Tomato Slot: characteristics and description of the variety

Bugai tomatoes are a mid-season variety. Seed planting begins in late March - early April. Before placing the seedlings in a permanent place, at least 60-70 days must pass. For planting, a neutral but well-drained soil is suitable.

Important! It is not recommended to plant more than 2-3 plants on one square meter.

The bush is formed into one or two stems. After 25-30 days after planting, remove excess leaves at the bottom of the bush. This should be done gradually and do not pick off the leaves located above the third inflorescence.

In order for the tomato harvest to be good, it is required to maintain a constant temperature within the range of 23-26 ° C. Therefore, a greenhouse is better suited for growing. In addition, plants need frequent watering and feeding, tying up the stems and regular access of fresh air.

Note! At the first stage of growth, tomatoes are fed with fertilizers containing potassium. As the fruits are formed, nitrogen and phosphorus are added to potassium in equal proportions.

At the last stage of maturation, the proportions of additives are changed, reducing the amount of nitrogen and phosphorus by half, but increasing the amount of potassium.
