Optimal conditions

Tomato Tanya, described in the article, loves an abundance of sunlight. Frosts are harmful to the plant, high temperatures are also dangerous. At temperatures above 32 degrees, the plant stops growing, the fruits lose their color.

Tomato develops well and yields on sufficiently moist soils. An optimal level of lighting is also needed, both for seedlings and for plants in the garden. At a low levellight, plant growth slows down or seedlings stretch out, become weak, unviable.

Features of cultivation

Tomatoes are cultivated using seedlings. Seeds are planted in boxes, cassettes filled with peat mixture. Seeds germinate at a temperature of 22-24 degrees and atmospheric humidity of 80-85%.

When watering the seedlings, make sure that drops of water do not fall on it. Dive is performed after 11-12 days in the presence of a true leaf and two cotyledons. Transplanting seedlings in the morning is not recommended, because at this time of day they are too vulnerable. When picking, the root is shortened. 20 days after the dive procedure, the seedlings are properly arranged to achieve good lighting.

Ground landing

One or two weeks before planting seedlings on the beds, the temperature is reduced to 23 degrees. Signs that seedlings are ready for planting are:

• presence of 9-10 sheets under the first flower brush;
• stalk of normal thickness;
• Correct placement of internodes.

The soil for planting seedlings should be clean, nutritious. When planting, the stem does not fall asleep.

Care activities

Tomatoes self-pollinate. If cultivation takes place indoors, additional steps must be taken for pollination:

• attract bumblebees;
• use vibration;
• use hormones.

The vibration method is to shaketrellis plants.

In order to ensure a balanced nutrition of plantings, flowers are pruned. At the same time, after pruning, 4-5 flowers remain on the first and second brushes, and 5-6 on the others.

When growing in a greenhouse for ventilation, open windows on the opposite side from the direction of the wind. In this case, exhaust ventilation is obtained, and it is easy to achieve the desired level of humidity and air temperature.

Regular watering is another important condition for the cultivation of tomatoes. Tomatoes are watered frequently, with small volumes of water. In the absence of regular watering, the fruits may crack.

The ideal method of watering is drip irrigation. The water temperature should be above 15-16 degrees. The soil should not be waterlogged.

Tomato needs mineral supplements, especially at the beginning of the growing season. It is important not to overdo it with the introduction of nitrogen, otherwise the bush will turn out to be too leafy. Most nutrition is needed during fruiting. During this period, water-soluble fertilizers are applied.

Apply bird droppings and mullein, they are dissolved in water. The means "Kemira-universal", "Mortar" are added to the solution. Other compounds will do. You can use copper sulfate, potassium permanganate, diluted in water.

Vegetable growers note the positive effect of nettle infusion. The container is filled with cut greens, poured with water and placed in the sun for one to two weeks. Stir every morning. Before feeding, the infusion is filtered and diluted with water at the rate of 1:10. Nettle contains a large number of useful substances. The infusion is used for root and foliar dressings.

In addition to nettle, iodine is considered a suitable folk remedy for fertilizer. 1-3 ml of iodine is dissolved in a bucket of water. Plants are sprayed with a solution - this improves the quality of the fruit. Also water the soil under the tomatoes. Such top dressing is good in the morning. After them, plantings are watered with clean water.

If the owners note the absence of inflorescences on the plants, this means that there is an excess of nitrogen-containing dressings. They are promptly removed. Apply top dressing with ash or superphosphate.
