How to grow seedlings
Sowing of seeds begins two months before planting seedlings in the ground. The soil mixture is prepared from garden soil and humus in equal quantities. The prepared soil is disinfected with a dark potassium permanganate solution.
Before sowing, seeds are treated with a growth stimulant to improve germination. The soil mixture is laid out in planting containers, filling them halfway. You can plant in a common wooden box and individual plastic or peat cups.
The grains are laid to a depth of 1.5 cm, sprinkled with soil on top and the soil is generously moistened with warm water using a spray bottle. Then the planting containers are covered with film or glass and left in a dark and warm room at a temperature of at least 23 degrees.
Reference . If the seeds are sown shallow, most of them will germinate along with the seed coat, which will noticeably slow down their further growth.
When seedlings appear, the containers are moved to a lighted place. Daylight hours for seedlings should be at least 16 hours. If there is insufficient natural light, add fluorescent lamps.
Water the seedlings moderately, without waterlogging the soil . To prevent excess moisture from retaining, holes are made at the bottom of the planting containers. Water only with warm, settled water along the edge of the nursery with a shallow watering can. After watering, loosen the soil with a regular fork or wooden stick. This procedure improves the air permeability of the soil, which promotes the full development of sprouts.
When two true leaves appear, the seedlings dive, planting them in separate containers. During this period, you can apply the first mineral supplement.
Reference . After picking, the seedlings are more adapted to transplanting into open ground.
10 days before planting in a permanent place, seedlings begin to adapt to open ground conditions by hardening off the seedlings. To do this, it is taken out into the open air for 30 minutes, gradually increasing the stay time to several hours. At the same time, the night temperature in the room where the seedlings are brought is reduced to 14 degrees.
How to plant and care for crops correctly?
Tomatoes are grown by seedlings and direct sowing in the ground. The tomato requires care, obligatory shaping and gartering to supports.
Seeds, using the seedling method, are sown in 55–60 days. Observing humidity, lighting and temperature conditions. Feeding with growth stimulants will help to form green mass and powerful roots for the growing seedling. Seedlings should be picked at the stage when the second true leaf appears. Separate containers are filled with nutritious soil mixture and one plant is transplanted into a pot.
Picking makes tomatoes more stress-resistant when transplanted into the ground.
Hardening of the plant is carried out 10 days before transferring to a permanent place. The seedlings get used to the sun and wind. The first day is 15–20 minutes, subsequent days, increasing the period, leading to 7–8 hours.
How to grow tomatoes
After two months, the seedlings are ready to be transplanted to a permanent location. First, dig up the soil for tomatoes and make small holes no more than 15 cm deep. It is best to replant on a cloudy day or in the evening, since the vegetable crop does not like direct sunlight and it will be more difficult for it to adapt to new conditions under unfavorable factors.
Planting pattern: 60 cm – distance between seedlings, 40 cm left between rows, per 1 sq. m place 3-4 plants.
After transplanting, the holes are moderately watered with warm, settled water, the soil is loosened and hilled up. Within a week, the young bushes get used to the new place.
Regular watering is established as soon as the seedlings finally take root and begin to grow. Water moderately with warm, settled water, strictly at the root, without getting on the leaves. For this variety, drip irrigation is the best option for moistening the soil.
After watering, the soil is loosened, hilled and mulched. Mulching retains moisture in the beds longer and prevents the penetration of many pests.
The first feeding is carried out 7-10 days after transplantation. Feed with a full range of mineral fertilizers or organic matter (mullein infusion or bird droppings). They also use an infusion of weeds, which is left to ferment in the sun for a week. Organic matter is diluted in a bucket of water in a ratio of 1:15.
The culture requires mandatory regular pinching and tying up of tall plants. Wooden stakes or metal rods are installed next to each bush as a support. The seedlings are tied to the support immediately when transplanted to a permanent place. As the branches grow, they are also tied to supports so that they do not break from the weight of ripe fruits.
The crop is formed into one, two or three trunks, depending on the region where it grows. In the southern regions, the plant is grown in one or two trunks, and in the northern regions more stepsons are left for better fruiting.
Diseases and pests
This variety of tomatoes is immune to diseases dangerous to the nightshade family (these include cladosporiosis, yellow leaf curl, fruit blossom end rot, verticillium blight, root rot, fusarium wilt). Some of them are of viral etiology, while others belong to fungal species. The creators of the hybrid inserted immunity into genes that can resist both viral and fungal infections. This is undoubtedly a huge plus of the crop, which makes it increasingly popular among gardeners.
Nevertheless, a reminder of preventive measures will not be superfluous, even if we are talking about such a disease-resistant type of tomato.
