Seed sowing

Calculate the timing of seeding on seedlings should be based on the time when the plant is planned to plant. For example, if you plan to plant the seedlings of the first Maya, seed sowing is recommended in early March.

According to the description, tomatoes of the Zavolzhye Gifts must be sown in loose, nutritious soil, to a depth of about two centimeters. When sowing, maintain a distance of 3 cm.

After sowing, the soil is spilled with warm water. Tanks with crops are put on a bright place with a temperature of at least 23 degrees. A week later, the first shoots appear.

When two real leaves appear, the seedlings are dived into individual containers with a volume of about 300 ml. At the age of 60 days, tomatoes are planted in a permanent place.

If the seedlings are planted in the open ground, then the optimal time for sowing is the beginning of March. If the planting in the OG is expected in late May - early June, it should be planted in late March. The time can be shifted when growing tomatoes in greenhouses. For example, when planting seedlings in April, crops for seedlings are carried out in February.

Care of the plant

Tomato grows best when the air temperature is not lower than 22 degrees and the heated earth is not lower than 18. If the day and night temperatures drop lower at the time of transplantation, the plant will slow down its development and may completely stop growing.

At temperatures below 16 degrees, the plant begins to experience phosphorous starvation. If this element is not sufficiently supplied, it does not bear fruit well. Determine the lack of phosphorus can be on the violet color of the stem.

Add pellets of ammonium nitrate, superphosphate, potassium fertilizer to the planting pit and, after mixing with the soil, tomatoes are planted.

The second fertilizing is carried out during the period of fruit formation. At this point the plant needs various trace elements, vitamins. To make up for the shortage, it is recommended to feed the plant with a complex mineral fertilizer. If a lot of ovaries are formed on the bushes, then two weeks later, repeated fertilizing is carried out.

Gifts Zavolzhya can not be fertilized with fresh manure. It contains a large amount of nitrogen, which promotes the activation of plant growth. As a result, the tops will be large, and the fruit will be small (the plant will spend all its energy on the growth of greenery). With an overabundance of nitrogen, tomato can throw off brushes with fruits.
