copper sulfate. The composition is quite aggressive, with incorrect proportions it can burn the fruits.
Any iron-containing article, such as a nail, can be used to test the composition. When iron reacts with copper sulfate, the former turns bright red. In this case, add a little lime to the solution and after mixing, repeat the experiment.
Cracking of fruits is mistakenly considered by many gardeners to be a disease. The cause of this ailment lies in over-watering or feeding the plant. The active growth of fruits is stimulated, their structural characteristics change, but at the same time tomatoes cannot provide themselves with the necessary elements. It is enough to change the irrigation regime, dry and puff up the soil, and plant growth is normalized.
The danger for tomatoes in this case lies in the violation of the protective shell: bacteria easily penetrate into the cracks. Some of them can harm a person. It is best to remove these cracks before eating.
This tomato variety is a welcome guest in any horticultural business. Due to its unique qualities, the tomato is deservedly popular among agricultural lovers.
