Specifics of cultivating the variety

How to grow Maestro tomatoes? Sow seedlings in the first two weeks of March. As soon as sprouts with two leaves appear, the seedlings can be transplanted. Transplant into special peat containers; small plastic cups can also be used.

The soil should be fertilized with a nutrient mixture beforehand. After two weeks, a small amount of bird droppings or another natural fertilizer can be added to the plants.

It's recommended to plant seedlings in a greenhouse, maintaining a 60 cm gap between bushes. The distance between rows should be 70 cm. It's best to plant the plants on a sunny side of the garden plot. It's important to plan the staking system in advance, as this is a necessary part of plant care. It's recommended to tie the bushes to a support or trellis.

To maintain the desired microclimate, tomatoes should be watered 1-2 times a week. The first watering is recommended 10 days after planting the seedlings in the ground. Until flowers appear, the root system will not be very developed, so at least 3 liters of water per plant is needed. When the flowering period begins, it is recommended to water the plant once a week, using 3 liters of water for each bush.

In the first days of August, Maestro F1 needs to be pinched. To increase the mass, up to four ovaries are left on the clusters, and the remaining, weakest ones are removed.

Reviews of this tomato variety indicate that it requires little labor to care for. Furthermore, farmers who have previously grown the Maestro tomato praise its flavor and resistance to common diseases.
