The first ovary forms above the sixth leaf. The description states that the Zolotoy Potok tomato variety is grown from seedlings. Two months before transplanting into open ground, the seedlings are sown. The seeds are planted in nutritious soil to a depth of 1 cm. Cover the container with plastic wrap and place in a warm place.

The container should be kept in this room until the seedlings emerge. Before planting, the seeds need to be treated. They are first warmed, then disinfected, treated with a rooting agent, and finally hardened. If these growing instructions are followed, the yield will be high.

Once the sprouts have 2-3 leaves, they are pricked out. The seedlings need to be hardened off by placing them outside for a while. Once they have matured, they are transplanted into open ground in a 50x40 cm pattern. The plants need to be regularly watered, hilled, weeded, and fertilized. After 14 days have passed since planting, water the plants.

The next watering is done when the soil dries out. Vegetables should be watered with warm water in the morning and evening. When watering, add 2 pinches of ash per bucket of water. After watering, loosen the soil. Fertilize the plants at least 3 times during the growing season.

To increase yield, it is recommended to apply fertilizer once every 10 days. Fertilizers should be complex and not contain too much nitrogen.

The plants are resistant to diseases, but the bushes need to be protected from pests. If the Colorado potato beetle appears, the tomato must be treated with insecticides.

Preventive measures include the following:

• treatment of seeds with disinfectant solutions;
• regular watering with warm water;
• maintaining the required temperature.
