How to properly grow a crop on a plot?
It is better to plant tomatoes in seedlings, as this reduces the time before fruiting begins. Seeds are sown 2 months before the expected date of planting in a permanent place. The specific date is calculated by the summer resident himself, correlating it with the weather conditions in the growing region.
Caring for seedlings involves providing access to light, heat and regular watering. The future harvest depends on quality seedlings.
Young seedlings need sunlight 14-16 hours a day. If there is a deficiency, additional lighting lamps are installed.
When a young plant does not have enough light, it stretches and the stem becomes thinner. It will not produce a strong plant later.
You can’t overwater the tomatoes, but they shouldn’t dry out either. For fertilizing, growth stimulants or complex mineral fertilizers are used.
When planting in a permanent place, place 4-5 plants per 1 m2. Further care is as follows:
- Regular watering. It is better to water plants with warm water in the evening.
- Hilling and loosening. Access of oxygen to the roots and retention of moisture.
- Weeding. Removing weeds as a preventive measure against diseases and insect attacks.
- Formation and garter are required for indeterminate varieties.Yellow bison is formed into 2 stems and tied to supports. Stepchildren are removed.
- Feeding. Without it, it is difficult for plants to cope with some diseases and produce maximum yield. It is carried out at least 3 times per season, after transplantation after 7-10 days, during the period of budding and fruit formation. For this purpose, mineral complex fertilizers and organic matter are used, alternating them with each other.
Caring for it is not easy, but by fulfilling the requirements, the summer resident receives tasty fruits in large quantities.
