Some varieties of tomatoes and the fineness of their germination in the home.
Some (unusual) varieties of tomatoes and the fineness of their germination at home.
I constantly follow the articles of vegetable growers on growing seedlings of tomatoes and other vegetables and came to the conclusion: often a person spends a lot of work, and the result is the same - the root system lags behind in growth from the aboveground part. What is the reason?
Tomato seeds are usually sown in a deep bowl with a small amount of soil, adding it as the plants grow. Because of this, adventitious (stem) roots grow, which are of no practical importance for the aerial part of the plant, but they inhibit the growth of the main suction roots, that is, the development of the lobe.
The picking of the main stem root injures the plant, restrains its growth, since before picking it was fed through the main root. The lobe after the pinches will develop only after a week. But it is necessary that it should be as soon as possible.
Therefore, I sow seeds by 6-7 pcs. in a low dish (4-5 cm) - and the cups do cropped one and a half liter plastic bottles.
As soon as the second pair of leaves is developed, I transplant one by one into the cups from under the baby food.
By this time, the main root grows to the bottom of the jar and crawls along the bottom, it has already lost its strength. At this time, the lobe begins to grow, a natural pick is obtained. But it is not necessary to overexpose the plants - with the development of the second pair of true leaves, it does not stretch yet and has a stem 2-3 mm thick.
An hour before transplanting, I water the seedlings so that the ground is crumbly. I pour the earth into a glass and gradually fall asleep, slightly water it, and sprinkle a pinch of ash on top. It inhibits the development of various diseases and serves as good nutrition. I cook dishes like this. Having heated a knife on a gas burner, I cut the bottom of the cup, leaving the edges. From a Pepsi bottle I cut out a scissor a circle the size of the bottom of the glass, with a hot knife I make holes in it for water drainage and put it in the glass.
I also burn holes in its walls with a hot nail, through which air will flow to the roots. With these holes it is easy to determine the planting time. The roots appeared - it's time.
Why is the insert bottom convenient? With the thumb of your right hand, you press the bottom, and the plant, along with a lump of earth, freely rises out of the cup.
At me all utensils for house colors with apertures on each side. Advantages of such dishes are obvious: plants are not injured, which means that budding, flowering, growth of fruits is faster, it takes up little space, it is convenient to transport it.
Last season, having planted seedlings in this way, I did not notice a single tubercle, rudiment of roots on tomato stems. I sowed seeds in March, and planted seedlings with fruits in my garden (and it is located near the river) because of the long standing water in my garden. And yet the result was good.
Now I'll tell you about the varieties of tomatoes that I have been growing for many years and which are probably not familiar to many amateur gardeners.

Triple system of protection of tomatoes
Very often because of diseases, especially because of phytophthors, the yield of tomatoes on my site was small. Until. While the neighbor did not prompt useful sprayings.
Now I plant seedlings of tomatoes in May. And when he grows up, after about a month, I spend system treatment.
Spraying No. 1: with iodine. On 10 ml iodine 10 l of water. I raise iodine in water and sprinkle tomatoes.
Spraying No. 2: with greenery. I spend it in 10 days after the first. 10 ml zelenki diluted in 10 l of water and also spray tomatoes with green solution.
Spraying No. 3: with metronirosol. I spend it after 10 days after the second treatment. Dissolve 10 tablets in 10 l of water and sprinkle
Tomatoes So that all these solutions adhere well to plants, I add 50 g of grated soap to each. Really useful spraying - I was convinced of this from personal experience. But the main thing in this technique is system.

Always plant tomatoes seedlings, not seeds.
And purchase, so you can choose the best bushes. But you still have to choose how to choose.
In the factory where I worked, I had a partner - a short and solid build. And the man we turned out to be a tall and very thin man. A partner, also an avid gardener, answered my question about the choice of seedlings: “Take someone like me! But such as a master - no need. "
Since then, when buying seedlings, I choose "strong". The stem should not be very long and plump, the root system is well developed. Choose bushes with large, but not overly large leaves. A healthy plant is dark green in color, it is desirable that it already had flowers, but not ovary. The bush will dump peas of tomatoes anyway due to stress after planting in the ground.
Such seedlings will yield a good harvest.
