Agrotechnics
Tomato Yamal differs unpretentiousness andthe ability to tie fruit even in periods of temporary cold snap, which makes it possible to grow it in open beds in temperate latitudes, and in warmer areas to plant seeds, bypassing the seedling stage. But we are talking about the seedling method, which excludes the risks of crop loss.
Tomato is planted in separate seedlingsA plastic container, previously disinfected and having drainage holes. As a substrate, you can use the ready soil or prepare your own, mixing in equal parts humus and vermiculite or river sand.
Seeds should be heated before sowing. This will make it possible to protect them as much as possible from the occurrence of various diseases and to get fast friendly shoots. Warm them up, maintaining a battery of central heating for 2-3 days. Then, for half an hour, soaked in a solution of manganese dark cherry. Subsequently, after rinsing in running water and slightly drying, they are sown in a moistened, but not lost flowability substrate. Seed containers are covered with glass or a film and placed in the light, trying to keep the room at a temperature of at least 23 ° C.
Tempering and temperature conditions
When sprouting seedlings, the covering material is removedwith the tanks, it is better to do this gradually for several hours. This minimizes stress in small plants. The first watering is a moderate spraying with a finely sprayed jet. It is necessary to quench seedlings at once, lowering the night temperatures to 10-12 ° C, and keeping the daytime at 12-17 ° C. Such a regime is observed before transplanting already adult seedlings on the ridges.
Piquing works
As soon as the seedlings appear second-thirdreal sheets, you should distribute each seedling in separate containers, because it's time for a pick. This process also begins with the preparation of containers, their disinfection and verification of the presence of drainage holes.
Tomat Yamal: description of soil preparation
To cultivate tomatoes choose the southernside sites. The best predecessors of tomatoes are cabbage, zucchini, cucumber, onions. It is not recommended to plant tomatoes on beds where potatoes, eggplants or peppers were grown earlier. But in the same place tomatoes can produce good harvests for several years. It is only necessary to properly fertilize the soil in this area with high-quality organic, as tomatoes draw nutrients out of the soil, substantially impoverishing it.
The ground is planted for tomatoes from autumn: reduce the increased acidity (if present), introducing 500-800 g of lime, 6-8 kg of humus, 50 g of superphosphate per one square meter during the autumn digging. In the spring, before planting tomatoes, once again dig through the soil, adding 20 g of potassium and 40 g of nitrogen fertilizers per 1 square. m.
Tomato Yamal: growing and grooming
Plant the variety in late May - early June, afterhow the recurrent spring frosts will recede. In warm areas, gardeners practice planting tomatoes on May 10-12. Tomato Yamal, a photo of which plantations are presented, takes root very well.
On the prepared site, dig holes,Measuring their depth with the length of the seedling. It is buried below the level at which it was in seedlings. Usually, the seedlings of this variety are not stretched, but if this happens, it is laid in the hole at an angle so that the rooting is faster due to the formation of lateral roots. The wells with the seedlings laid in them are generously shed by warm water (5 liters / 1 bush), covered with earth, not forgetting to compact and subsequently become cloudy. Improved qualities of the variety allow it to quickly survive the planting, take root and develop at an enviable rate. For many gardeners, tomato Yamal, whose care reviews confirm the qualities indicated by the seed producers, greatly facilitated the cultivation of such crops, making it possible not to plant or tie a bush, limiting the necessary care for it with timely watering and top dressing.
