Growing and caring for a tomato

Preparing seeds for planting

Before planting a plant in the ground, it must be properly prepared. There are a couple of preparatory options: soak tomato seeds in a solution with potassium permanganate or in a special growth catalyst. If the choice fell on the first component, there is a recipe for its preparation: 1% potassium permanganate - 1 gram, 100 ml of water. In this solution, you need to keep the seeds for 20 minutes, then you need to rinse them under clean water.

Based on the experience of many gardeners, non-soaked seeds, which are then processed with potassium permanganate for etching from various diseases and insects, may simply not sprout.

Seeds that are in potassium permanganate, it is best to mix a couple of times with a stick, then rinse thoroughly with water. The next step is to dry them in a dry place until they are loose, after which you can send them for landing or plant them in a greenhouse.

Seed planting

The required depth for landing is 1-2 centimeters. Grow at a temperature of +25 degrees in greenhouse conditions, pouring only with warm water. In the dark, the temperature should not be lower than +17 degrees.

To plant vegetable seeds, for greenhouse conditions, the soil should be soft and even. The distance between the grooves should be 10 cm, where the width and depth is 1 cm no more. In such conditions, tomatoes sprout.

After the seeds have been planted, top with a thin layer of soft soil about 5 mm. Be sure to sift through a sieve. This allows the land to lie evenly and the seeds will not go far underground, which usually happens if you simply fill them with earth. Applying such a simple rule, germination will be faster.

At the first watering, always use a hand sprayer, since when watering in the usual way, the seeds are displaced and washed off from the right place. This is only the first time, then already, when the earth settles, you can proceed to the usual watering from a watering can and are not afraid for the seeds.Watering should be daily, because the earth absorbs water very quickly and accordingly dries, a crust forms, and germination is difficult.

The time comes, the seeds have sprouted a little. The next step is to remove excess and weak bores, so that in the future the planting does not thicken, you need to observe a distance of 1-2 cm between them. Otherwise, all grown shoots will become thin and weak, too elongated and fragile.

Transplanting

After the procedures, the prepared seedlings are ready for planting. You need to plant in 60-65 days. There are 3-4 plants per 1 m2 of land. with the Earth you always need to fertilize with ash or humus, well well water the wells.

After the tomato begins to sprout, for a large future crop, you need to add 3-5 cm of soil between the rows. This will prevent the plant from falling and sagging, you need to give the roots a large area for germination. Thus, the stems of the plant strengthen, become more powerful, thanks to the pouring upper layers, which perfectly absorb water. Having grown seedlings by this principle, it will take root well in the subsequent transplantation, giving a good harvest.

If the seedlings have grown well and gained strength, then in the future very much fertilizer should not be abused. Feed only when the plant has grown weak and grows slowly. Do not forget that the soil should not be inferior in quality to the land where seedlings were grown. This is necessary so that the growth process is not interrupted or disturbed.

Feeding and Growth

When the plant begins to grow actively, you need to "feed" it with nitrate, somewhere around 80-100 grams per 1 m2 of land. During this period, care for the tomato is very important, because the crop depends on a good and proper cultivation. Since this tomato variety is tall, it must be tied up. If you want the fruits to be large and juicy, you need to follow and remove the extra shoots. Thus, the plant does not spend additional energy on them.

Do not forget! When gartering a plant, never tighten its stems, the growth process will be disrupted, the development of the fetus will weaken, stretch marks will form.

Watering, a plant that has already matured, needs 1-2 times in 7 days during the entire growth of the plant. Reduce the flow of water is only when the fruit appears on the plant. Irrigation must be done at the root.

Prevention and treatment of tomato diseases

Important fact! This tomato variety very quickly gets used to various drugs for diseases, because of this, over time, they will cease to act. The best option would be, when processing tomatoes, to use different drugs. 5 days before planting, it is recommended to cultivate the earth with a systemic fungicide from a hand sprayer.

Petr Alekseevich:

“I have a plot in a small village.In hot time (in summer) I love to delve into my garden. I like to grow various vegetable crops. This season I decided to try the Rustic tomato variety. I did not regret my choice, seedlings grew well, but after replanting the tomatoes could not take root for a long time. In height, they reached up to 1.5 meters. There was little harvest, but the fruit itself was large, it has very tasty pulp. In general, the variety is excellent, but in the future I would like to get more harvest. "

Galina Fedotovna:

“I prefer the fruits of the tomatoes to be large. Of these, it is possible to make a delicious tomato juice. Village tomatoes were good both in size and in taste. For such a tall variety, the plant brings an average yield. Raised them in greenhouse conditions, not often watered. Unfortunately, the fruits of the tomato gave small cracks. "
