Important! At the initial stage, tomato seedlings need to adhere to a day and night regime.Additional lighting during the day and a decrease in night temperatures by 5-6 degrees will prevent plants from stretching out and getting sick.

Growing and caring for the variety

Varietal characteristics, their characteristics and descriptions form a number of rules, without which it is difficult to obtain a decent harvest.

We grow seedlings

The quality of seedlings grown in compliance with day and night temperatures, lighting, dosed watering and fertilizing will become a reliable guarantee of a good harvest.

1. Seedlings begin to be planted for seedlings 60-65 days before the planned planting in the greenhouse. This is mainly the month of March. The date largely depends on the climatic conditions of the region and the quality of the greenhouse shelter.
2. Seeds are prepared by disinfection in a manganese solution and treatment with a growth stimulant.
3. Planted in moist soil, deepened by 2 cm. Germination should be expected after 5 days.
4. Plants emerge when the first true leaf appears, planting them in separate containers.
5. Seedlings require moderate watering and fertilizing. At the initial stage, especially in cloudy weather, lighting is required to prevent the stems from stretching.

For those who have planted tomatoes more than once, these rules will not seem too complicated. But they shouldn’t be ignored either. By observing the day and night regimes and moistening the soil in time, you can get high-quality healthy seedlings, ready for any load.

A feature of indeterminate varieties is intensive, almost unlimited growth. It is necessary to pay attention to the correct formation of the bush: removal of side shoots, excess foliage and timely limitation of stem growth.

Replanting the tomato to a permanent location

There are no special secrets in the agricultural technology of growing the Moscow Delicacy tomato variety.

1. Seedlings are planted in the greenhouse in May. The recommended layout is 70 x 50 cm, which is approximately 3-4 plants per square meter.
2. We grow tomatoes by tying them to trellises or vertical supports.
3. As it grows from the bottom of the stem to a height of 60-80 cm, the leaves are removed. This measure improves air exchange, prevents the spread of fungal diseases, and does not distract the plant’s strength from the main task - the formation of ovaries.
4. The bush is formed into 2-3 stems, leaving 4 to 7 ovaries on each. After the required number of brushes is formed, the crown of the plant is pinched.
5. Water the bushes with warm water, at the root. It is especially necessary to monitor the soil moisture at the time of flowering and intensive growth of tomatoes.
6. Care comes down to watering, loosening the soil, fertilizing, removing stepsons and yellowed foliage.
7. The harvest begins in July and August.
8. With the onset of cold weather, they monitor the plants, trying to identify possible diseases in time. The variety can be affected by nematodes and late blight.

The presented description of agrotechnical techniques allows you to understand the main stages of plant care. Of course, every gardener has his own secrets for getting a good harvest. Someone thinks that if I planted tomatoes in a greenhouse, then I should use its entire volume. Let them grow to the very top. This practice is suitable for this variety.

Even on the street, “Moscow Delicacy” forms ovaries well, especially in hot weather. What can we say about greenhouse conditions? But tomatoes must have time to grow at least to a state of technical maturity. This must be taken into account in short summer conditions. Otherwise the variety is very productive. Housewives are happy with it and enjoy using it in home cooking.
