Seedlings of tomatoes
Tomatoes Krasnobay are grown in seedlings. First, seeds are planted at home. Tomatoes develop rapidly with the provision of temperature and watering.
Preparing for planting
For planting Krasnobay tomatoes, soil is prepared, consisting of garden soil and humus. You can get the necessary substrate by combining peat, sand and sod land in a ratio of 7:1:1. It is allowed to use the soil sold in gardening stores or peat tablets.
The soil must be treated to get rid of pests and pathogens. It is placed in the oven for 15-20 minutes. Additionally, the soil is watered with a weak solution of potassium permanganate.
If the planting material is covered with a colored shell, then it is immediately planted in the ground. Such a shell contains a complex of nutrients necessary for the germination and development of Krasnobay tomatoes.
The seeds are deepened into moist soil to a depth of 1-1,5 cm. A layer of peat or fertile soil is poured on top. Landings are covered with glass or film, and for the next few days they are kept in a warm and dark place.
seedling conditions
The development of Krasnobay tomato seedlings occurs under certain environmental conditions:
- Temperature. Tomatoes provide a temperature regime: 20-25 ° C during the day and 15-18 ° C at night.
- Airing. The room with plants is regularly ventilated. However, tomatoes should not be exposed to drafts.
- Watering. Tomatoes are watered with settled water using a sprayer after the appearance of the first leaf. When 4-5 sheets form in Krasnobay tomatoes, they are watered 2 times a week. It is necessary to monitor the moisture content of the soil, which contributes to the spread of diseases.
- Lighting. Within 12 hours, tomatoes should have access to sunlight. If necessary, equip additional lighting and install phytolamps.
2 weeks before the transfer of the Krasnobay variety to a permanent place, hardening of plants begins. They are taken out to the balcony or loggia. At first, the time spent in the open air will be 2 hours, gradually this period is increased.
Landing in the ground
Tomatoes that have reached a height of 30-40 cm are suitable for transfer to a permanent place. Plants already have 5-7 fully formed leaves and a powerful root system.
A place for planting tomatoes Krasnobay is chosen in the fall. The best predecessors for tomatoes are cucumbers, cabbage, carrots, beets, onions, garlic, legumes. Planting is not performed on the beds where peppers, potatoes, eggplants grew.
In the greenhouse, the top layer of soil is removed, in which insects and pathogens hibernate. To disinfect the greenhouse, Bordeaux mixture or potassium permanganate solution is used.
Tomatoes Krasnobay are transferred along with a clod of earth. Leave 40 cm between plants. When organizing several rows, make a gap of 60 cm.
The roots of Krasnobay tomatoes are covered with earth, which is slightly compacted. Be sure to water the plants and tie them to a support.
Care of tomatoes
Tomatoes are cared for by watering and fertilizing. According to the description and reviews, Krasnobay tomatoes are formed by removing stepchildren to obtain a high yield. Preventive treatments help prevent the spread of diseases and pests.
Watering plants
Krasnobay tomatoes are watered weekly. For irrigation, settled water, warmed in barrels, is suitable. Water is brought under the root of the plants, preventing it from getting on the leaves and stems.
The intensity of watering depends on the stage of development of tomatoes. Before the formation of inflorescences, they are watered with 4 liters of water. During the flowering period, tomatoes are watered using 2 liters of water every 3-4 days.
After watering, the soil is loosened. So plants better absorb moisture and nutrients. Mulching the beds with peat or humus helps to maintain a high level of moisture.
Application of fertilizers
Krasnobay tomatoes are fed 3-4 times during the season. There must be 14 days between treatments.
The first application of fertilizers occurs 7-10 days after the transfer of plants to a permanent place. To feed the Krasnobay variety, a mixture of organic and mineral fertilizers is used. First, a solution is obtained consisting of mullein and water in a ratio of 1:10. 20 g of superphosphate is added to the resulting fertilizer.
When flowering, Krasnobay tomatoes are treated with a solution of boric acid. For 2 liters of water, 2 g of the substance is required. Spraying stimulates the formation of ovaries, improves the taste of fruits.
After 2-3 weeks, repeat phosphorus-potassium top dressing. The solution is applied under the root of the plants in the morning or evening.
Shrub formation
According to its characteristics and description, the Krasnobay tomato variety is tall. Proper formation of tomatoes ensures a high yield and avoids dense plantings. The plant is formed into 1 stem.
Excess inflorescences are removed manually. No more than 5 flowers are left on the brush. At the end of the growing season pinch out the growing point. Leave 7 brushes on the bushes.
Protection against diseases and pests
The variety Krasnobay is resistant to Fusarium, Cladosporiosis, Tobacco Mosaic Virus. Viral diseases are the most dangerous for tomatoes, because they cannot be treated. The affected bushes are eliminated, and the planting site of the tomatoes is changed.
With high humidity, fungal diseases develop on tomatoes. They are identified by dark spots that occur on the stems, tops and fruits.
Of the pests, Krasnobay tomatoes attract gall midges, aphids, whiteflies, and bears. Insects are controlled by spraying plantings with insecticides.
From folk remedies, tobacco dust or wood ash is used, which is sprayed over the beds. Homemade preparations based on soda, onion and garlic husks are effective.
