Agricultural technology for tomato cultivation

The variety description indicates that it's best to grow tomatoes from seedlings. Seeds are sown for seedlings in March. Before planting, the seeds are treated with an aqueous solution of potassium permanganate and a growth stimulant.

Prepared soil is poured into the containers, lightly compacted, furrowed 1 cm deep, and watered with warm water. After planting the seeds, cover the container with plastic or glass to create a greenhouse effect, which ensures uniform germination.

Growing this variety involves cultivating it with agronomic measures to stimulate growth and strengthen the root system. When the plants have developed 2-3 true leaves, they are transplanted into individual containers.

For this purpose, it's best to use peat pots filled with potting soil. Pricking out the pots stimulates additional root development and ensures each plant has access to light and air.

When planting in a permanent location, plant bushes 40 cm apart, leaving 60 cm between rows. Three bushes are recommended per square meter. The description of the cultivation process includes a system of agricultural practices for plant care.

An important step in cultivation is ensuring timely watering, which is recommended at the roots. Warm water is used for this purpose. To ensure even distribution of moisture and prevent excessive evaporation, mulch the soil.

Black fiber and organic materials (hay, straw, leaves) are used as mulch. This helps prevent weed growth. A drip irrigation system can be installed in the greenhouse, which will significantly save time and increase crop yields.

During the growing season, plants are fertilized with complex preparations containing potassium, phosphorus, and nitrogen. The ratio of mineral components is determined depending on the composition of the soil.

At each stage of plant development, it is necessary to adjust the amount of fertilizer. For preventative purposes, the bushes are treated against diseases and biological pests. The plant requires periodic loosening of the soil and hilling.

Margarita Antonova, 56 years old, Kolomna.

Last season, on the recommendation of a neighbor, I bought a packet of seeds of the "Vesyoly Neighbor" variety. I grew them from seedlings using the usual tomato method. After one flower cluster formed, I planted the bushes in a greenhouse. The tall bushes had to be tied to a support. I was delighted with the clusters of ripening tomatoes and their textured shape. These fun tomatoes are perfect for an exhibition; they have an amazing flavor and vibrant color. The variety description and stated characteristics are completely consistent with the crop being grown.
