Features of growing hybrids
As practice shows, most of the seeds of hybrid crops do not need disinfection and treatment with growth stimulants. All these preparatory procedures are carried out by a company that supplies seeds to the world market. As a rule, the cultivation of the culture is carried out by the seedling method.If you plant seeds directly into the soil, then the harvest dates come much later.
First you need to plant seeds and get seedlings. For these purposes, it is better to use individual containers for each seed. This is done in order to reduce the risk of root injury when diving. For better seed germination, they need to be planted in the spring season (preferably in early March) and kept at a temperature of 15-18 ° C. It is recommended to constantly turn the container in different directions towards the light source. This will allow the seedlings to form evenly.
As soon as the first pair of petals has formed on the seedlings, you can plant in a permanent place. But, it is necessary for the soil temperature to warm up to 15-17 ° C. Otherwise, the root system may die. If planting is carried out in open ground, then you need to adhere to the 40x50 cm system.If planting is carried out in a greenhouse, then the planting scheme is 50x60 cm.
Care rules
Timely and high-quality watering is important: once every 3-4 days and only with warm water. It is water at room temperature that the plant assimilates best of all.
Top dressing should be carried out three times during the entire growing season of the plant.
- The first subcortex, a week after transplantation to a permanent place, is carried out with the help of potassium substances.
- The second feeding, from the moment the ovaries are formed, consists in the use of phosphorus fertilizers.
- The third feeding is carried out at the moment when fruiting has just begun. At this point, it is advisable to use humus or bird droppings.
You need to loosen the soil and remove weeds regularly. This will only increase the amount of yield and prevent deformation of the bush. You should also tie up the bushes so that they do not break off from the wind or large fruits.
Diseases and parasites
Hybrid varieties are resistant to more diseases: powdery mildew, root rot, brown and olive spot. Therefore, it is not necessary to prevent these diseases.
Are exposed to spider mites, aphids, or the Colorado potato beetle. There are measures to combat each of these parasites. You can prevent the appearance of a tick if weeds are removed in time. And you can fight them with a solution of cayenne pepper. You can get rid of aphids with the help of a copper-containing drug Oxyhom. And in the fight against the Colorado potato beetle, the Regent or Fofatox will come to the rescue.
Conclusion
Almost all hybrids are characterized by high quality indicators. It is for this reason that every gardener wants to grow them on his site. First, you can spend less time and effort on grooming. And secondly, even with minimal care, the yield will be high.