Prevention includes compliance with the basic rules of crop rotation and agricultural technology. Planting tomatoes in soil that is enriched with vitamins and minerals allows the plants to receive all the necessary nutrients that promote full growth and development. Moderate watering and timely loosening are the same necessary preventive measures as spraying plants with decoctions of fragrant herbs.
If you water on time and correctly, the roots will not rot from excess moisture, and dry leaves, unlike wet ones, will not get sunburned. As for loosening, it improves the air permeability of the soil and prevents the appearance of pests living underground. Mulching beds also performs a similar function.
Spraying, for example, with burdock decoction prevents the appearance of whiteflies, since they do not like this smell. To combat it, pheromone traps are also used, which are intended only for flying pests, without causing harm to other insects.
Soap solutions protect against aphids and prevent slugs from moving freely along the stem, making it slippery.
Regular inspection of bushes for the presence of parasitic insects prevents their further spread.
Pests and diseases
Tomato leaves have insecticidal properties. Consequently, decoctions from their leaves are used against various caterpillars and other pests that gnaw leaves. For example, against the onion borer, cabbage cutworm caterpillars, gooseberry sawfly, etc. But the tomatoes themselves, unfortunately, are also attacked by pests and a considerable number of diseases.
- Whitefly (an extremely small insect, its length is only 1.5 mm). The damage is mainly caused by insect larvae. They suck the sap of plants, causing a black coating to appear on their leaves. To fight it, you first need to weed out the weeds.
- Spider mite. Its size is even smaller than that of the whitefly. Just half a millimeter! These pests suck out the cell sap, causing the underside of the leaf to become covered with cobwebs.
Unfortunately, these are not all pests. Only the most common ones. Some diseases will be listed below:
- Late blight. The causative agent of the disease is a fungus that attacks fruits, stems and leaves.
- Apex rot. This disease affects those fruits that are still green or still ripening. This disease can develop at high temperatures and low humidity levels.
Of course, these are not all tomato diseases. There are actually many more of them. But summer residents still continue to grow this healthy fruit in garden beds and greenhouses because of its unique taste.
For a more detailed look at the “Signor Tomato” variety, you can view the photographs below.
The nuances of growing in open ground and greenhouses
The main difference between this tomato crop and others is that it can be grown not only by seedlings, but also without seedlings. Seeds are planted to a depth of 5 cm in open ground when the soil warms up to 10-12 degrees. The main thing is to protect the crop from drafts, otherwise the young bushes will not grow into healthy and strong plants.
The variety has fairly strong immunity against many diseases and is not susceptible to attacks by insect pests. However, until the bushes get stronger, it is necessary to regularly inspect them for the presence of parasites that like to feast on young greenery.
When planting seeds in open ground, be sure to follow the rules of crop rotation : this not only leads to a good quantitative indicator, but also keeps the plants strong and healthy throughout the growing season.
If you plant a tomato in the ground where winter grains, legumes, cabbage or carrots previously grew, this will have a beneficial effect on the crop. Such precursors do not draw nutrients from the soil that are necessary for the growth and development of tomatoes.
When growing crops in greenhouse conditions, it is necessary to regularly ventilate closed structures. This is due to the fact that the habitat of many harmful insects and fungal infections is greenhouse. A regular supply of fresh air destroys the pathogenic environment, and the likelihood of disease occurrence is significantly reduced.
The height of greenhouse bushes differs from those growing in open beds . To limit growth, the crown of greenhouse plants is pinched. The lower leaves are removed, as they are constantly in contact with moisture in the beds. Being always wet, they can rot, which will lead to the spread of fungal spores.
Agricultural cultivation technology
One of the ways to increase crop productivity is to use crop rotation. The best precursors for tomatoes are winter grains, early cabbage, annual legumes, and cucumber.
The hybrid is recommended to be grown in spring and summer in film structures on humus-enriched soil and artificial substrates.
Seeds can be planted directly in a permanent place when the soil temperature reaches +10-12 °C. The planting depth with this method is 5-6 cm. When growing crops in seedlings in containers with prepared soil, the seeds are placed in the grooves made to a depth of 1 cm.
To form healthy seedlings, additional lighting with fluorescent lamps is recommended to extend daylight hours to 16 hours. In the phase of formation of 1-2 true leaves, diving is carried out in separate containers.
For this purpose, you can use peat pots, with which the seedlings are transferred to a permanent place. During the growing season, it is recommended to apply mineral fertilizers and ensure timely watering.
Obtaining an optimal yield per 1 m² is ensured by adding 40-50 kg of organic fertilizer to the soil, 700 g of complex fertilizer per 10 m². Potassium and ammonium nitrate are applied as fertilizers.
The use of drip irrigation has a positive effect on the development of the root system and fruit formation. To optimize weed control, mulch the soil with last year's grass or non-woven black fiber.
