Agrotechnics

Landing rules

The hybrid tomato is designed for greenhouse cultivation. Therefore, preparations for sowing begin already from the first days of March. In the northern regions, you can sow at the end of March, but this is the deadline.

Soaking the seeds before planting

Store-bought hybrid seeds do not need to be disinfected. The only optional procedure is soaking in a growth promoter.

The optimal soil option for Verlioki seeds is a special soil mixture. If desired, it can be diluted with garden soil in equal shares.

The bottom of the containers for seedlings must necessarily have drainage: the gravel with sand is laid out in a small layer, and the earth is poured on top.

The depth sufficient for planting seeds is about 1.5-2 cm. After sprinkling the crops, they are well moistened from a spray bottle.

Care rules

In order for the seeds to germinate together and quickly, you need to create a temperature regime for them within + 25 ° C. The emergence of seedlings signals the movement of containers to a sunnier place.

The hybrid should not need sunlight, but excessive exposure can ruin the seedlings.

Attention! For a guaranteed high yield, seeds of the Verliok hybrid must be purchased annually. Self-harvesting is useless, since the tomato does not retain varietal characteristics.

Seedlings are grown under 12 hour light. The lack of light is made up for with fluorescent lamps. The first feeding is done after the pick. Seedlings dive when they finish forming the third permanent leaf.

The first time you need to pinch seedlings when they grow by 7 cm.

Fertilizers and watering

Verlioki saplings are fed with organic fertilizers, ash, potassium, phosphorus. Ash can be scattered around the seedlings, or infused in water and watered.

Only warm, settled water is suitable for irrigation. Watering the plant, you need to be guided by the state of the foliage of the seedlings:

  • With an excess of moisture, the seedlings turn pale, greatly accelerating growth. In this state, the tomato loses its immunity to pests and diseases;
  • If the leaves wither, then the plant is sorely lacking moisture.

Watering seedlings

Transplanting a Verliok hybrid

The greenhouse must be prepared in advance. Fertilized soil is laid in it, rather loose and fertile. In early May, they dig up the ground in the greenhouse, bring in rotted manure, ash, peat, sawdust.

For Verlioka, the normal acidity level should be 6-6.7 pH. If the acidity level is higher, then lime is added to the ground.

By the end of May, they begin to transplant seedlings. The nature of the placement of tomatoes suggests a distance of about 40 cm between them. It is not recommended to thicken the seedlings, since the hybrid is difficult to tolerate the lack of free space. The Verlioka tomato expresses its protest against the lack of nutrients and space by a sharp decline in yield.

Transplanting tomatoes into a greenhouse

Water the seedlings systematically, after 4-5 days. The tomato hybrid does not react well to heat, therefore, airing is often carried out, but the greenhouse is not cooled.

Important! Excessive watering of the hybrid will cause the active appearance of stepchildren.

Many summer residents advise keeping greenhouses open throughout the summer season and only closing them at night. The best option for forming a Verlioki bush is 2 stems.

Hybrid care

In order for the hybrid to have a good enough harvest, the bushes need to be pinned and tied up. These procedures have some rules:

  • After the formation of 3 brushes, pinching of the seedlings is done;
  • 2 inflorescences are left on each stem;
  • There must be 2 leaves near each inflorescence;
  • The plant should be tied up so that it does not break from the weight of the tomatoes.

Important! Nitrogen-containing fertilizers are applied only before the appearance of peduncles.

Further care for the hybrid does not differ in anything remarkable and includes weeding, loosening, mulching.

Disease prevention

During selection, the Verlioka hybrid was endowed with good resistance to the main diseases that affect Solanaceae:

  • Fusarium wilting;
  • Cladosporium disease;
  • Late blight;
  • Tobacco mosaic.

Resilience does not mean lack of proper tomato care. On the contrary, stability will be preserved with proper care:

  • Removing weeds outside the greenhouse;

  • Prevent leaching of soil during watering;
  • Removal of stepchildren and yellowed leaves.

Advantages and disadvantages of a hybrid
