Agrotechnics
Tomato variety Klepa is recommended for cultivation both in the open field and in greenhouse conditions. To grow tomatoes and collect a rich harvest, you need to prepare high-quality planting material, so it is better to grow seedlings yourself:
- Sowing seeds is done in late March or early April.
- Before sowing, it is advisable to soak the seeds in warm water, having previously wrapped them in gauze.
- Tomatoes are sown on lightly tamped soil, then sprinkled with soil or peat layer of no more than 1 cm.
- Further, the crops should be carefully shed, covered with foil and placed in a warm place.
- After the emergence of seedlings, the film should be removed, and the young shoots should be provided with light and heat.
- In the phase of the appearance of the first pair of true leaves, the sprouts must be dived into separate cups or pots.
- One and a half to two weeks before planting in the ground, the plants must be hardened, leaving young tomato bushes in the fresh air. This makes them easier to adapt to their permanent residence.
- At the age of 60–65 days, seedlings can be planted, provided that the threat of frost has passed.
- As they grow, the bushes need to be formed into two stems. And also, given the exuberant growth of plants, they should be tied to a trellis in advance, which will greatly facilitate the subsequent harvest.
- The rivet does not need abundant watering, so it is enough to make sure that the soil does not dry out. In addition to watering, plants respond well to top dressing and soil loosening.
