Good afternoon, my reader. The yields of tomatoes reflect not only the choice of a good variety (hybrid). It is very important to observe the agricultural engineering taking into account the characteristics of the culture. Only competent care will allow to collect from each bush for 1-2 buckets of ripe fleshy fruits.
To get good yields, it is better to choose tall tomato varieties. In favorable conditions, powerful bushes form a large number of oblasts. However, this circumstance does not guarantee complete success if not fulfilling the requirements of agricultural engineering.
The planting material in front of the sowing is disinfecting with a weak solution of mangalls or the preparation "Phytosporin-M". Then planted into containers filled with light, fertile, slightly moistened soil.
Planting containers are covered with polyethylene and put indoors, where the daily air temperature does not fall below 22-25 ° C. Before the appearance of turns in the containers in containers, as needed, moisturized with a pulverizer. Film shelter 1 time per day for 10-15 minutes are opened for ventilation.
When 3-4 real leaves appear on seedlings, they are diverting into peat pots or planted immediately into the greenhouse. To transfer seedlings to open ground, it is necessary to wait for steadily warm weather.
Heat- and light-loving culture are planted into the soil, leaving the distance between the bushes at least 50 cm. Between the rows of tomatoes, the interval should be about 60-70 cm.Gusto plants, devoid of normal air circulation, are at risk of infection with fungal diseases and pest damage.
The best time for watering seedlings and adult bushes is an early morning. Evening watering in the open ground is undesirable. A decrease in air temperature in combination with an abundance of moisture in the soil leads to the development of fungal diseases. So that condensate is not formed in the greenhouses, they are ventilated during the daytime.
Tomatoes watered under the root, trying to make moisture to the green mass. The frequency of watering depends on the plant development phase. For example, seedlings planted in the soil is quite a small amount of water 1 time in 4-5 days. It is important that the soil is moderately wet.
Adult bushes in the flowering phase are watered as needed every 7-10 days. During the period of fruiting, the amount of moisture must be adjusted especially carefully, since the tomatoes begin to crack both from drought and from excess water in the soil.
During the flowering period, the bushes of tomatoes especially need nutrients. Experienced dachables use a weak solution of boric acid to stimulate the formation of pollen.
For the preparation of the means in the bucket of water, 10 g of boric acid is divorced. The spraying of plants by this composition increases the amount and quality of the barring. In addition, after such treatment, the taste qualities of mature fruits are improved.
During fruiting it is undesirable to use chemical or organic fertilizers. Such feeding will strengthen the extension of the green mass and will adversely affect the taste of tomatoes.
The organic and mineral fertilizers are used after rooting seedlings in the ground. To stimulate the growth and good development of tomato bushes, use feeding with nitrogen content.
To increase the yield of tomatoes, summer residents resort to different tricks. To direct all the resources of the plant on the formation of fruits, the bushes are eliminated from unnecessary shoots (steppes) formed in intersals.
And during the period of fruiting, the lower tiers of the leaves also break, leaving only the borders of the barriers and the top of the bushes. At the end of the season, to speed up the ripening of tomatoes, remove the top of the plant along with inflorescences.
Unprecedented tomato yields are the fruits of the painstaking work of the gardeners. Thoughtful care, taking into account the advice of experienced dachans, will definitely give a great result.
