Agrotechnical norms
Tomato Dimensionless according to the characteristics and description of the variety, you can grow seedlings or immediately sow seeds in the ground. Consider the seedling method.
Growing seedlings
Seedlings before planting in a permanent place should be about 60 days old. It is not difficult to calculate the planting time, because each gardener focuses on the climatic features of the region. Usually such work is done in late March or early April.
Tomato seeds Dimensionless, gardeners write about this in reviews, they are treated in a solution of potassium permanganate or boric acid before sowing. Then laid out on a towel to dry.
After sowing the seeds of a large-fruited variety in boxes, cover with a film (do not forget to remove at the first sprouts) and put in heat. Watering is carried out as needed. When 2-3 leaves appear on the tomatoes (cotyledons are not considered), the seedlings swoop down in a container with a volume of at least 500 ml. In such a container, plants will feel comfortable.
Seedlings should be watered abundantly, but infrequently so that the water does not stagnate. You can feed with wood ash.
Planting
Seedlings at the age of 50-60 days are stocky, as a rule, with the first peduncles and even ovaries. In order not to lose the first fruits (they are the largest on the bush), tomatoes require hardening. They are taken out into the air for 10-12 days, so that the plants have time to get used to the air temperature. This is especially important if tomatoes are grown outdoors.
Ridges are prepared in the fall, humus, compost or mineral fertilizers are added to it. Before planting, they dig holes, fill them with boiling water of a dark pink color (with potassium permanganate). When the soil cools down, plant tomatoes.
Immediately after planting, it is necessary to put 2 supports for each bush. They are tied up in several places so that in the future there will be no problems with the plant falling from the weight of the fruit. The lower leaves and stepchildren need to be cut off, all the rest are left. How to do this, you can see in the photo.
Further care of plants is simple:
- timely watering and feeding plants;
- weeding and loosening the soil;
- tying the stem and brushes;
- cutting off excess leaves to provide sufficient lighting and air circulation;
- fight against diseases and pests.
As you can see, growing a Dimensionless is not so difficult. Even beginners will cope with the work. The main thing is to follow agricultural technology and have a desire to work on the land.
