Agrotechnics of cultivation
Tomatoes are grown in seedlings; in mid-March, the seeds are sown in containers with fertile soil, watered by spraying and covered with film. After 5–7 days at an air temperature of 22–24 degrees, the seeds germinate. At this point, the film is removed and cultivation continues without shelter. At the age of appearance of two permanent leaves, the seedlings are planted in separate containers.At the age of 60–65 days, the seedlings are transplanted into a garden bed or greenhouse. After transplanting, the tomatoes are tied up and excess shoots are removed during growth. They also carry out watering, weeding, fertilizing, and loosening the soil. If these growing conditions are met, you will get an excellent harvest.
