The use of growth promoters will also benefit the future harvest. It is recommended to use "Zircon", "Oberg" or "Ecosil".

It is necessary to calculate the optimal time for planting seed. In order for the seedlings to reach the level of development they need for transplanting, it will take 50 days, then it can be transplanted.

Planting material is dried and seeded in containers that are filled with earth. Seeds should be covered with soil no more than one centimeter. Before planting, the ground must be moistened and loosened.

Picking will be the next stage in the germination of tomatoes.His conduct is required. The function of the dive is to stimulate the root system of plants. In order to begin the procedure, a tomato should have two leaves. The seedling needs to be transplanted in separate cups and deepened to the foliage. It is also recommended to fertilize the soil with minerals. Ten days later, urea, superphosphate or sodium phosphate can be added to the growing tomatoes.

After about 1, 5 months the seedlings will be ready for transplantation. This will be noticeable in a plant that has six or seven leaves, as well as well-developed roots. Young growth will be considered hardened if every day it is briefly brought to fresh air.. An important point before planting is the selection of the best individuals, which have the strongest root system and strong escape. A tomato with a height of about 30 centimeters is considered ready for planting.

Seedlings are planted in open ground or a greenhouse in the amount of 9 plants per square meter. This work is best done in the evening or in cloudy weather. Do not forget about the warming of the earth to the depth of the root system, its temperature should not be below 15 degrees. At lower temperatures, the plant may not settle down.

The process of planting seedlings in the greenhouse can begin from the first of May, under the film - from 20, but in the open ground - approximately from 10 June. The main thing is that there is no return of frost. The best place to grow tomatoes is where cabbage, cucumber, carrots and onions used to grow.

Proper soil preparation is as follows:

  1. Sanding. It should be carried out in the autumn. If the ground is heavy and wet, then a bucket of sand per square meter of territory will suffice.
  2. Liming. Reduces soil acidity. During the digging of the soil in the soil is lime powder in the amount of 800 g per square meter.
  3. Disinfection. In spring, the soil can be treated with a hot solution of copper sulphate with the calculation of a liter per square meter.
  4. Introduction organic and mineral fertilizer.

Immediately before planting the seedlings it is necessary to form the beds. Their optimum size is 1-1.2 meters in width and 0.2 meters in length. The wells are made at a distance of 0, 4 meters in a row, and between rows - about 0.55 meters. After preparing the beds, you can start working with seedlings. If the plant grew in a paper cup or peat tablet, then it can not be removed. Provided that any other container was used, the tomato is carefully removed from it using a spatula.

The seedling is located in the hole in an upright position and filled with fertile soil to this leaf. Next, the earth is pressed and watered.

To grow tomato "Sanka" in a greenhouse, you need to take into account some features, such as the quality of the soil. It is necessary to mix two parts of the land from the garden, one part of peat, the same share of sawdust and humus. The procedure of planting plants in the soil is identical with the previous version.

This variety is created for growing in the central black earth regions, which does not mean that it can not be grown in another locality. Tasty tomatoes can be collected in any region of the country. But if it is northern, the plant will need shelter in case of cold.

Care rules

Tomato is a culture that can be found in almost every garden. For a bountiful harvest, caring for a grade is worthwhile correctly and regularly. Start caring for a plant is necessary when it is in a state of seedling. Young shoots should be provided with enough light, moisture and regularly hardened.

Despite the fact that “Sanka” is an unpretentious variety of tomatoes, it must be constantly fertilized and watered, to form a bush and remove the yellow leaves that have appeared.

If you water the tomatoes properly and in a timely manner, they will grow well.When growing a plant in a greenhouse, fruit cracking is often noticed. The formation of furrows occurs on them, which dry up over time, which causes a blow to the crop. The reason for this condition is a violation of watering during growth.

To carry out watering the culture preferably once every 3-4 days. At the same time, water should be poured into the well, so that the liquid gets to the right place and it does not spread over the ground. Seedlings should be planted in moist soil. After the bush is placed in the ground, it is watered again. Re-irrigation can be done after seven days. During this period, the roots will become adapted to the new habitat and begin a normal and full-fledged process of life activity.

Watering can be of these types:

  • mechanical;
  • sprinkler;
  • drip;
  • subsoil.

If there are a lot of plants, then watering them will take a lot of time, so mechanical irrigation here will be most appropriate. At the cottages are often used hoses that connect to the water supply. If the water pressure is too high, it can damage the wells and they will have to be restored. Therefore it is necessary to ensure that the pressure was optimal. It is also undesirable that water gets on the leaves.

Automatic irrigation systems can be installed both in the open field and in the greenhouse. At home, you can build a drip irrigation with your own hands, which will ensure uniform moisture penetration to the roots of Sanka.

In order to build a subsurface irrigation system, it will take more knowledge and effort. It consists of a system of pipes placed inside the soil. It is necessary to carry out such irrigation along the distribution rows so that the liquid flows strictly under the roots.

The most advanced type of irrigation includes rain irrigation system, which is often applicable in greenhouses. This irrigation process consists in placing pipes with nozzles at a certain height. Such equipment contributes to the uniform distribution of moisture and prevent its oversupply.

When watering, be sure to follow the schedule to prevent over-wetting of the soil and the spread of some fungal diseases of plants.

The procedure of caring for tomato "Sanka" includes the timely application of fertilizers in the soil or in each well. If the plant is fed incorrectly, then it can cause irreparable harm.

For the first time the soil is fertilized before planting tomatoes. Due to this, it is enriched with organic substances, minerals and useful elements that will contribute to good yields. The next fertilization should be carried out after the seedlings have taken root and began to grow in the ground. The third time, after the fruit begins to be tied.

Ammonia and calcium nitrate are well suited as fertilizer in the amount of 0.5 kg per hundred. She poured into each well, and then filled with water. When the two media come into contact, the chemical element will quickly sink deep into the earth. Chemicals can be used not only in powder form, but also in liquid form. They are usually diluted with water, and then poured under the wells.

During the cultivation of tomato "Sanka" you should not overdo it with the amount of fertilizer. If the soil is sufficiently fed, the first dressing is optional.

To carry out prevention against fusarium and late blight, it is necessary to water the soil with diluted potassium permanganate once every 10 days. From the whitefly, caterpillar-moth and other pests should treat the plant with insecticides.

As a means of prevention, agronomists often use a change in the top soil layer. The rest of the earth is carefully digged. Tomato "Senka" can suffer from such pests:

  1. Aphid. To combat it, it is necessary to water the plants under high pressure. It is necessary to carry out this procedure every day. So the pest will gradually be washed away until it completely disappears. It is also recommended to break the foliage with the accumulation of aphids or the use of chemicals.
  2. Caterpillars They can attack plants in greenhouse conditions. The method of disposal of them is considered to be a regular collection of weeds, as well as scalding of the soil with boiling water just before planting.
  3. Colorado beetle. If tomato bushes are attacked by this pest, then the same means as for the protection of potatoes can be used.

Useful tips

For a good harvest you need strong and healthy seedlings. Here are some tips to help young plants get better:

  • do not ignore seed treatment with potassium permanganate, as this process will reduce the possibility of infection of seedlings with fungi;
  • be sure to do a pick of a seedling;
  • thanks to artificial lighting, seedlings are not drawn out;
  • night temperature in the room where cultivation is carried out, should be lower than during the daytime;
