Growing

Before sowing seeds, it is recommended to disinfect them, for example, in a solution of potassium permanganate. After the appearance of 2 true leaves, you can start planting. When planting in open ground, it is advisable to choose a place taking into account the previous culture. If possible, place tomatoes after cucumbers or beans or carrots or onions. Landing in a permanent place is recommended according to a scheme of 70x30 cm.

Plant care involves maintaining optimal soil moisture. Naturally, in open ground, the frequency of irrigation depends on the weather. But in a greenhouse they usually recommend watering once a week on average. To reduce dependence on watering, you can mulch the ground with peat or hay, or dried weeds. From the time of planting to a permanent place until the third flower brush blooms, vegetable agronomists recommend feeding only phosphorus-potassium fertilizers to prevent the fatliquoring of plants. After flowering the third flower brush, top dressing with complex mineral fertilizers containing nitrogen (Zdraven, Fertika, Mortar) or organic fertilizers that obviously contain nitrogen is appropriate. On average, vegetable growers recommend feeding tomato bushes every ten days.

3. To strengthen plants, more precisely, to increase their resistance to infections, it is also advisable to feed tomato plants with micronutrient fertilizers. To reduce the cost of effort and time, it is advisable to mix biofungicide with micronutrient fertilizers, for example, Aquadon-micro or Uniflor-micro. The effect can be enhanced by the addition of a microbiological fertilizer or just a drug of the EM series, Zircon. For the treatment of the above diseases, a mixture of Alirin-B with Gamair (1 tab.
