Landing order
Tomatoes are grown by seedling method. First, the seeds are planted, while the grown tomatoes are transferred to a greenhouse or to an open-air garden. The soil for planting in the fall is fertilized with humus.
Getting the seedlings
Tomato seeds are planted in small boxes filled with garden soil, humus and peat. It is previously recommended to place the soil in a hot oven or microwave. The treated soil is left for two weeks.
Work begins in the second half of February. Seeds are soaked for a day in water, where you can add a little salt.
The containers are covered with film or glass, then moved to a dark place. For germination, seeds require a constant temperature of 25 to 30 degrees.
After germination, the tomatoes are moved to the windowsill or to another place where there is access to light. Plants are provided with access to sunlight for 12 hours. As the soil dries up, white filling tomatoes are sprayed with warm water from a spray bottle.
Two weeks before planting the plants in the garden, they are transferred to the balcony, where the temperature is maintained at 14-16 degrees. The first few days, the seedlings are hardened for 2 hours. Gradually, the time of her stay in the fresh air is increased.
Growing in the greenhouse
Soil preparation in the greenhouse for tomatoes White filling is carried out in the autumn. The top layer of soil 10 cm thick is recommended to be completely replaced, since insects and fungal spores hibernate in it.
The soil for tomatoes is dug up and humus is introduced. Tomatoes are not grown in the same greenhouse two years in a row. After eggplant and peppers, tomatoes are not planted due to the presence of similar diseases. For this crop, the soil is suitable, where onions, garlic, beans, cabbage, cucumbers previously grew.
Seedlings are transferred to a heifer at the age of one and a half to two months. Holes 20 cm deep are prepared for tomatoes. They are staggered in 30 cm increments.
Tomatoes are carefully transferred to the holes along with an earthy clod and covered with soil. The soil should be compacted, after which the plants are watered abundantly.
Landing in open ground
Tomato White filling is transferred to open ground when constant warm weather is established, when spring frosts pass. By this time, the seedlings have a large root system, up to 25 cm high and 7-8 leaves.
The landing area must be protected from the wind and constantly illuminated by the sun. It is necessary to prepare the beds in the fall: dig them up, add compost (5 kg per square meter), substances with phosphorus and potassium (20 g each), nitrogen-containing substances (10 g).
Plants are placed at a distance of 30 cm. 50 cm are left between rows. After transferring the seedlings, the soil is compacted and watering is performed. A wooden or metal peg is installed as a support.
Care of tomatoes
Tomato White filling needs constant care, which includes watering and top dressing. Periodically, plantings are treated for diseases and pests. For tomatoes, it is necessary to loosen the soil in order to improve its water and air permeability.
The variety does not need pinching. In open areas, it is recommended to tie up plants so that they do not fall in the rain or wind.
Watering
After transferring to a permanent place, the tomatoes are not watered for a week. In the future, moisture will be required once or twice a week.
Regular watering allows you to maintain soil moisture at 90%. Humidity should be maintained at 50%, which is ensured by ventilation of the greenhouse with tomatoes.
Tomatoes White filling is watered under the root, trying to protect the leaves and stem from moisture. Work should be carried out in the morning or evening, when there is no direct exposure to the sun. Water should settle and warm, only after that it is used for irrigation.
Before the appearance of inflorescences, tomatoes are watered twice a week, the water consumption for each bush does not exceed 2 liters. During the flowering period, tomatoes should be watered once a week with the maximum allowable volume of water (5 liters).
Watering is combined with loosening the soil. It is important to prevent the formation of a dry crust on the surface. Tomatoes also need to be hilled, which contributes to the development of the root system.
Additional fertilizing
During the season, White filling tomatoes are fed according to the following scheme:
- Two weeks after the transfer of plants to the ground, a urea solution is prepared. A bucket of water requires a tablespoon of this substance. Under each bush pour 1 liter of fertilizer.
- After the next 7 days, 0,5 l of liquid chicken manure and 10 l of water are mixed. For one plant, 1,5 liters of the finished product is taken.
- When the first inflorescences appear, wood ash is introduced into the soil.
- During the period of active flowering, dilute in a bucket of water 1 tbsp. l. potassium guate. This amount is enough to water two tomato bushes.
- During the ripening of the planting fruits, they are sprayed with a solution of superphosphate (1 tablespoon per liter of water).
Folk remedies are used to feed tomatoes. One of them is a yeast infusion that stimulates plant growth. It is obtained by mixing 2 tbsp. l. sugar and a package of dry yeast, which are diluted with warm water.
The resulting solution is added to 10 liters of water. For watering under each bush, 0,5 liters of the resulting product is enough.
