Recommendations for planting

Seedlings should be grown like other tomato varieties. To do this, you can use the instructions provided:

1. Seeds are soaked in any growth stimulant for 12 hours.
2. The soil is being prepared. The soil must be disinfected and heated to a temperature of 22 degrees.
3. It is necessary to sow the seeds of the Machitos tomato variety to a depth of 1 centimeter.
4. During sowing, maintain a distance between seeds of 2.5 - 3 centimeters.
5. Then the planting is evenly sprinkled with soil and watered with a solution prepared from a drug that allows one to overcome diseases localized in a certain area of ​​the country, dissolved in water.
6. The container is covered with film or glass and placed in a bright, warm place.
7. After the first shoots appear, the film is removed, and when 2 leaves are formed, the seedlings are planted.

Such a plant can be transplanted into the garden immediately after favorable conditions occur.

Transplantation into soil and care

Summer residents are interested in how many bushes can be planted per 1 square meter. When planting seedlings, one feature must be observed: the bushes must be located at a distance of at least 40 centimeters from each other, and the distance between the rows must be at least 1 meter. That is, per 1 square meter you can plant only 2 bushes. The description of the variety states that when planting this way, you must strive to form a bush with two stems. Such rules allow you to get twice as much yield as when planting bushes at a distance of 20 centimeters from each other.

In order for the Machitos tomato to produce a rich harvest, the planted plant should be properly cared for:

1. Tomatoes should only be watered when the soil begins to dry out. Watering should be carried out strictly at the root, avoiding moisture on the foliage.
2. When using drip irrigation, it is necessary to adjust its intensity. If the device has a tape characterized by intensive watering, it should be reduced, otherwise the plant may die from the spread of rot.
3. If the ambient temperature drops significantly, watering must be minimized and can be stopped for a while.This will protect Makhitos F1 from hypothermia, since in such a stressful situation the plant will not draw out water.
4. Fertilizers need to be applied in very small quantities. The description of the variety recommends making the first application of fertilizers only after the formation of 3–4 brushes on the bush.

If the listed rules for watering and fertilizing are not followed, the pulp of ripened tomatoes will be watery and insipid.

Influence of negative factors

Mahitos tomatoes are included in the vegetative type group. Proper cultivation allows you to get a powerful, strong bush. There are a number of factors that interfere with the formation of a healthy plant. Growing such tomatoes should not be accompanied by intensive watering and the application of mineral fertilizers along with irrigation.

If a summer resident neglects these tips, plantings begin to actively increase the number of stepsons and shift the timing of fruit ripening to a later period. There is only one way to determine the optimal level of watering for your own region: in practice. The appearance of a small harvest, long-ripening fruits indicates a violation of the rules of fertilizing and watering.

Some summer residents, when planting the Makhitos variety of tomatoes, claim that the ripened fruits have a weak color intensity of their skin. This problem may be related to the individual composition of the soil. Most often, the essence of the anomaly lies in the imbalance of potassium and manganese. To obtain bright fruits, their cultivation should be accompanied by the addition of potassium and manganese fertilizers to the soil, which affect the coloring of tomatoes in their natural color and their timely ripening.

Another negative factor that needs to be dealt with is a large amount of foliage.However, you should not fight in a drastic way, since greens are necessary to cool the plant. In order not to harm the bush, you need to pick off only those leaves that interfere with the formation and ripening of the fruit.

Despite the presence of some problems in growing the Machitos variety, the tomato is an unpretentious plant. This is due to the fact that all of the listed problems are easily identified and promptly eliminated without loss of qualitative and quantitative characteristics of the crop.