Harvesting and application
Collection begins from the end of June - beginning of July. Ripe vegetables are picked one at a time, as they do not ripen together, not in whole clusters. The fruiting of the crop is extended, which makes it possible to consume fortified ripe vegetables for a long time.
The species belongs to the salad category, so its main purpose is to eat fresh. The fruits are great for a variety of salads, appetizers, hot and vegetable dishes. They do not lose their taste when baked with meat.
They are also suitable for canning in pieces. Sometimes, for a variety of colors, pink vegetables are mixed with red ones, which looks very colorful and appetizing.
Tomatoes are processed into tomato products: juices, ketchups, pastes.
Ripe vegetables cannot be stored for long-term storage . They are recommended to be used within 10 days. Otherwise, they will not retain their marketable appearance and will lose their taste.
Principles of tomato agricultural technology
Planting of mature seedlings in the greenhouse begins no earlier than May. The soil in the room should warm up to +15 °C. Hybrid Eigen does not require a special approach to cultivation and care. The culture grows even in unfavorable conditions. However, experienced farmers advise following the watering and fertilizing regime.
Landing
Holes for seedlings are dug at a distance of 40 cm from each other with a depth of 10 cm. The distance between rows is 50 cm. Before planting, the holes are generously watered with a hot, strong solution of potassium permanganate. Planting work is carried out in the evening or in cloudy weather.
Care
The bushes are watered for the first time 5-6 days after planting. Subsequently, the soil is moistened every 4-5 days. Water consumption – 5 l. per 1 m².
It is important not to overwater the tomatoes, otherwise the fruits will be sour and watery. Eigen F1 is fertilized 3-4 times during the entire growing season:
Eigen F1 is fertilized 3-4 times during the entire growing season:
- The first fertilizing is applied 10–14 days after planting in the ground. For 500 ml of water take 20 g of nitrophoska, 20 g of mullein and bring the volume to 10 liters. 1 liter is poured onto one bush. solution.
- The second feeding is applied after 10 days (5 liters per 1 m²). For 1 l. water take 20 g of chicken manure and 10 g of potassium sulfate. The volume is adjusted to 10 liters.
- The third feeding is applied after 14 days. For 10 l. water take 40 g of ash and 20 g of superphosphate.
- During intensive formation of ovaries and fruiting, the bushes are fed with 10 g of sodium humate and 20 g of superphosphate per 10 liters. water.
Tomatoes growing in a greenhouse need fresh air and optimal temperature. To ensure comfortable conditions, 2 hours after each watering, air baths lasting 30–40 minutes are arranged. In hot weather, the windows are constantly kept open.
The temperature during the day should not exceed +20 °C, at night – +15 °C.
Possible difficulties
Difficulties in growing Eigen tomatoes are related to pollination. Hives are placed in the greenhouse or the windows are kept open to provide easy access for insects.
In sunny weather, the bushes are slightly shaken so that pollen does not fall off, otherwise pollination will not occur. Then the soil is watered and the flowers are irrigated with a spray bottle.
Diseases and pests
Despite the strong immunity to verticillium, fusarium, cladosporiosis, TMV, and yellow leaf curl virus, gardeners are advised to take measures to prevent late blight infection. Infection can be recognized by external signs: brown spots with a grayish tint appear on the leaves, fruits and stems, and a whitish coating forms on the back of the leaves.
Preventive measures include treating the greenhouse with sulfur bombs, disinfecting the soil with copper sulfate, and mulching the top layer with sawdust or peat.
Help fight late blight:
- biological agents “Trichodermin”, “Fitosporin”, “Baktofit”;
- chemical preparations “Quadris”, “Bravo”, “Ridomil Gold”, “Quadro”, “Ditan”, “Consento”.
- 1 cup of garlic shoots is soaked for 48 hours in warm water, then 2 g of potassium permanganate is added;
- 1 l. whey;
- 1 kg. hay and 30 g of urea are poured into 10 liters. water and leave for 72 hours;
- 300 g of ash is poured into 1.5 liters. water, bring to a boil, filter and mix in 50 g of tar soap shavings.
Solutions are used to spray bushes before the formation of ovaries. Further treatment is carried out every two weeks.
The drugs “Borneo”, “Fitoverm”, “Flumite”, “Aktara”, “Epin”, “Zircon” help to defeat aphids, whiteflies, and spider mites.
Recipes for folk remedies for insects:
- 10 l. water, 50 g wood ash, 50 ml. stir the soap and strain. Use twice a month throughout the growing season.
- 10 l. boiling water and 400 g of crushed tobacco for 48 hours. Treat the bushes at least three times, once every 3-4 days.
- Infuse 80 g of onion peel into 5 liters. water for 6-8 hours, add 50 g of grated soap and mix. Treat the plants twice with an interval of five days.
Slugs are removed manually or the bushes are sprayed with a solution of ammonia (4 tablespoons of ammonia per 10 liters of water).
