Shrub with fruits of tomato Soil requirements for planting
Special containers should be prepared for sowing, namely:
- wooden boxes;
- cups( paper);
- plastic cups;
- plastic cut bottles;
- peat pots.
It will be most convenient to plant seeds in peat or paper containers, as grown seedlings can be planted in open ground directly in these pots.
Before sowing seeds, it is necessary for 4-5 days to place the prepared container in a room with a temperature of about 22-25 degrees. It should be borne in mind that the seeds grow as fast as possible in coconut fibers( chopped).It may also be useful soil, which will contain in the same proportion of sod and humus soil.
Seedlings Containers Seeding Rules
It is very important to harden the seeds before planting, which will prevent their further response to temperature changes. For quenching, it is sufficient to place the seeds in a convenient container and bring them to the cold for 48 hours. Immediately before planting, planting material should be checked for germination. To do this, we moisten the seeds and bring them into a room with a temperature of 20-25 degrees for 5-7 days.
Considering the susceptibility of tomatoes to various diseases, planting material must be processed before planting. As a rule, potassium permanganate dissolved in water is used for this purpose.
When sowing Black Moor, you should follow the recommendations that will allow you to grow healthy seedlings:
- Seeds are sown to a depth of about 18-20 mm. If you put a seed deeper, it may rot.
- The distance the seed place should be 18-20 mm.
- The lower the germination rate, the denser the landing should be.
- After disembarkation, it is recommended to cover the container with film material.
- After the appearance of the first leaflets( 2-3), the seedlings can be pickled.
For rapid germination of seedlings, it is necessary to provide optimal conditions, namely:
- to ensure the soil looseness;
- place containers in a bright and warm room;
- water the seeds after sowing, cover with foil and wait for the first seedling to water the soil again.
Sowing seeds for seedlings Transplanting tomatoes into open ground
The seedlings can be planted only 45-55 days after the first sprouts appear. As a rule, during this period, heat stabilizes outside, and the appearance of night frosts is unlikely.
Planted plants can be several options:
- Rows 60x30 or 50x30.
- Two-line ribbon - wider distances are left between each pair of rows. In this case, the bushes can be planted in a checkerboard pattern.
- Nesting - 2 bushes are placed in one hole.
Care of the variety after transplanting
After transplanting the plant into the open ground, it must be properly cared for:
- Given the high degree of growth of the vegetable crop and the abundant amount of fruits on the hands, each bush must be tied up.
- As the plant grows, the extra stepchildren are removed and the flowered buds vibrate in time, which will significantly increase the yield.
- Systematically water the plants with warm water.
- Periodically we make top dressing, using a full complex of fertilizers.
- Loosen the soil every 5-6 days and do weeding.
Planted in the soil and watered tomato bushes Diseases and their prevention
Despite the moderate degree of Black Moor's resistance to diseases, it is still susceptible to fungal infections. It is very important to carry out prevention in order to avoid infection of the bushes. It is also recommended to apply in practice the rules of crop rotation( hilling bushes), to carry out the processing of vegetables with the Hom preparation. Barrier preparations are excellent for feeding. To prevent the occurrence of phytophthora should spray plants using a solution of Bordeaux liquids.
If small punctures appear on the leaves of the seedlings, then it is time to fight with a spider mite. You can get rid of it by spraying Karbofos on the bushes.
Preparations against diseases and pests Subtleties of successful cultivation of this variety of tomato
The most significant feature of tomato cultivation Black Moor is considered to be the obligatory garter of its branches and timely disposal of unnecessary stepsons. To increase the yield of the bush, it is necessary to create a vibration effect( gently shake the brush) and periodically feeding.
