Landing scheme and rules
Before planting tomato seedlings in the ground, you need to prepare the area in a special way.If the soil is depleted by previous plantings, then rotted manure, compost, lime or wood ash, as well as some river sand should be added to the digging to make it lighter and looser.
Before planting, seedlings are hardened off, allowing them to adapt to new living conditions.
Algorithm for planting tomatoes in the ground:
- Form holes and spill them with warm water.
- A portion of complex mineral fertilizers is placed at the bottom of each hole.
- Tomato seedlings are placed in them and, holding them, sprinkle the roots with soil. Plants are tied to stakes and the soil is compacted with hands.
After planting, the tomatoes are watered and mulched with freshly cut grass, leaves or straw. In the future, the natural mulching material will rot and additionally feed the plants.
Features of care
Watering should be rare and plentiful. Typically, procedures are carried out twice a week, but taking into account the weather. Severely waterlogged soil promotes the occurrence of root rot. Use warm, settled water, and water the plants in the morning or evening.
Fertilizing is applied depending on the stage of tomato development. In early spring during the growing season, the bushes are fed with nitrogen fertilizers. During the flowering period, they are treated with boric acid, and at the stage of ovary formation, phosphorus-potassium fertilizers are used, which are responsible for the taste of the fruit.
In order for the tomatoes to fill with juice and gain as much sugar as possible, you need to plant the seedlings in the ground on the south side of the site
In addition, an important stage of care is the formation of bushes into two trunks. This procedure guarantees high yields.In the process, the stepsons or, in other words, lateral shoots, which quickly grow and thicken the bush, are removed.
You can nourish tomatoes with infusion of nettle and dandelion. To prepare it, you need to collect about 1 kg of young greenery, chop it, put it in a bucket and fill it with settled water. The foam that will soon appear on the surface will indicate that the infusion is ready.
Disease and pest control
Prolonged rains, fogs, heavy dew and temperature fluctuations can cause late blight, the causative agent of late blight, a common fungal disease of tomatoes.
The disease covers the entire plant, affecting all its organs
Late blight can be recognized by the brown spots that first appear on the leaves. Then brown spots begin to appear under the skin of the fruit, dense to the touch.
To control pests, use a soap solution or infusion based on bitter herbs.
If the number of insects is large, then the drug Actellik will help to quickly destroy them in a proportion of 2 ml per 1 liter of water
