Requirements for cultivation and care

According to reviews, the yield of the Marusya tomato depends on how the tomatoes are grown. Among the mandatory requirements:

• selection and disinfection of seed material;
• sowing fifty-five days before transplanting into open ground;
• keeping seedlings in rooms with an air temperature of 25 degrees, sufficient lighting;
• picking seedlings after the appearance of two true leaves into separate pots;
• fertilizing with specialized fertilizers;
• planting seedlings in a greenhouse or in garden beds.

If you plant seedlings in open ground, then this should be done in the evening or in cloudy weather. Tender bushes are afraid of the scorching rays of the sun.

To ensure that tomatoes develop successfully and do not get sick, they are sprayed with Fitosporin. Treatment of vegetable plants with a mixture of whey and a few drops of iodine will also be a preventive measure. Solutions of wood ash, tobacco dust, and lime will save you from slugs.

Properly organized watering is important for tomatoes of the Marusya variety. It is necessary to moisten the soil regularly, making sure that the top layer of soil dries out. Excess moisture is also dangerous for tomatoes. The fruits may crack if the watering regime is disturbed - after a shortage of water, there is an abundance of it. And the flowers fall off if the plant grows vigorously and produces a lot of extra shoots. In such cases, the side shoots are broken out.

We grow tomatoes as usual with fertilizing, loosening the soil, and timely harvesting of ripened fruits.

Tomato bushes are fed for the first time with mullein or bird droppings. Organic substances are diluted in a bucket of water in accordance with the proportions. The next time, after ten days, mineral fertilizers are added to the soil: twenty-five grams of ammonium nitrate per ten liters of water, sixty grams of superphosphate, fifteen grams of potassium salt. It is necessary to dilute one gram of boric acid in the solution. Two weeks later, one liter of nutrient mixtures is again added to each well. An excess of nitrogenous fertilizers can cause the ovaries to fall off. You need to think about this when organizing fertilizing.

Tomatoes ripen faster and become sweet if the shadow of leaves does not fall on them. Unripe tomatoes are collected and brought to ripeness in a dark room where the temperature reaches 26 degrees Celsius.
