Care instructions
Excessive watering is harmful for an adult tomato, but drying out the soil also has a bad effect on the plant. The frequency of watering is determined taking into account the age of the tomato and the climate of the region.
The soil is moistened to a depth of 10 cm and loosened after each watering. This helps minimize the risk of crusting on the soil surface.
Having completed loosening, the tree trunk circle is covered with a layer of mulch. Straw, humus or expanded clay are used for this.
Fertilizers begin to be applied 1.5-2 weeks after planting. You can use ammonium nitrate or superphosphate.
Fertilizers are used in liquid form, combined with irrigation

In the absence of formation, tomatoes grow greatly and do not produce a harvest.
Pest and disease control
Almost all tomato diseases can be easily prevented by a number of preventive actions. When growing bushes in a greenhouse or greenhouse, it is necessary to systematically ventilate and disinfect with fungicides, for example, Bordeaux mixture.
To increase resistance to diseases, you need to feed the crop with complex mineral fertilizers.
