Features of cultivation

To grow a large harvest with excellent flavor, several nuances must be observed. Planting techniques depend on soil type, environmental conditions, climate, and other factors.

In open ground

When planting seeds in open ground, you'll need to carefully select the location for the seedbeds. The seeding area shouldn't be located in low-lying areas to avoid groundwater flooding. You'll also need to provide protection from strong winds and select a well-lit area.

In greenhouses

When using a greenhouse to grow crops, it's important to ensure the right temperature for proper ripening. Excessive temperatures and humidity can significantly reduce yields. Ensure adequate ventilation and pre-treat the soil in the greenhouse.

Care for early ripening varieties

The process of caring for tomatoes that fall into the early ripening category involves periodic watering, fertilization, and pest and infection control.

Watering

You should start watering tomatoes 12-14 days after planting.Plants grow more slowly in waterlogged soil, so the following guidelines should be followed:

• 4 liters per square meter before flowering;
• 12 liters per square meter during the flowering and fruit formation period.

In the absence of precipitation, it is recommended to water every 5-7 days, checking the soil condition first. The optimal water temperature for irrigation is above 22 degrees Celsius.

Top dressing

Tomatoes require several fertilizing applications during their growth phase. The first application is before sowing the seeds. These applications include wood ash, boric acid, nitrophoska, and superphosphate. The next applications are made a week after planting, once the seedlings are well established. For active growth, mullein and manganese sulfate are required. Fertilizing is also necessary during budding, flowering, and fruit formation.

In the final stages of growth, the root system requires large amounts of phosphorus and potassium.

The amount of fertilizer applied is 0.5-1 liter per bush. A solution of boric acid and sugar can be used as an additional fertilizer to attract pollinating insects. If the ambient temperature is high and the flowers are shedding, spray with a nutrient mixture at a rate of 5 g of boric acid per 10 liters of liquid.

Starting in the second half of July, it's necessary to stop applying fertilizer. Additional feeding, as well as excess moisture, during this period leads to intensive foliage growth and delayed harvest ripening.

Processing of bushes and soil

To combat diseases and pest infestations, plants will need to be treated with protective agents. In addition to standard insecticides and fungicides, treatments with the following substances are also used:

1. Fitosporin. Tomatoes are sprayed after the first fruit appears, then repeated every ten days of the month. The Fitosporin solution can be poured into the holes for the bushes before planting or added to the water for irrigation.
2. Trichopolum. Dissolve 1 tablet in 1 liter of water and spray whenever symptoms of late blight are detected.
3. Bordeaux mixture. A few days before flowering, as a preventative measure, spray the plants with a mixture of a couple of tablespoons of copper sulfate and 10 liters of water.

Wood ash, which provides a wide range of beneficial components, including magnesium, calcium, and sodium, can be combined with the above-mentioned preparations. Ash dusting is performed a few days after planting and repeated during fruit set.

Reviews from gardeners

Ivan Matveevich Sokolov, retiree: "I've been growing different varieties of tomatoes in my garden for several years now. The yield is consistently high, and I haven't had any pest problems. I follow the usual care guidelines, but I have to water less frequently due to the frequent rains."

Elena Zimkina, housewife: "I planted tomatoes in a greenhouse for the first time last season. To be on the safe side, I chose several varieties. I ended up harvesting over 40 kg. The tomatoes have a sweet and sour flavor, typical of tomatoes, but very pleasant."

Natalya Vasilyevna Korchik: "I plant tomatoes every year at my dacha. I don't have the space to build a greenhouse, so I grow them in the garden. My favorite varieties are Marmande and De Barao. I'd like to point out how easy they are to care for. The only downside for me is the large amount of foliage that needs to be trimmed."
