Agrotechnics

Before sowing the selected seeds for seedlings, carefully prepare the container and soil mixture. The selected variety develops well in a substrate intended for growing ordinary indoor flowers. At the same time, it is important to choose the right seed material; it is better to buy it from a trusted local manufacturer.
Before planting, the selected seeds are soaked in potassium permanganate for a day. Such manipulations remove all the infection hidden inside the seeds. After the seeds are sown in prepared containers, small holes are made there, 2 cm deep. Selected seeds are sprinkled with earth on top, watered abundantly, covered with plastic wrap. In this form, the variety is until germination.
Care of young sprouts
After the appearance of two strong leaves at the sprouts, a pick is carried out for them. For this purpose, each root is placed in a separate pot. This is done so that young shoots gain strength and develop powerful roots.
Picking tomatoes
Picked seedlings are placed in a place where there is enough light for development. If daylight hours are not enough for optimal development, then additional lighting is performed with special lamps. To prevent immature sprouts from acquiring a purple hue, the room temperature should be above 15 degrees. As the soil coma dries out, it is worthwhile to irrigate the sprouts. It is important to remember that abundant irrigation can provoke root rot, the lack of life-giving moisture forms yellow leaves.
Planting ready-made seedlings
In order for the tomato bush to develop comfortably, it is necessary to choose the right place. The site should be sufficiently lit, the soil composition should be fertile. The plot for planting tomatoes must be prepared right from the fall. Prepare holes for planting tomatoes, observing a distance between the bushes of 50 cm. Containers with seedlings are poured abundantly with water, the sprouts are carefully removed so as not to damage the earthen ball.
Care
The unassuming Belarossa tomato needs quality care. In order for it to grow normally, it is watered correctly, there is enough moisture once a week, and in especially dry periods - 2 times a week. Do not pour water too often, this is fraught with rotting of the roots of the sensitive tomato.

Since the bush is large enough in height, it needs to be tied to a support. Particular attention is paid to pinching the bushes, it is necessary to remove the stepsons when they reach 5 cm in height. The wounds heal quickly, reducing the risk of infection with dangerous gray rot. The bushes are formed in dry weather to avoid damage by destructive fungal spores. A week before the start of formation, the perennial is not watered, no top dressing is applied.

Spraying is carried out in dry, calm weather. All fungicidal formulations have a toxic odor, so it is important to take precautions.
The appearance of brown spots may indicate the development of late blight; here again, spraying with a fungicide cannot be avoided. Among them, the most effective are "Oksikh", "Ordan".
