Agricultural technology Varieties Azov

Tomatoes are grown in seedlings. At the end of March, at home, seeds are planted on seedlings and covered with film until the first shoots. When the seeds germinate, the film is removed, the container with the seedlings is placed in a sunny place and the sprouts are cared for.

When two permanent leaves form on the plants, they are planted in separate containers with fertilized soil. In this way, the seedlings grow before the onset of warm weather. At a constant temperature of 22 degrees, the sprouts are transplanted into a greenhouse for further growth.

Tomato care

After transplantation, each bush is tied up; this procedure is carried out in two ways:

• tying to stakes;
• garter by the stem to the crossbar.

Since the plant is not limited in growth, it will have to be tied up several times, being careful not to damage the stem.

1. Pinching is an important element in obtaining a high-quality harvest. When forming into one lash, all side shoots are removed. If the foliage prevents sunlight from reaching the fruit, it is also gradually removed.
2. Fertilizing is an integral part of growing any variety of tomatoes.During cultivation, plants are fertilized at least three times with organic and mineral fertilizers.
3. Watering and loosening the soil is carried out as it dries. Excess moisture is just as harmful as drought, so you need to carefully monitor the level of soil and air moisture in the greenhouse.
4. Weeding will help tomatoes ripen faster. Microelements will not go into the weeds and the plants will grow better.
5. Timely harvesting of fruits will extend the ripening period of tomatoes.

With simple care of tomato plants, you get a good harvest of tasty fruits.
