Features of cultivation
The tomato is considered a late tomato. For this reason, most fruit growth occurs in the fall.With the onset of frost, the fruits continue to grow, and frozen and drooping foliage will not prevent them from ripening well.
Seedling. It is recommended to sow seedlings in the second half of March or early April. This applies to all types of late varieties. No earlier than late May - early June they are planted in the ground.
Seeds are sown in a hole up to 2 cm deep. After planting, the soil is sprayed with warm boiled water and covered with film for rapid seed germination. For the same purpose, it is necessary to maintain a stable air temperature within 23-25 degrees. As soon as the shoots appear, the temperature can be reduced by 3 degrees.
The seedlings are moved to a bright place. And with the appearance of the first leaves, the plants are planted in pots and liquid complex fertilizer is added.
It is necessary to water the seedlings once every five days; rain, settled or boiled warm water is suitable for this. Tomato seedlings are gradually hardened, increasing the time spent in the fresh air. Hardening is a recommendation.
Landing in the ground. You can plant 3 plants per 1 m². Before planting, the holes are fertilized with mineral fertilizers or wood ash (strictly, no more than 1 tablespoon).
Plants after planting require tying to supports, because they will grow tall. The formation of bushes occurs in one stem, the lower leaves and stepsons are periodically removed. The characteristics of the variety indicate a late ripening period, so the last tomatoes are harvested before frost. Ripening occurs at home.
Care
Over the entire season, it is necessary to fertilize tomatoes 3-4 times. The optimal scheme is to add nitrogen-containing fertilizers before flowering, and during fruiting, add phosphorus or potassium fertilizers. Mineral complexes are perfect.Constant watering of plants is necessary, preferably at the roots, weeding and loosening of the soil. Regularly following the recommendations will help you get high yields.
Diseases
Tomatoes are resistant to fungi and viruses. But to protect young plants and increase productivity, disease prevention is necessary. Every year you need to replace the soil in greenhouses; if you want to protect your tomatoes even better, water the soil with a solution of potassium permanganate (potassium permanganate). Those gardeners who have planted tomatoes are advised to spray the plantings with safe microbiological preparations.
