Features of agricultural technology
Extermal cultivars begin to grow from the fact that the seeds are germinated for seedlings. About 55 days before the seedlings are planted in the soil, the seeds are sown to a depth of 1 cm in containers with fertile soil. It is recommended to use a mixture of garden soil (2 parts) with humus (2 parts) and fine sand (1 part). It is recommended to cover containers with sown seeds with a film to maintain the temperature and humidity of the soil. When the first stitches of the stems hatch, the film can be removed. From this point on, seedlings will require a steadily warm atmosphere and access to sunlight. If there is not enough natural light, you can use agrolamps - at low cost this will give a tangible positive effect.
After the appearance of the first pair of real leaves, seedlings require a pick. Plants are transplanted into larger containers, but not more than 10 cm in diameter. If the tomatoes grow on an open bed, seedlings are transplanted into the soil after a stable warm temperature of at least 16 degrees is established, eliminating the possibility of frost. A week before planting in the soil, seedlings need to be fed; for this, a mineral fertilizer containing phosphorus and potassium is suitable. Seedlings are planted on a bed with an interval between seedlings of 40 by 80 cm, placing 4 bushes per square meter.
For the proper development of the plant, they stepchild, removing the extra shoots from the axils of the leaves and form a bush in one stem. Over the fourth brush, pinch the stem, stopping its growth in height. When fruits are tied and poured, plants must be tied up using trellises or just the crossbars of the greenhouse. The soil of the bed must be loosened regularly to aerate the root system and retain moisture. Weeds are removed as they appear. Also, for the proper development of tomatoes, it is necessary to establish adequate watering - in the morning, with warm water, under the root of the plants.We must not forget about the nutrition of tomatoes - natural or artificial fertilizers. In 105 - 110 days after sowing seeds, you can start harvesting.
