So that the tomatoes develop successfully, do not get sick, they are sprayed with Fitosporin. Treatment of vegetable plants with a mixture of whey and a few drops of iodine will also be a prophylaxis.Solutions of wood ash, tobacco dust, lime will save from slugs.
Properly organized watering is important for Marusya tomatoes. It is necessary to moisten the soil regularly, keeping an eye on the drying out of the topsoil. Excessive moisture is also dangerous for tomatoes. The fruits can crack if the irrigation regime is violated - after a shortage of water, its abundance. And the flowers fall off if the plant grows vigorously and gives many extra shoots. In such cases, the side shoots are broken out.
We grow tomatoes as usual with top dressing, loosening the soil, timely collection of ripe fruits.
The tomato bushes are fed for the first time with mullein or bird droppings. Organic substances are diluted in a bucket of water in accordance with the proportions. The next time, ten days later, mineral fertilizers are applied to the soil: for ten liters of water, twenty-five grams of ammonium nitrate, sixty - superphosphate, fifteen - potassium salt. It is necessary to dilute one gram of boric acid in a solution. Two weeks later, add one liter of nutrient mixtures to each well again. An excess of nitrogenous fertilizers can lead to dropping of the ovaries. It is necessary to think about this when organizing dressings.
Tomatoes ripen faster and become sweet if the shade of the leaves does not fall on them. Unripe tomatoes are harvested and brought to ripeness in a dark room, where the temperature reaches 26 degrees Celsius.
