Agrotechnics

Palace tomato: characteristics and description of the variety

Krasnobai tomatoes are planted in seedlings. The growing process consists of several stages:

  • Sowing seedlings;
  • Transplanting;
  • Caring for tomato bushes;
  • Processing by special means.

Sowing seedlings

The first thing to do at this stage is to prepare the ground. For germinating seedlings, soil:

  • You can prepare yourself. To do this, you can mix good garden soil with humus. Or prepare a mixture of peat with a little sand and earth;
  • Purchase ready-made peat soil or tablets from specialized stores.

For disinfection, the prepared soil can be dried in the oven for several minutes and treated with a solution of potassium permanganate. It is desirable to place the soil in wooden boxes, tamp well, water abundantly.

The next step is to plant seeds. If the seeds, treated with a special coating, they are protected and have good nutrition (the coating is made up of substances that contribute to the effective germination of the seeds), they can be planted immediately. Untreated seeds can be soaked in warm water before planting - the germination process will accelerate.

Tomato seeds need to be washed

Several rows are made on the surface of the soil, up to one and a half centimeters deep, and several centimeters between the grooves. Seeds are sown.

Top covered with a small ball of light soil. For a greenhouse effect and rapid germination of seedlings, film or glass is used.The container should be placed in a dark room and ensure that the air temperature is optimal (about 21 degrees).

After a few days, the seeds germinate. When the first leaves appear, it’s time to start diving seedlings - transplanting seedlings into small separate containers.

Optimal conditions for the correct development of seedlings:

  • Heat. The Krasnobai tomato is a thermophilic plant. For good healthy growth, the air temperature must be at least 15 degrees;
  • Timely watering. Moistening is carried out by spraying with slightly warm water, which it is desirable to let settle;

Important! It must be borne in mind that excessive moisture contributes to the development of many tomato diseases.

  • Good lighting. Plants need constant light. But it is better to avoid direct sunlight;
  • Regular airing. Seedlings need fresh air and do not tolerate drafts.

Transplanting

A few days before planting seedlings in open ground, you need to harden them - take the plants out into the street. The time spent in the fresh air increases each time. When more than 5 leaves appear, and the bush reaches 30 cm in height, it is time to transplant the tomatoes to the garden. During this period, the seedlings become strong enough and take root well in a new place.

Attention! Remember that tomatoes should not be planted in one place. You need to take a break for 2 or 3 seasons. In addition, it is better to grow tomatoes after cucumbers, cabbage, beets, carrots. Avoid areas where potatoes and eggplants were grown.

The bed is divided into conditional quadrangles (40 * 60), and a depression is made in each corner. A small amount of warm water is poured into the hole. Seedlings are planted along with the soil on the roots. The planted tomatoes are immediately tied up.

Caring for tomato bushes

At this stage, the bushes are watered no more than once a week. Better to use drip irrigation or pour water gently under the root. It is better not to use the sprinkling method - the fruits may crack, the stems and leaves may turn black.

The soil should be loosened regularly - this allows the tomato to develop well, to absorb nutrients.

Loosening the soil

Over time, pinching is necessarily carried out - the side branches of the bush are torn off, only one main stem is left, which is regularly tied up. Also, if necessary, the bushes are probed - too thick brushes are removed.

Processing tomatoes with special products

Tomatoes of the Krasnobay variety require additional feeding in the form of phosphorus-potassium fertilizer (2-3 times per season) and boric acid (solution) during the flowering period.

The variety is resistant to many diseases. A certain risk is posed by: whitefly, moth, whitefly, miner. To eliminate these problems, special means are used: Lepocid, Miner (may differ, depending on the nature of the disease).
