Cultivation and care

Tomato bushes need to be tied in time, to pinch and pinch, timely cut the lower leaves.

2. Seeds before sowing are recommended to be treated with Baikal. During the growing season, the plants are fed chicken dung, spud, mulch.
3. Plantations are watered every 7 days, but abundantly to moisten the soil layer to a depth of 10 cm.

Bush formation
Pasynkovanie is the removal of excess shoots. Stepsons need to be removed while they are still not very thickened. The optimal length is not more than 5 cm. As long as the stepson is small, he takes on himself little nutrients, and its removal does not bring much harm to the tomato. If time is lost, the tomato may be injured.

When do you need to pinch tomatoes?
Already on seedlings, the first packages may appear. They must be removed even when landing, when the length is approximately 15 mm. This method is quite laborious.

1. After the seedlings are transplanted to a permanent place in the ground, tomatoes begin to grow actively, and give a lot of stepsons. You need to constantly, at least once a week, inspect the tomato rows and remove all the extra stepchildren until they have greatly outgrown. This has to be done periodically. For the formation of tomatoes, pinching is one of the most important procedures.
2. The main feature of indeterminate tomatoes is an unlimited increase in the growth of the main and additional shoots. If you do not pinch such tomatoes in time that they quickly occupy the entire space, which complicates further care and reduces yield. In the Kuum variety, one to three stems are left.
3. If a tomato is formed into one stalk, then all stepsons are removed in the sinuses and only the main shoot is left, on which fruitful brushes are formed.
4. When 2 or 3 shoots are formed on the bush, the corresponding number of shoots is left, which eventually turn into additional stems. Usually they leave for this purpose the 2 strongest stepsons, which began to grow earlier than the others in the lower part of the bush. All other stepsons are removed.
5. When growing tomatoes in warm regions in open ground, there is no need to pinch bushes, since all the fruits have time to ripen. But to get an early harvest in film greenhouses they stepchild. And here you need to be careful, because quite often you can remove the shoot, which should extend the growth of the whole tomato. If you remove all the stepsons, then the tomato will lose the growth top, and it will no longer form shoots.

In order not to remove the necessary stepsons, you need to know a few simple rules:

1. It is necessary to remove when they grow to 4-5 cm.
2. Even before the start of removal, a strong stepson is chosen, which should become the main growth stem.
3. If you are not sure whether to remove the stepson or not, then leave it to grow, later you can pinch its top and stop the growth.

Reviews gardeners

Tatyana Nikolaevna, Voronezh: This year, the taste and aroma of tomatoes is amazing, because everything is grown with their own hands. I didn’t carry out chemical dressings, mainly I used an infusion of ash, mullein and sourdough from all the weeds collected on the site. All 50 bushes of Kuum tomato were mulched with straw and hay, which did not allow late blight to jump out of the ground into the bushes. This year, the abundance of the crop, as never before, has now begun to intensively process the crop into juices, canned goods, pickles, etc.
