Getting the seedlings
The key to successful growing tomatoes is the formation of healthy seedlings. Seeds of the Syzran pipochka variety are planted in small containers at home. Tomato seedlings develop in the presence of a certain temperature regime, light and moisture.
Planting seeds
The soil for planting tomato seeds Syzran pipochka is obtained by mixing garden soil, humus, sand and peat. It is allowed to use a universal soil for growing seedlings or peat tablets.
Before planting tomatoes, the soil is heated in a water bath for disinfection. The soil can be left in cold weather on the balcony for several days or placed in the refrigerator.
Tomato seeds Syzran pipochka are wrapped in a wet cloth and kept for 2 days. This stimulates seed germination.
Containers are filled with moistened soil. The planting material is deepened by 1 cm. An interval of 2 cm is made between the seeds.
When planting tomatoes in separate containers, picking can be avoided. 2-3 seeds are placed in each container. After germination, the strongest tomatoes are left.
Landings are covered with plastic wrap. The formation of sprouts takes place in the dark at a temperature of more than 20°C. Containers with sprouts are transferred to a lighted place.
seedling conditions
For the development of tomato seedlings provide a number of conditions:
- temperature during the day from 20 to 26 ° C;
- lowering the temperature at night to 16°C;
- weekly watering with settled water;
- constant lighting 12 hours a day.
The room with tomatoes is ventilated, but the seedlings are protected from drafts and cold air. The soil is sprayed with warm settled water from a spray bottle.
In regions with short daylight hours, tomato seedlings require additional lighting. At a distance of 25 cm from the tomatoes, lighting fixtures are suspended.
When 2 leaves appear, the Syzran Pipochka tomatoes are seated in separate containers. The soil is used in the same composition as when planting seeds.
2 weeks before planting, the tomatoes are hardened to adapt to new conditions. First, the window is opened for several hours, then the seedlings are moved to the balcony. Plants are left in direct sunlight and outdoors.
Gradually reduce watering. Tomatoes are fed with a weak solution of ammonium nitrate and superphosphate. Top dressing is repeated if the plants stretch and look oppressed.
Landing in the ground
Tomatoes that have reached a height of 25 cm and have 5-7 full leaves are subject to planting. Tomatoes Syzran pipochka are grown in open areas or in greenhouses.
A place for growing tomatoes is allocated in the fall. Tomatoes prefer lit places and light fertile soil. The culture grows well after onions, garlic, cucumbers, pumpkins, cabbage, legumes. If any varieties of tomatoes, peppers, eggplants or potatoes grew on the beds, then another place is chosen for planting.
In the greenhouse, a soil layer 12 cm thick is replaced. Poor soil is fertilized with phosphorus and potassium substances in the amount of 20 g per 1 sq. m. In the spring, deep loosening is carried out and holes are made for planting tomatoes.
Tomatoes are placed with an interval of 40 cm. Plants can be planted in 2 rows at a distance of 50 cm. When placing tomatoes in a checkerboard pattern, subsequent care is simplified and the plantings are provided with space for development.
The soil in containers with tomato seedlings is moistened. Tomatoes are taken out without breaking the earthy clod. The roots need to be covered with earth and compacted a little. 5 liters of water are poured under the bush.
Care of tomatoes
Tomatoes of the Syzran pipochka variety are looked after by watering and fertilizing. In order to obtain a high yield, pinch off excess shoots. Tomatoes need preventive treatments for diseases.
Watering plants
The order of watering is determined by the stage of development of tomatoes. Yellowing and drooping shoots indicate a lack of moisture. Excess moisture leads to root rot and the spread of disease.
Watering scheme for tomatoes:
- a week after planting and before the formation of buds, 2 liters of water are added under the bush with an interval of 3 days;
- flowering plants are watered with 5 liters of water weekly;
- during fruiting, moisture is applied after 4 days in the amount of 3 liters under the bush.
For irrigation use warm settled water. The introduction of moisture should occur in the morning or evening, after which the greenhouse is ventilated to reduce humidity.
Application of fertilizers
Regular feeding of tomatoes Syzran pipochka are the key to a high yield. 15 days after planting, the tomatoes are watered with a solution of bird droppings at a concentration of 1:15.
The next top dressing should be done in 2 weeks. For tomatoes, a solution is prepared based on superphosphate and potassium sulfate. 10 g of each substance is added to 30 liters of water. The solution is poured over the tomatoes under the root. The treatment is repeated at fruiting to speed up the ripening of tomatoes and improve their taste.
The use of organic substances is alternated with natural top dressing. Between treatments make a pause of 14 days. Wood ash is added to the soil, which is also added to the water a day before irrigation.
Shaping and tying
Variety Syzran pipochka is formed into 1 stem. Extra stepchildren less than 5 cm long, which appear from the leaf sinus, are removed manually. The formation of the bush directs the forces of tomatoes to bear fruit.
