Growing seedlings
Seedlings need good lighting and ventilation
Tomato seedlings should be grown in special containers (boxes, plastic cups, seedling cassettes), which must be disinfected before use. In order to prevent diseases, containers should be equipped with good drainage. Before sowing, plants must be provided with adequate lighting, stable temperature and air ventilation.
Planting seeds
For sowing plants, fertile soil, universal substrate or a mixture of peat and sand in a 1: 1 ratio is used. Before using the soil, it is necessary to sift and fry, this will protect future sprouts from pest larvae. Sowing rules for tomatoes:
- Before sowing, the soil is well moistened.
- The seeds are warmed up, which will significantly improve their sowing quality and ensure disinfection. Warming up should be carried out for two days at a temperature of 30 ° C, and another 3 days at 50 ° C.
- The seeds are soaked for 30 minutes.in a 1% solution of potassium permanganate, then washed with running water.
To maintain moisture, the soil is covered with foil or glass after sowing. Seeds should be sown rarely, preferably in rows, then the plants will be strong and healthy.
Sprout care
Until the first shoots appear in the room, the temperature is maintained at no higher than 23 ° C. When sprouts appear, the cover should be removed from the container, it is best to do this in the evening. If the seedling bush is high, it must be dived.
Watering is carried out very carefully, since the seedlings are still very weak, you cannot fill the plants. The air temperature during this period for 75 hours should be reduced to 10 ° C at night and to 15 ° C during the day. This allows the seedlings to be hardened from the first days of their emergence.
Transplanting
Seedlings should be planted at the age of 55-60 days in the soil warmed up to 15-17 ° C. This usually occurs in the first half of April in greenhouse conditions. If the plants are planted in open ground, the second half of May is best suited. The site should be sunny, protected from drafts and wind from the north side by a fence.
The soil for tomatoes should be prepared in the autumn, if the soil has increased acidity, 1 sq. M. entered:
- up to 1kg of lime;
- up to 6 kg of organic matter;
- about 50 g of superphosphate.
If before that fertilizers were applied to the site (up to 10 kg per sq. M.), It is enough just to dig it up. Fertilizers containing potassium and nitrogen are applied during planting in the amount of 20 g and 30 g per square meter, respectively.
Fertilizer
Plants need fertilization
Throughout the growing season, tomatoes are fertilized up to 5 times with mineral and organic fertilizers. The frequency of fertilization depends on the fertility of the soil. The first time the plants are fed 10-14 days after planting the seedlings with a mixture of one part of cow manure, 9 parts of water and 20 g of superphosphate. A bucket of mixture is enough for 10 tomatoes.
Each next top dressing is carried out in 12-14 days: about 20 g of superphosphate, 15 g of potash fertilizers and no more than 10 g of ammonium nitrate are applied to each square meter of the plot or greenhouse.
Watering
Plants need to be constantly watered in the holes (at least 0.8 liters of water per tomato) in the afternoon in sunny weather. On cloudy days, watering can be done at any time of the day.
Watering is carried out before loosening the soil during the flowering of the first and second brush, as well as after using dry fertilizers. Lack of moisture inhibits plant growth and negatively affects the quality of the fruit.
Diseases of tomatoes

- if there is not enough phosphorus, the leaves begin to curl;
- with a lack of sulfur, the leaves first become pale, then turn yellow or turn red; the stems are fragile and break;
- if there is not enough iron, the plants stop growing.
Timely elimination of the lack of certain nutrients can prevent the development of painful conditions. Proper care is the key to healthy plants and a good harvest.
