  Tomato seed preparation

  In order to get a rich harvest with good taste and eliminate the likelihood of disease, you must properly prepare the seeds for planting. Begin seed preparation in February. Seeds sorted out, selecting the largest of them.

  The seeds are then placed in a saline solution and left for 15 minutes. Rising seeds are thrown away, and those settled on the bottom are well washed and dried. After this, disinfection of seeds is performed. Seeds are placed in a container with a 1% solution of manganese for 20 minutes.

  The next step in preparing for sowing is soaking. The seeds are wrapped in a gauze napkin and put in a glass container with warm water. Water should cover only half the seeds.

  We do soaking for 12 hours. During this time, we change the water three times.

  When changing water, we take gauze with seeds from the tank in order to provide oxygen access to the seeds. After soaking, you can proceed to germination. Spread the seeds on a damp cloth and leave in a warm room( the temperature in the room should not be below +20 degrees). Care should be taken to keep the cloth always wet. Before planting seeds for seedlings, it is advisable to harden.

  Soaking the seeds before planting in potassium permanganate

  To do this, place the seeds in the refrigerator for 12 hours( temperature +2 degrees).After that, within 12 hours, the seeds are heated at a temperature of +20 degrees. This procedure must be repeated 3 to 5 times. Seedlings grown from hardened seeds tolerate temperature changes more easily, bushes grow faster, yields increase by 45–50%.

  . Cultivation of seedlings.

  . On seedlings, seeds are sown 60-62 days before planting beds and 45-55 days before planting in the greenhouse. Before sowing seeds, prepare the soil. If the soil is taken from the garden, it should be disinfected. To do this, the earth is well watered with a strong solution of manganese and put in the oven with a temperature of 170-190 degrees for 20 minutes.

  After processing, remove the soil to fresh air for 14 days. The prepared soil is poured into oblong boxes, making the grooves to a depth of 1 centimeter. Between the grooves, the width should be 3-4 centimeters.

  Lay out the seeds so that the distance in the row is at least 1 centimeter. Sprinkle the groove on top with a thin layer of earth, stretch the film and place it in a room with a temperature of +28 degrees. Airing of crops is necessary every day until the first shoots appear.

  To do this, you need to remove the film for 30 minutes, and if the soil is dry, you need to moisten it. After the first shoots appear, the film should be removed and the temperature in the room should be reduced to +20 degrees.

  The main condition for growing seedlings of tomatoes is to have good lighting.

  For this, seed boxes must be kept on the windowsill on the south side. If there is not enough natural light, additional lighting is recommended with special lamps.
