Features of agricultural technology
To get ripe fruits already in mid-July, it is recommended to grow the hybrid in seedlings. Sowing of seeds is carried out in early March, 55-60 days before the intended planting in open ground or under film covers. The disinfected container is filled with soil mixture, then the seeds are laid out. The originator of the variety recommends soaking them before planting. This procedure increases germination by 30%.
After sowing, cover the container and transfer it to a warm room. The first shoots will appear in 7-10 days. After this, the film is removed. In the phase of 2-3 leaves, the seedlings are planted in separate glasses.
Two weeks before transplanting into open ground, seedlings are hardened. The time the seedlings spend in the air is gradually increased. In the last 2-3 days, tomato seedlings are left to spend the night outside.
Site selection
Tomato Daddy's daughter F1 is a light-loving variety. For its cultivation, select a site that receives sunlight throughout the day. When grown in open ground, cabbage, legumes, and zucchini are considered good predecessors. It is not recommended to plant in areas where nightshade crops grew last year.
Planting scheme
More than four seedlings should not be planted per 1 m2
The bushes of this variety are quite spreading. Densely planted plants will block the access of sunlight to neighbors.In shading, plants slow down their growth, stop developing and bearing fruit. Recommended planting pattern for tomatoes – 50x60 cm
When transplanting seedlings, they try to transfer the root along with a lump of earth. The soil around the seedling is compacted and watered abundantly. Immediately after planting the plant, a trellis for garter is placed near the bush. Otherwise, the plant will break under the weight of the fruit or gusts of wind.
Watering
The hybrid tolerates high temperatures well, but needs timely and abundant watering. Without enough moisture, the bushes will quickly burn under the scorching sun.
Watering is carried out every 2-3 days with warm, settled water. The procedure is carried out in the morning or evening hours. Make sure that water does not get on the leaves.
The best option is drip irrigation
Loosening, hilling
After each watering, the soil around the tomato bushes is loosened and weeds are removed at the same time.
The bushes should be hilled twice a season. The first time the procedure is carried out 10-14 days after planting the seedlings. This will help the plant form new roots on the stem. After three weeks, a second hilling is carried out.
Feeding
During the growing season, the hybrid should be fed at least 3-4 times, alternating mineral and organic fertilizers.
Feeding schedule:
- 10-14 days after planting, tomatoes are supported with a mixture of mineral and organic fertilizers. To do this, dissolve 20 g of superphosphate and 1 kg of mullein in 10 liters of water. 1 liter of solution is poured under one bush.
- The second and third feedings are carried out at intervals of two weeks.Dry mineral fertilizers (ammonium nitrate - 10 g, potassium salt - 15 g, superphosphate - 20 g) are applied to the soil immediately after loosening.
Don't get carried away with nitrogen fertilizers. Their excess leads to an increase in green mass, but not to the development of brushes.
Stepsoning
Timely planting is the key to a good harvest. The creator of the variety Daddy's Daughter F1 recommends growing the tomato with 2-3 stems, the remaining stepsons should be removed.
Pest and disease control
To avoid infection of tomatoes with fungal infections, it is recommended to carry out preventive treatment of the bushes.
With weakened immunity, in cold rainy summers the hybrid can be affected by: late blight, blossom end rot, brown spot, black leg.
When the first signs of the disease are detected, the affected tomatoes are removed from the garden bed, taken outside the site and burned. The remaining bushes are treated with fungicides.
Vectors of infectious diseases are most often pests that migrate between bushes in search of food.
The most common pests of tomatoes: whitefly, aphids, spider mites, slugs, and Colorado potato beetles.
The fight against diseases is carried out in three directions:
- disinfection of planting material;
- disinfection of garden tools;
- protection with chemicals.
To increase the resistance of plants to infections and pests, timely application of fertilizing is recommended.
