Planting and care rules
Despite the early maturity, it is necessary to sow the seeds of the Turbojet tomato 60-70 days before transplanting into open ground. The variety is also suitable for direct sowing of seeds on the beds, but this method is more suitable for the southern regions.
Growing seedlings
For planting seedlings, you can use independently harvested soil, purchased or a mixture of them.
Components for soil:
- Fertilizers. To enrich the soil, complex mineral fertilizers, ash and humus are introduced into it.
- Biologicals. In order to make the soil alive, one month before planting, beneficial bacteria are introduced, for example, "Bokashi" or other EM preparations.
- Baking powder. For loosening, river sand or vermiculite is used. Adding agroperlite to the soil will allow it to stay moist and airy for longer, without the formation of a crust on the surface.
- Disinfection. A few days before planting, the soil mixture is spilled with fungicides.
All introduced elements are thoroughly mixed. In order for them to interact, the soil is prepared several weeks before planting. To make the soil more uniform and to get rid of lumpiness, it is sieved through a coarse sieve.
Reusable planting containers are disinfected. Pour the soil, lightly press and watered.
To accelerate the germination of seeds, pre-sowing treatment is carried out:
- One-size specimens are selected without damage.
- They are treated with disinfectants.
- Soaked in growth accelerators.
- Germinate in a humid environment.
Procedures for preliminary preparation start the processes of seed growth, heal them, and increase fruit set in the future.
For planting in the prepared soil, grooves are outlined, no more than 1 cm deep at a distance of 4 cm from each other. The seeds are laid out on the soil with tweezers, carefully so as not to break off the sprouted part. A distance of 2-3 cm is observed between the seeds. From above, the crops are covered with a dry layer of soil and sprayed from a finely dispersed spray bottle. You cannot use a watering can at this stage, so as not to bury the seeds deeper into the soil.
The crops are covered with foil and placed in a warm place. The optimum temperature for germination, which must be maintained constantly, is + 23 ... + 25 ° С. Crops must be ventilated before pecking, so that excessive condensation does not form, spray when the top layer dries.
After the appearance of the first loops, the shelter is removed and the seedlings are immediately exposed to a bright place or under phytolamps. Seedlings are illuminated in the first 3-4 days around the clock. At this time, the temperature of the seedlings is also reduced to + 18 ° C. If you delay the opening of seedlings, in conditions of insufficient light and high humidity, it will stretch out and improper development will begin. A decrease in temperature and additional lighting start the process of development of the root system.
In the future, tomato seedlings Turbojet will need 14-hour lighting from 7 am to 9 pm. Plants need rest at night. On cloudy days, the seedlings are additionally illuminated throughout the day.
Watering is carried out regularly, but moderate, with complete soaking of the earthen coma. During this period, seedlings are watered only on the soil, without affecting the stems and leaves.
Tomato variety Turboactive dive when several true leaves appear. When transplanting, the roots of the plant try not to injure as much as possible. Roots cannot be cut and plucked.
Transplanting seedlings
It is necessary to transplant tomato seedlings of the Turbojet variety into open ground after warming up the soil. Depending on the region of cultivation, these are the months of May-June. Tomatoes are transferred to greenhouses, depending on the equipment, when the constant temperature in it does not drop below + 10 ° C at night.
Growing a tomato in a container has several advantages. The soil in the container warms up evenly, the growth and development processes are accelerated. But this way of growing requires more frequent watering. In the open field, dark containers are covered with light material so that the soil does not overheat.
When planted in a common ground, place 3-5 plants per 1 sq. m. Between the stems, a distance of 40 cm is observed, and between the rows - 50 cm. In joint planting with other tomatoes, the low stature of the crop is taken into account and the planting scheme is followed, in which all plants will receive sufficient lighting.
The day before planting, the earthen lump in which the seedlings grow is watered abundantly so that when removing from the container, less damage to the roots. The transplant holes are also watered until the soil has absorbed water. The tomato bush is rooted into an earthen gruel, and sprinkled with dry soil on top.The hole is covered with earth at the general level of the soil, the cotyledon leaves are not buried. In the open field, the transplanted plants are temporarily shaded.
Follow-up care
Abundant watering of the soil before planting is enough for several weeks, at which time the tomatoes are no longer watered. In the future, plants need abundant and regular watering. Water for irrigation is heated.
It is impossible to overfill the root system of a tomato, especially when grown in containers. In this case, she will experience a lack of oxygen, and be exposed to fungal infections.
Considering the intensive yield of fruits in a short period, the Turboactive variety responds well to feeding with a complex of mineral fertilizers.
