Agrotechnics of cultivation
The variety is grown mainly in seedlings by planting plants in an indoor greenhouse. Description of cultivation:
- Seeds for seedlings are planted in mid-March in fertile soil.
- The plantings are covered with film until the first shoots appear.
- Then the film is removed and cultivation continues until two true leaves appear on the bushes.
- Afterwards, the seedlings are planted into separate containers. So it grows for another two weeks in a sunny place indoors.
- After this period, the land is fertilized for the first time.
Plants should be transplanted into the greenhouse at the age of 60–65 days. Then 6–7 true leaves are formed on the bush. After transplanting to a permanent place of growth, the tomatoes are fertilized three more times, and the bushes are also cared for. It consists of the following manipulations:
- Weeding.
- Watering and loosening the soil.
- Garter and stepson.
- Treatment with poisons against diseases and pests.
In order for the fruits to ripen together, you need to trim the lower leaves. Then all the nutrients will go into the growth of vegetables, not the bush. Plants are fed: during flowering, formation of ovaries, ripening of tomatoes.
Plants of the Dorodny variety respond well to fertilizing and frequent watering, but this should not be abused. If the soil is too wet, the root system may rot and the plants will die. Fungus also develops well in climates that are too humid. Therefore, all manipulations must be carried out in moderation.
Harvesting is carried out as the fruits ripen. If ripe tomatoes hang on the branches, then the plant will not have enough energy to ripen green vegetables.
Weeding and loosening the soil will help get rid of grass, which absorbs nutrients, and fungus, which actively develops in airless soil.
