How are tomatoes grown?

Tomatoes are grown using seedlings. Before sowing, the seeds need to be disinfected. They are disinfected with a solution of potassium permanganate or phytosporin. These compounds are also used as tomato growth stimulants.

To grow seedlings, select a special container and prepare the soil. Add compost, wood ash, and crushed eggshells to the soil. Once sprouts appear, harden them off. To do this, take the seedlings outside every day. Increase the amount of time the plants spend outdoors each day.

Once the soil has warmed and there is no longer any risk of frost, you can plant the seedlings outdoors. This usually happens in late March or early April. After planting the seedlings in open beds, the soil should be fertilized with mineral fertilizer and compost. Tomatoes need to be watered regularly.

The bushes are tied to supports to prevent branch breakage. Seedlings are planted in holes that have been watered with warm water beforehand. It's best to plant the seedlings at a depth up to the first leaves. If the bush is tall, plant them down to the second and third leaves, which promotes proper root development.

Ten days after planting, treat the plants with a potassium permanganate solution to protect them from late blight. The solution is prepared as follows: add 2 grams of potassium permanganate to 10 liters of water. After planting the seedlings in open ground, some begin to wilt. This is because they did not receive enough light during the growing process.

Bushes need to be trained. To do this, pinch out side shoots. If tomatoes are grown in the north, remove the lower leaves before each new fruit sets. Three to four upper shoots can be left on the bush. This will ensure better air and sunlight access, reduce plant disease, and help produce an earlier harvest.

In southern regions, leaves are not removed, as they protect the bushes from excessive sun exposure. In these areas, after the cluster stops producing fruit, the leaves below it should be removed.

If tomatoes are grown in a greenhouse, it needs to be ventilated regularly. Tomatoes should be watered every morning at the roots. This will prevent plant rot and pest infestation. Tomatoes are resistant to diseases, but to prevent them you need to water the plants moderately, loosen and fertilize the soil. Vegetable growers' reviews of this variety are positive. They note the tomatoes' excellent sweet-and-tart flavor and good yield.
