Growing tomatoes Monomakh hat

How to grow Monomakh's Hat tomatoes depends on climatic conditions. In areas of the European part of the country, the plant can be planted in open ground, while the northern part of Russia is obliged to grow a tomato in a greenhouse. The tomato is unpretentious in terms of care. It grows calmly and without moisture.

This variety is grown in the same way as the rest of the tomatoes, but there are a number of individual requirements:

  1. When choosing a place for planting a plant, you need to take into account the peculiarity of the soil. Namely, take into account the acidity. Since the plant does not tolerate acids in the soil, if this condition is not met, you can be left without a crop;
  2. It is possible to plant tomatoes of this variety in a permanent place only by seedlings. Seeds are germinated and sown on seedlings two months before the tomatoes are planted in the ground;
  3. In order for the fruits to form correctly and grow of the desired size, the bushes must be pruned in time. Moreover, no more than three ovaries should remain on each branch. It depends on this what size the tomatoes will be, and what kind of crop can be harvested from one bush;
  4. Watering the plant is also important. If the bushes receive a large amount of moisture, then the fruits begin to crack;
  5. When growing tomatoes in a greenhouse, you need to remember that the plant needs to be healed. For this, potassium nitrate is used. But fertilizer should be applied not earlier than before the fruit ripens. Moreover, the very first of them should already weigh at least one hundred grams.

Interesting fact. The first flower that appears on the plant is covered in fluff. In order for the bush to grow and develop well, it is immediately removed.

If this condition is met, then it is possible to avoid disease of the plant with apical rot. In addition, if you do not remove the first flower brush, then the plant will give all its strength to ensure that fruits are formed, which will worsen the size of the tomatoes and their taste.

Seedlings of this variety are planted in open ground only when flowers appear. Thus, in order to get the desired harvest, all of the above rules must be followed.

Plant care

When planting seedlings in open ground, it is recommended to plant two stems at the same time. Thus, you can get a high yield of fruits.

It should be remembered that the plant bush grows and develops very quickly. Therefore, when it reaches a height of one meter, its top must be pinched. If this is not done, then it will continue to grow, in this case, the fruits that will form higher will not have time to ripen.

Pinching

If the summer turned out to be dry, then watering should be done directly under the root of the plant. Thanks to this, the moisture will seep as deeply as possible and thereby nourish the root system. If the amount of precipitation is sufficient, then there is no need to water the tomatoes.

During heavy rains in the fall, it is best to harvest the not yet fully ripe fruits. Moreover, they will not lose their taste. Otherwise, with abundant accumulation of moisture, the fruits will crack and lose their color and presentation.

If the fruits start to crack at the time of ripening, then this is a big problem. To prevent such a phenomenon, you need to moderate watering, as well as fertilize on time.

Interesting. Weeds from tomato bushes need to be cut with a flat cutter, while leaving their roots in the ground. After a while, they will rot and become fertilizer for the plant.

It is also practiced to pour earthworms at the plant's root system. Top them up with rotten grass. Thanks to this, the beds themselves will be filled with fertile soil.

Diseases and pests

The only disease that the tomato Monomakh hat is exposed to is cracking of the fruit, in order to avoid this defect, you just need to adhere to the watering rules.

Pests are still worth fearing. The most dangerous are:

  • wireworm;
  • click beetle.

To get rid of the wireworm, you need to make a bait. To do this, cut the tomatoes into small slices and put them on a knitting needle made of wood. After that, they bury it to a depth of at least ten centimeters, leaving part of the knitting needle on the surface. After four days, it is dug up and burned along with the wireworm. For those who do not want to bother with baits, the drug "Baduzin" is suitable.
