The seeds are washed in a solution of potassium permanganate and soaked for 12 hours in a growth stimulator. Planting material must be planted in prepared soil, after making holes, one centimeter deep. Sowing seeds is carried out at a distance of two centimeters from each other. Sprinkle with earth or peat on top.After all the work, the boxes are covered with foil to create a greenhouse effect and rapid seed germination.

When the first sprouts appear, containers with seedlings are taken out on a window sill illuminated by daylight and the film is removed. With a lack of light, additional lighting with lamps will be required.

When the first 2-3 leaves appear and the root system is strengthened, the seedlings are transplanted into separate peat pots and other containers. Plants are watered regularly.

Attention! Watering delicate sprouts in the first stage of development is best done with a spray bottle, using a finely dispersed watering can.

A week before planting in open ground, the sprouts are hardened. Seedlings are taken out into the street for several hours, then for a day, and at the end they are left for a whole day.

Work with seedlings

Seedlings are planted in open ground or in a greenhouse at the age of 65-70 days. Before planting plants, you need to choose a place and prepare the soil.

Important! The planting site must be sunny. The land is loosened, cleaned of last year's leaves, roots, and other weeds. For the fertility of the earth, mineral fertilizers are used, previously diluted in water, mullein or chicken droppings.

Planting seedlings is carried out after the threat of frost has passed and warm sunny days come. In a garden bed, plants are planted at a distance of 50-60 centimeters from each other. There should be no more than 3 crops per square meter. As the seedlings grow, they require the formation of a bush and a garter to strong supports.

Grassing will improve the yield of the bush. To do this, leave the main and main stem, one stepson, the rest are removed. When the plant reaches the desired height, pinch the top. It is important to regularly water the crop, remove weeds from the garden, and loosen the soil. A week later, the first fertilizing is made with mineral fertilizers, chicken droppings, mullein. During the season, feeding is carried out at least three times.

Attention! A prerequisite for good fruiting of the plant is regular mulching and loosening of the soil (preferably with sawdust), top dressing, watering.

Diseases

When deciding to start growing a golden miracle, you need to prepare for its protection from diseases and pests. It is better to prevent the moment of illness in advance than to fight microorganisms when the culture is already affected.

Plant diseases:

Yellow tomatoes often suffer from cladosporiosis, especially if they are grown in greenhouse conditions. The disease is recognized by yellow spots and bloom on the leaves. To combat the disease, purchased chemicals are used. Maintaining optimal humidity (60 percent) and air temperature (30 degrees and no more) in greenhouses will help prevent disease.

Fusarium is a terrible disease that cannot be treated. The leaves are deformed, acquire a yellow or pale green color, the veins brighten. Diseased plants are removed from the root bed and burned. To prevent disease, seedlings are planted in well-heated ground.

The tobacco mosaic virus is characterized by the appearance of yellow blotches on the leaves, then they turn pale. Deformation of the leaves occurs, uneven ripening of fruits and a decrease in their size. The disease will prevent the disinfection of seedlings and all gardening equipment with a five percent solution of potassium permanganate.
