Agricultural technology of cultivation

Tomato Slot: characteristics and description of the variety

Agrotechnology is no different from the standard one. Main steps:

  • Seeds are sown in rows in well-moistened soil (substrate) and covered with foil to retain moisture. When the first shoots appear, the film is removed.
  • For active growth of seedlings, the soil must be systematically moistened, while preventing stagnation of water.
  • Plants dive in the presence of 3-5 true leaves.

Note! Gardeners disagree about tomato diving. Some believe that after picking the central root, the plant actively begins to develop lateral roots, which helps to improve growth.

Others, on the contrary, argue that diving weakens the plant for a while and slows down its growth, while non-dived seedlings recover faster.

Growing

Before planting in open ground, the seedlings are hardened. Tomatoes are preferably grown in loose soil with a pH of 6–6.5.

Important! It is not recommended to plant seedlings in the soil on which potatoes previously grew.

When planting seedlings, it needs to be buried a little. Then the plant will give additional lateral roots, which will have a positive effect on its growth.

On a note. As it grows, in order to increase the yield, it is necessary to correctly form the bush: cut off the lower leaves (up to the first bunch) and side shoots (pinching), pinch the top (when forming 5-6 bunches on the bush), tie the stem.

Watering is moderate. With high humidity, the risk of late blight increases.

To get a good harvest, tomatoes need fertilizing with organic and mineral fertilizers.

Fertilizer

Mandatory feeding:

  • Immediately after the seedlings have taken root;
  • During the flowering of the first bunch.

The optimum temperature for growth and fruiting is 20-25 ° C.
