Agricultural technology
Sowing dates and seed preparation
When choosing a sowing date, they are repelled from the expected date of transplanting tomatoes into the open ground. Depending on the terrain and climate, the sowing of "Deadly Force" is carried out from March to mid-April. Seedlings will be ready for transplanting in 50-55 days. By this time, warm weather is already set, without the threat of night frosts.
Seeds purchased from Siberian Garden do not require dressing. But collected from their tomatoes need processing.To do this, they are soaked in a strong solution of potassium permanganate for 30 minutes.
For purchased and own seeds, hardening will be good. This procedure consists in the cyclic movement of seeds from a warm environment to a cold one. The seeds wrapped in a damp cloth are sent to the refrigerator for the night, and for the day to a warm place. Repeat the procedure for 3-4 days. Thanks to the hardening of planting material, adult plants are not afraid even of critically low temperatures.
Soil preparation for sowing
Preparing the soil for seedlings is a very important stage in the cultivation of tomatoes. The quality of the soil determines how strong and healthy the seedlings will be. Regardless of whether the soil is purchased or prepared independently, it must necessarily be fertile, loose in structure and water-absorbing. Before sowing, any soil needs to be disinfected. This can be done in the following ways:
Pickling
The soil is abundantly shed with a solution of potassium permanganate raspberry hue. This solution kills harmful microorganisms and saturates the soil with manganese and potassium.
Freezing
The soil is left to freeze at a temperature of -10 ° C for 5-7 days. Then they return to a warm room for a period of about 10 days. After such an artificial winter, pests and weed seeds will wake up warm. In order to permanently destroy them, the earth is again sent to frost and held for at least 7 days.
Steaming
You can steam the earth with a colander in a water bath or in a microwave in a plastic bag. The time required for the destruction of pathogens in both cases is 10 minutes per liter of soil. After the procedure, the soil is dried.
Calcination
Slightly moistened soil is placed in a layer of 4-5 cm on a metal tray and calcined in the oven for half an hour at a temperature of 70-80 ° C.
During soil sterilization in any way, not only harmful microorganisms die, but also beneficial ones. Therefore, the earth is "revived" with the help of special commercially available biological products.
Now that the seed and soil are ready, you can start sowing. Seeds close up to a depth of 1-2 cm, the soil is pressed a little on top. If this is not done, the seedlings can sprout along with the seed coat. This will significantly slow down their growth and it will be difficult for them to catch up with their relatives in development.
Care for seedlings
After germination, seedlings are watered as the soil dries. When the bushes grow 2-3 leaves they are planted in separate pots. So that all the seedlings get their rate of light and do not stretch, containers with seedlings must be regularly turned to the light with the other side.
It is necessary to carefully monitor the appearance of plants and if signs of a lack of nutrients are detected, appropriate fertilizer must be applied.
Transplant to the ground
Tomatoes are planted in well-fertilized areas that are open to sunlight. It is better to do this in cloudy weather or in the evening, when the sun is no longer so active. The landing pattern of "Deadly Force" is standard for determinant varieties. A distance of 50 cm is left between the bushes, 80 cm between the rows. 3-4 plants fall on one square meter. You should not save space and plant bushes more often, this will negatively affect productivity. Tomatoes love to grow in the open, so that each seedling has enough air and sun.
Adult Tomato Care
As noted earlier, the pinching of this variety is not a mandatory procedure. But to put a support and tie up the plants will not be superfluous.Since it will be difficult for a small bush to hold a large number of fruits, and it can fall over. For support, there will be enough pegs next to each bush.
Tomato “Slaughter Power” refers to unpretentious varieties and does not require special attention, therefore care for adult plants consists in regular watering, cultivating and weeding. If desired, the bushes can be fed, alternating mineral fertilizers with organic, this will increase productivity and improve the taste of the fruit.
Disease resistance
Thanks to the long-standing efforts of breeders, tomato varieties resistant to characteristic diseases for the nightshade family have appeared. These grades also include "Deadly Force." Therefore, vegetable growers who have opted for this variety will not have to spend time and money on preventive treatments for diseases.

We got 4 kg from the bush. I liked it to my taste, such a good acidity is present, just as I like. Ripened almost simultaneously all on the bush and one of the first. 6 bushes were planted, they ate everything with pleasure. There are a lot of seeds in tomatoes, of course I gathered them. She shared with her mother-in-law. This year we’ll see who harvests how much.

Planted for two years in a row. The first year the summer was not very sunny and the bushes were not big, the tomatoes tasted so-so. And last year there was plenty of sun, so the bushes waved more than a meter and the tomato has a completely different taste — sweet, not watery. In general, I am satisfied, I added this variety to my list for this year as well. I like the fact that he sings early and there is no need to follow him. The first year, those that are smaller salted, the rest let into the lecho. And last year they ate everything fresh.

A neighbor gave seedlings, since they just bought a plot. We planted 5 bushes in the garden, this is our first experience in growing not only tomatoes, but in general everything. We came on weekends and only watered. To be honest, the harvest was not expected. We were very surprised when the bushes were first covered with tomatoes, and then they began to blush right in the garden. Of course, with great pleasure we ate our first tomatoes in early July. The variety is really not whimsical and very productive.
