How to grow a quality crop?
Planting description: seedlings are planted in sunlit areas with fertile soil. The optimal air temperature is from 20 degrees during the day and from 16 degrees at night. Add humus to the soil in the beds and dig it up. If fertilizers are applied in the fall, then in the spring we simply fertilize it with organic fertilizer.
Plants are planted in a checkerboard pattern, with the distance between seedlings being 40–60 centimeters. A hole is dug, a plant is planted, the hole is filled up and watered with warm water.Pour at least one liter of liquid under each bush. That's it, the tomatoes are planted.
Proper care of tomato plants
We take proper care of the plants and harvest a rich harvest of ripe and beautiful tomatoes. To do this you need:
- water the bushes;
- carry out stepsoning;
- thoroughly weed the soil;
- tie up bushes in a timely manner;
- loosen the soil around the stems;
- inspect plants for the first signs of disease.
The bushes need to be watered in dry weather when the fruits are ripening almost every day. After irrigation, the soil is loosened. This is done to prevent the development of fungus and retain moisture. The bushes are tied up 3 times a season, constantly capturing heavy bunches of tomatoes. Since the bush is tall, it needs to be tied to a crossbar for easy care of the plants.
Pinching is the removal of excess shoots formed in the axils of the leaves. If this procedure is not carried out, the bush will grow into a green mass, the tomatoes will not ripen. If spots, fungi, darkening of fruits and other manifestations of diseases are found on plants, it is necessary to disinfect the planting beds.
Tomato Gravitet f1 responds gratefully to care and will thank you with a rich harvest of juicy tomatoes.
