Tips for growing tomato variety Ivan da Marya

"Ivan da Marya" does not present any difficulties in care, which is no different from other tomatoes. The only problem arises when forming and pinching very fast growing shoots.

When to sow seedlings

Due to the short ripening period, “Ivan da Marya” is quite suitable for planting seeds directly into the ground. However, there are several “BUTs”.

• Firstly, the seeds can be chewed by rodents.
• Secondly, this method is only suitable for southern regions with a hot climate.
• Thirdly, when planted in seedlings, tomatoes ripen faster.

Seeds are sown in a shallow, wide container filled with special soil. After planting, the soil is watered and the container is covered with cling film. After two true leaves appear, the tomatoes are planted in individual containers.

How many days do the seeds take to germinate?

Seeds germinate quickly. Already on days 5-7 you can see shoots. After this, the film is removed, and care for the sprouts continues. They are watered regularly and fed 1-2 times with nitrogen fertilizers.

When and at what distance to plant in the ground

At the beginning of May, seedlings can be planted in a permanent place. But by the time of planting, frosts should stop and warm weather should set in (not lower than 16℃). The bushes should also grow to about 30 cm.

Since tomato bushes are quite spreading, more than 3 plants are not planted per plant.

The area should be well lit by the sun, protected from the wind, fertilized and loosened. They choose a place for it where nightshades have not grown for at least 3 years.

Despite the fact that tomatoes ripen faster in a greenhouse and produce a richer harvest, in open ground the taste is richer, and more vitamins and antioxidants accumulate in the fruits.

Humus or granulated fertilizers with superphosphate are placed in the holes, covered with soil and watered. The next watering can be done only after a week, when the plants have taken root.

Ripening period

Tomatoes “Ivan da Marya” have an early ripening period, so the first fruits can be harvested in early June.

Watering

After tomato seedlings are watered during transplantation, the next watering is done 7 days later. Then the bushes are watered as the soil dries out. Her condition will depend on the weather.

Water for irrigation should not be too cold. They pour it right to the root, being careful not to get it on the leaves.

After watering, the top layer of soil must be loosened so that the resulting crust does not interfere with the access of oxygen and pests do not accumulate under it.

What and when to feed

The first time fertilizer is applied to the bushes two weeks after they move into the ground. During this period, they need nitrogen or organic fertilizers.

During the formation of ovaries, tomatoes are fed with mineral fertilizers. 2 weeks before harvesting the first fruits, feeding should be stopped.

Should I dive?

Picking the variety “Ivan da Marya” is necessary in order to obtain strong shoots.

After transplanting to a permanent place, regular pinching and pinching of the top part of the bush is mandatory. The bush is formed in two trunks.

Pest Control

The variety has excellent immunity. Its early ripening period saves it from late blight. But, in any case, compliance with the basics of prevention will be required: watering regime, free planting, ventilation of the greenhouse.

To prevent pests, tomatoes are sprayed with insecticides.

Features of agricultural technology

Since the hybrid is considered early, you should start preparing the seeds in February. For cooler regions, sowing in late winter - early spring is possible. The seedlings develop quickly, sprouts appear within a couple of weeks. Picking is necessary for the appearance of 2 true leaves.

You can plant peppers in the garden with other varieties - in May. It is necessary to monitor the condition of the seedlings - it is important to carry out pinching in time and not to forget about the support - an example is shown in the photo. If the bush falls, the harvest will not be as abundant and of high quality.

It is recommended to place the beds on the sunny side; peppers need good lighting.

Advice. It is advisable to plant it in 1 stem; side shoots lead to a decrease in yield.

Despite the genetic resistance of pepper to most viruses dangerous to this crop, periodic inspection of the beds and preventive treatments are not necessary. It is better to choose natural formulations to protect the organic composition of the fruit.

Watering and loosening are carried out in a standard mode as needed.
