Khlynovsky tomatoes: description of agricultural technology
You need to sow seeds for seedlings 50-60 days before the planned planting in the soil, in March. To do this, you just need to plant them in disposable plastic cups with a volume of 200 ml, and when they take root, transplant them into cups with a volume of 500 g.
Seedlings even at home will be strong, but as it grows, water from the ground will evaporate at a very fast rate. Over time, it is necessary to increase the number of waterings.
The best place to grow this plant in your home would be a large window sill. Tomatoes should be transferred from windowsill to windowsill during the day, following the sunlight.You can keep the box in one place, but illuminate with a lamp in the evening. Tomato seedlings are very responsive to such care.
Seedling
You can plant it when the soil warms up to 14-17 ° and the threat of frost is left behind. A week before planting, the seedlings begin to harden. You need to take them outside every day to get used to temperature changes. Start with 5 minutes, bring to a couple of hours.
If the plant blooms before being placed in a permanent location, the inflorescence must be removed.
For planting, both a greenhouse and an open bed are suitable. If a film cover is used, the seedlings can be planted as early as May, but it is not necessary to remove the shelter until mid-June.
Usually the plant forms into one or two stems. The trunk must be tied to a support, the branches must be supported so that they do not break under the weight of the fruit.
One of the most important conditions for obtaining a high-quality harvest is regular watering, on average 3 times a week, depending on the weather. When the culture gets stronger, the number and volume of irrigation should be reduced.
Watering
Water the plant carefully, at the root. Water should not come into contact with the stem or leaves. When the bushes grow, watering them twice a week is enough.
The strongest lateral shoot (stepson) is formed under the first brush. It is formed into a second stem, which houses 3 brushes. There should be 4 inflorescences on the main stem.
From the brushes, it is necessary to remove the ovaries that were damaged during the growth process. On the first two inflorescences, 3-4 set tomatoes should be left for ripening. On the rest - up to 6.
To increase the rate of ripening of tomatoes, it is necessary to remove the side shoots. You also need to remove the leaves themselves. First, those that touch the ground are removed so as not to infect the plant with late blight.
Fertilizer
Khlynovsky tomatoes are very responsive to natural fertilizers (chicken droppings, manure, peat).
Yield indicators depend on the region in which Khlynovskie tomatoes grow. In the south, you can achieve high yields by planting tomatoes in open soil; in the north, you cannot do without greenhouses. Gardeners living in the middle lane should use a film cover.
