Planting seedlings

It is necessary to prepare the soil for planting in the fall. The soil is saturated with oxygen, left in a cold place until the beginning of spring. During the winter, the earth will freeze, there will be no larvae that eat tomato seeds. At the time of planting, the soil is mixed with mineral fertilizers, compost, sand, humus. You can also purchase quality soil at any hardware store.

Any container is suitable for seedlings: pots, boxes, trays with individual compartments for each seed. The container is washed, disinfected with a solution of diluted potassium permanganate, rinsed and left to dry.

Seeds can be bought new or used from a previous planting. First, the seeds are tested for germination. To identify the pacifiers, the seeds are immersed in water for 10 minutes, the pacifiers will float to the surface. You need to germinate seeds at room temperature, in a dampened cotton cloth. Add water daily. On the 5-6th day, the seeds are planted in the ground.

The first shoots appear in 3-4 days. It is necessary to control the moisture content of the soil, an excess of water will kill crops.The seedlings are ready for picking when they grow 7-10 cm, when 2-3 true leaves are fully formed. Plastic cups are suitable for individual containers. The stem of the seedling is buried before the leaves begin to grow. Then the seedlings are watered every 2-3 days.

Tomato transplant

Transfer to the beds is carried out at a constant temperature of 15 to 18 ° C. They make beds, fertilize with compost or manure. Tomatoes are ready for planting with a growth of 15-20 cm. The planting is done at a depth of 10-15 cm so that the stem is at a right angle. The distance between the bushes is up to 50 cm. After planting, the seedlings are watered.

A drip irrigation system is installed in the greenhouse, it can be automated. Top dressing is done once a week, with a good microclimate, once every 2 weeks. Mulch with stagnant soil at the roots of tomatoes.

Pinning algorithm:

1. Disinfect inventory: garden shears, pruning shears. You can use regular scissors.
2. At a distance of 1 cm from the base of the stem, stepchildren are cut at a right angle.
3. After cutting the stepsons from one bush, the tool is disinfected.

Tomatoes are tied up with a growth of 60-70 cm. The bushes at this moment begin to creep along the ground, the ovary of flowers is visible. The garter allows natural light to flow openly. Tied to a peg, net or make a frame with a garter on ropes.

Pest and disease control

Due to the lack of calcium and magnesium in the soil, the variety affects the top or white rot. Greenhouse tomatoes are often infected with white rot due to their proximity to other vegetable crops. When the first signs of the disease appear, rotten shoots are destroyed, sometimes the whole bush is disposed of.

From fungal and viral diseases at the beginning of growth, tomatoes are treated with a solution of potassium permanganate with potassium. From the Colorado potato beetle in a greenhouse and in an open area, the bushes are treated with a standard solution of toxic chemicals. From slugs, caterpillars and other creeping pests, the roots of the bushes are sprinkled with copper sulfate. Chemical treatment is carried out at the beginning of the growth of the bushes, then once a month.

conclusions

Purple tomatoes look attractive and unusual. Varieties of violet-black color are distinguished by a high content of nutrients, resistance to the most common diseases, as well as high yields and a long fruiting period. As a result of long-term experiments, it has been proven that the use of these varieties of tomatoes has a beneficial effect on the human body affected by oncological diseases.

Some people think that the unusual color of the fruit is the result of genetic modification, but the varieties were developed through conventional breeding. Many forums write that tomatoes, when grown, did not turn purple, but remained pink or red. This fact is due to improper care. The purple color is provided by anthocyanins, the amount of which decreases if the soil is insufficiently fertilized, and the acid-base balance is reduced.

• Watering with settled warm water 2-3 times a week;
• Loosening the soil between waterings;
• Mulching the ground to keep moisture in the ground;
• Top dressing with NPK complexes every 14 days.
