Agrotechnics

The principles of growing tomatoes Tomsk f1 are similar to other varieties, do not have certain nuances.

Canopus tomato

The seeds of hybrid varieties of tomatoes do not need hardening and disinfection procedures. They already have a very high immunity to diseases of Solanaceous crops and pests.

It will be useful to conduct:

  • Sorting. It will allow you to get rid of weak, empty seeds at the initial stage. To do this, you need a saline solution (take a teaspoon of salt in a glass of slightly warm water), in which the seeds are placed for 20 minutes. Poor quality seed will float, and good seed will remain on the bottom. After the procedure, the seeds must be washed with clean water and dried on a paper towel;
  • Germination tests - germination of seeds in wet gauze. For this, a plate with low sides is taken, on which gauze is placed, soaked in water. Seeds are evenly spread on top of cheesecloth and covered with a thin layer of cotton wool soaked in water. Moisten them if necessary, to prevent excessive moisture and dryness.

On a note! The purchased soil mixture is not always of high quality: who knows, maybe the manufacturer poured land there from the construction site, or there is pure peat. It will be safer to prepare the soil yourself.

The soil mixture for planting seedlings is added:

  • Peat. An indispensable component that gives looseness to the soil, absorbs moisture and perfectly holds it back;
  • Sand or perlite. It is imperative to use only coarse, clean river sand. Used as a baking powder;
  • Leafy land. Endows the soil with lightness and looseness;
  • Humus. Only well rotted;
  • Sawdust - an excellent substitute for peat and sand.

Seeds of Tomsk are sown in prepared soil in the first half of March, covered with foil and removed to a warm place before sprouts appear. After that, the film is removed, and the seedlings are placed in a well-lit room. There should be regular watering.

Attention! It is better to use the land from the area where the seedlings will grow - this will speed up the survival process.

The pick is carried out after the formation of the first 2 leaves. A late pick is possible, after 3-4, but there is a possibility of poor engraftment of the tomato and its weak immunity.

Forty-day seedlings can be planted in open ground, according to the scheme - 40x60 cm.

Note. Seeds begin to germinate at a temperature of + 12 ... + 14 ° C.

Tomato Tomsk loves loose, porous, light, fertile and living soil, capable of absorbing moisture well and retaining it, with a normal level of acidity.

Required conditions for growing outdoors:

  1. No more than 2-3 plants per 1 sq. m;
  2. Normalization of flowers;
  3. Pinching of inflorescences, leaving 4-5 ovaries on them, and best of all 3 - then the fruits will be large, uniform;
  4. Regular removal of weeds;
  5. Steying;
  6. Removing the lower leaves;
  7. Regular watering, as the top fertile layer of the earth dries up, using only warm, settled barrel water.

Despite its good frost resistance, tomato Tomsk f1 belongs to heat-loving crops. However, temperatures above + 32 ° C negatively affect the viability of pollen grains and the efficiency of photosynthesis.

The Tomsk tomato variety needs to provide a high level of illumination so that all stages of vegetative growth pass with maximum efficiency, since the tomato is very light-requiring.

Mandatory garter

Tomsk belongs to the variety of tomatoes that require a mandatory garter to the support and pinching.

On a note.It is recommended to form a plant in 2-3 stems when grown in open ground. For a greenhouse, it is better to form a bush of 1-2 stems.

Top dressing is not a prerequisite for growing tomatoes, and many summer residents ignore it, but it certainly affects the yield of tomatoes. The better the plant is nourished, the better the result will be. You can't overdo it either.

Top dressing:

  1. On day 21 after planting, the seedlings are fertilized with nitrogenous substances that promote the growth of greenery. After 3 days, the bushes under the root are watered with a urea solution (for 10 liters of water - 1 tbsp. L.);
  2. When the first flowers appear, the plant is fed with potassium. Chicken droppings in the form of a solution are perfect (for a bucket of water 0.5 liters of droppings);
  3. When a brush of flowers appears, they are fed with potassium humate;
  4. Superphosphate is used 14 days after 3 feeding.

If necessary, feeding can be carried out during the period of fruit formation.
