Planting seeds
Tomato is grown in seedlings. The optimal time for sowing seeds is the first decade of March or 50-60 days before the intended planting of seedlings into the ground. Pre-treatment of seeds with growth biostimulants is recommended. Seeds are sown to a depth of 0.5-1 cm in boxes with finished peat mixture.
An ideal soil composition for growing seedlings can be obtained by adding vermiculite to it, it will make the soil loose. For friendly shoots provide the necessary conditions with the air temperature in the room +24 degrees, humidity 80%. Watering with warm water is carried out with caution, not often.
Dive seedlings in the stage of 2-3 true leaves in separate containers. When carrying out picks, the main root is pinched. Next, monitor the temperature, humidity, proper lighting. Carry out the necessary feeding.
Planting seeds for seedlings Planting seedlings
Hybrid Tatyana F1 is planted on sunny beds with fertile soil. For this class, dangerous high temperatures, above 32 degrees, and low. In either case, you will need shelter. The soil should be loose, moist.
Planted seedlings in open beds in the second decade of May with sufficiently heated soil. When planting tomatoes in the greenhouse, this operation is performed earlier.
Visually, the readiness of seedlings for planting in the ground is determined by the presence of 9-10 sheets with the first floral brush and stem of sufficient thickness.
Treatment rules
- Pollination of inflorescences occurs independently. Optimal conditions for pollination: a temperature of +25 degrees and a humidity level in the range of 60-80%.When grown in greenhouses resort to additional measures to attract insects and use the method of vibration by shaking the branches of a bush or trellis. Reception of vibration is carried out 2-3 times a week in the morning after fruit picking.
- Shown is not frequent, but abundant watering with settled water once a week. Not regular watering is dangerous by cracking tomatoes.
- Tomato Tanya F1 does not need to be staved, but the installation of supports for branches with fruits is necessary.
- Growing tomatoes in greenhouses requires regular ventilation to achieve the required temperature and humidity level. In open beds, plant shelters are needed when there is a threat of frost.
- In the initial stage of growth and in the fruiting stage, a tomato needs mineral supplements most of all. It is necessary to work with nitrogen with caution, its excess will go into a riot of foliage. Often used water infusions of mullein, bird droppings, herbs. Complex mineral fertilizers, as well as boric acid, copper sulphate, manganese, and iodine are added to plant nutrition with microelements. Important feeding ash. Tomato acutely reacts to unbalanced feeding, so the selection of elements should be carried out correctly.
- Experienced gardeners prune flowers in their hands for even fruit development. On the first two brushes 4-5 colors should be left, and on the next 5-6.This procedure will provide the remaining fruits with good nutrition. The result will be high-quality fruit.
Feeding tomatoes Disease prevention
Tanya F1 Hybrid is tolerant to most dangerous diseases of tomatoes. But preventive treatments will not be redundant. Ecological treatments with broth of onion and garlic husk with the addition of manganese are useful. If there is evidence of a fungus, Fitosporin is effective.
When cultivating tomatoes, a noticeable deviation from the norm of air temperature and humidity indices leads to diseases and yield loss. Every gardener should remember this.
