Tomato Marusya is grown in a seedling and non-seedling way. Further cultivation of tomato depends on temperature conditions: in the southern warm regions, the Marusya tomato gives an excellent harvest in the open field, and in areas where there is little heat and sunlight, a good result can be obtained only under the film.

Note. The optimal time for sowing a plant is 55-60 days before planting in the ground (first half of March). Tomato seedlings planted earlier are capable of stretching strongly.

The soil for planting seeds for seedlings can be taken ready-made, purchased, in which all the necessary trace elements and substances are present, or made independently from 1 part of sod land, humus and 0.5 part of sand.

Seedlings of tomatoes

For cultivation, you can use any containers (boxes, pots), into which prepared soil is poured, on the surface of which tomato seeds are laid out and sprinkled with soil, in the optimal version - about 2 cm thick.

The best temperature regime for the germination of tomato seeds in Maroussia is 23-25 ​​degrees Celsius. After seedlings emerge, the room temperature should be lowered to prevent the seedlings from pulling out.

Note. The seeds undergo preliminary disinfection, germination and hardening procedures. Soil for sowing also undergoes disinfection: calcining in the oven, sprinkling with boiling water or a concentrated solution of potassium permanganate.

Picking plants into pots (containers) is carried out after tomato sprouts release 2 true leaves.

Young tomato seedlings are required:

  • Lots of light. The maximum possible natural lighting, plus additional lighting using special devices;
  • Abundant humidity;
  • Suitable temperature readings.

Planting tomatoes in open ground is carried out only after the frosts have passed (end of May, June), depending on the growing region and climatic conditions, the main reference point is the warmed earth up to 20-25 cm in depth by 16 degrees.

Important! Even short-term frosts can destroy strong tomato bushes.

The readiness of a plant for transplanting into open ground is indicated by the appearance of the first flower cluster on it. It will be better to complete the transplant procedure until the buds begin to open. If it is still cold outside, and the tomato has begun to bloom, you need to carefully pinch off the peduncle, which will allow you to transplant the bush into open ground with minimal losses for it.

Healthy tomato seedlings are different:

  • Powerful root system;
  • Thick and sturdy stem;
  • Dense, fleshy foliage.

Important! The process of acclimatization of young tomato seedlings is better on cloudy days. To obtain the maximum yield, the land should be dredged in the fall, for this the area where the tomatoes will grow must be dug up and fertilized (rotten manure, compost are suitable). In the spring, before planting, only mineral fertilizers are added to the ground.

It is recommended to plant tomato bushes according to the scheme: 70 cm - in the aisle and 60 cm - between plants in a row, per 1 sq. meter - up to 6-7 plants. The site should be open, sunny, without shading, away from tall trees and fences. The bush is formed into 1-2 stems.

  • Tying, if appropriate;
  • Pasynkovaniya (up to the first brush).

Important! A suitable coefficient of air humidity for tomato Maroussia is 45-60%; in more elevated conditions, the threat of infection of the plant by fungi increases.

Top dressing

Any kind of tomato literally draws out all the nutrients from the soil, significantly depleting it. Therefore, systematic feeding becomes a mandatory attribute in caring for a plant, otherwise the risk of its abnormal development increases.

The first feeding of seedlings is carried out 10 days after planting in the exhaust gas. Mineral fertilizers (nitrogen, potash, phosphoric) are used. Then every 2 weeks, only without nitrogen fertilizers, otherwise the green mass will begin to grow intensively.
