Seed sowing If the seedling growing material is annealed, there is no need for irrigation.

Otherwise, seedling bags or seedling growing containers filled with seedling growing material must be thoroughly watered and then seed planted.

Sowing the seeds after soaking for 3-4 hours facilitates germination.

Seeds should be planted at an average depth of 1 cm.

It is useful to water it gently again following seed sowing.

Planting is usually about 7-8 weeks after seed sowing.

In other words, if the last frost hazard is on April 15, count backwards 7-8 weeks and you can start sowing seeds from the date you have obtained.

The optimum soil temperature for germination of seeds should be 12-15 degrees.

At these temperatures, the seeds germinate within 5-13 days.

The optimal time for the tomato seedlings to be stunned is when the cotyledon leaves have completed their full development and are parallel to the ground.

Healthy and fully developed seedlings should be surprised.

How to germinate Mixtures such as ( peat, perlite, vermiculite) or (peat, perlite, soil) or (burnt animal manure, sand, soil) are commonly used in seedling cultivation.

1: 1:1 ratio is used in the mixture of burnt animal manure, sand, soil.

2:1:1 ratio is used in peat, perlite, soil mixture.

Seedling planting is done when the danger of spring frost is completely removed and the soil and air temperature reaches 12-15 degrees.

Planting is usually about 7-8 weeks after seed sowing.

Planting should be done towards evening, seedlings should not be kept under the sun.

Seedlings are usually ready for planting when they are approximately 15-20 cm tall.

Life water has to be provided sufficiently in planting.

In tomato cultivation, the intervals between the rows and above vary depending on whether the variety is a pole or a ground variety.

It should be 60-80 cm between the rows in pole varieties, 50-60 cm above the rows, 140 cm between the rows in seat varieties, 40-50 cm above the rows.

So let's say you planted tomato seedlings by sitting on a line in a single row.

The distance between each seedling on this line should be 40-50 cm.

Then, if you are going to plant another row of tomatoes next to it, it should be 140 cm between this new line and the first line you planted.

However, if you are going to do active maintenance such as regular fertilization and drip irrigation, you can shorten these distances.

Care and other information Tomato likes moisture.

Upper leaves curl in lack of water.

In very humid, heavy soils, plants get sick.

Periods when soil moisture deficiency is most sensitive

germination, emergence, flowering and fruit formation periods.

Excess soil moisture accelerates vegetative development.

Irrigation should not be done unless necessary until the fruits are large, in the next cycle, irrigation should be done 2-3 times in rainy regions and 4-5 times in arid regions.

Tomato care The first anchor is made 2 weeks after the seedlings are planted.

i

2-3 weeks after the anchor II.

anchor is made.

In this circuit, when the plants are 30-35 cm tall,

the pole is sewn together with the anchor.

In pole tomatoes ( Seat types do not want pruning in this way.

) seat purchase pruning is performed.

Taking the shoots formed at the junction of the body and the main leaves is called taking a seat.

Tomatoes have high fertilizer cravings.

Tomatoes grown in soil supported by slow-availability compost animal manure, pelleted fertilizers and organic fertilizers yield abundant harvests.
