Agrotechnics of cultivation
Seeds are planted for seedlings in mid-March, planted or planted in the phase of two true leaves. Seedlings are planted in a permanent place of growth in mid-May - under film, in early June - in open beds. The seedlings will reach the age of 60 days. Planting is carried out according to a pattern of 60 by 50 centimeters. In this case, 3–4 bushes are placed per square meter.
After planting, care is carried out, which consists of:
- weeding;
- watering;
- loosening;
- fertilizer;
- disinfection;
- harvesting.
Weeding the soil to remove weeds is necessary so that nutrients do not go to the weeds when fertilizing the soil. Watering plants should be carried out in closed areas once every two days if the weather outside is humid. In dry weather you need to water daily.
After watering, it is recommended to loosen the soil around the plants so that the moisture evaporates more slowly and fungus does not develop in the ground.
Fertilizing during plant growth is carried out at least three times. The first time is fed two weeks after planting the plants at the main place of growth, the second time during flowering, the third time when the fruits ripen.
Plants are constantly inspected for diseases, rot, dryness and blackening of fruits and leaves. If areas with diseased plants are found, they need to be removed, and the remaining plants and soil should be treated with poison.
Harvesting must be done in a timely manner so that the green fruits have time to ripen. Also, for ripening, the lower leaves and part of the upper leaves are torn off so that they do not shade other tomato plantings.
When carrying out these plant care activities, the tomato harvest will be plentiful and the bushes will not get sick.
Review of reviews about the Aristocrat variety
Thanks to its advantages, the variety has received numerous reviews from gardeners.
Galina Grigorievna: “I’ve been planting tomatoes on the plot for a long time, but last year I used the Aristocrat variety for the first time. I really liked it - it is unpretentious in care, and at the same time it gives a good harvest. The tomatoes are all beautiful, almost identical and very tasty. I’ll definitely plant it again next year.”
