How to grow

Sprouts are planted only after the soil has warmed up. Seeds are sown two months before the planned transplant. February-March are the optimal months for planting seeds.

Seed preparation

Seed preparation will speed up and increase germination and prevent various infections.

Preparation of planting material:

1. They look through all the seeds and select material capable of germinating. Blackened and damaged ones are removed, and the seeds are left in their correct, even shape. An easier way is to add salt to the water and soak the planting material in it for 30 minutes. Spoiled seeds will float to the surface and are removed.
2. To prevent diseases the seeds are treated with a disinfectant solution. Use hydrogen peroxide or potassium permanganate. The seeds are soaked in the chosen product for two hours, and then thoroughly washed with water.
3. For early germination soak for 12 hours in a growth stimulator. The drug is purchased in stores; aloe juice is used as a home remedy.

Container and soil

Sift the seeds into one large container, trays and boxes are used for this. When growing several bushes, the seeds are sown immediately in a pot. Peat pots and tablets are suitable for this. When the plant has grown, it is picked and transplanted into a separate container of at least 300 g in size.

Choose light soils. The stores have a large selection of soil for planting tomatoes. Let's prepare the soil at home; for this we take peat, turf and humus in equal proportions. The soil is light and nutritious. Not only the seeds are disinfected, but also the soil and container. The earth is calcined in the oven and watered with a solution of potassium permanganate. Containers are sterilized in the oven or kept in a solution of potassium permanganate.

Sowing

Make small grooves at a distance of 3 cm from each other, the depth of which does not exceed 2 cm. Seeds are poured at intervals of 2 cm. Sprinkle soil on top.

No heavy watering required, sufficient moisturizing from a spray bottle. Cover with film or a transparent lid. Place in a warm place. Seeds are planted in other ways. Below is one of the most interesting and unusual methods.

Growing seedlings without soil

We will need a plastic food tray. Line the bottom of the container with soft paper. Cover the top with several layers of paper. The paper is covered with a film in which several holes are made. Moisturize as it dries, using a spray bottle for this.

With this method of planting, plants are planted in containers. with the ground immediately after the appearance of cotyledon leaves. If this does not happen, they turn yellow and die due to lack of nutrients.

Growing and care

With proper care of seedlings the plants will easily tolerate replanting to a permanent location.

How to do it correctly:

1. As soon as two or three true leaves appear, we immediately dive into separate containers.
2. Carefully remove plants from the ground without damaging the central root.
3. Carefully place the plant in its new location.

Moisten the soil only when it dries. Water with settled water at room temperature without touching the plant itself.

During the period of growing seedlings, fertilize the soil at least three times. Fertilizers must contain a balanced complex of useful substances. Ten days after transplantation, fertilize for the first time for the last time - three days before transplanting into the ground. A second feeding is carried out between them.

Before transplanting into the ground, the plant is hardened off. It is produced if the average air temperature is above +8°C. The seedlings are taken out into the fresh air for 30 minutes, and the time spent outside is gradually increased over the next few minutes.

How to grow tomatoes

Plants are watered and fed abundantly three days before planting., since after transplantation the soil is not moistened for two weeks.

Beds for transplanting seedlings are prepared in the fall. They clear away plant residues and dig up the soil. The soil is fertilized with ash and humus. In the spring, the soil is dug up again. Disinfect the soil by pouring a solution of potassium permanganate or copper sulfate.

Dig holes, maintaining a distance of 50-60 cm between them.. The distance between the rows is 60–70 cm. The seats are placed in a checkerboard pattern, this saves space. Before planting, the seedlings are carefully removed from the pots along with a lump of earth and placed in the holes, forming roots towards the center. The holes with plants are filled with water at room temperature. When the water is absorbed, cover it with soil.

Plant care

There are no difficulties in caring for the Krasnobay f1 tomato. You just need to water regularly, loosen the soil and periodically fertilize the soil. Foliar fertilizing of the soil is important.

Important: The hybrid is intended for cultivation in greenhouses - in open ground conditions the fruits will not have time to ripen.

Stepchildren develop poorly, so the plant does not waste nutrients on excess greens. It is still necessary to remove “empty” shoots in order to form one stem - a standard.

Features of cultivation and possible difficulties

When growing Krasnobay tomatoes, a novice gardener faces a number of difficulties:

1. The bush grows too tall, requires gartering and pinching.
2. When the soil is poor few ovaries are formed - increase the amount of fertilizing.
3. The formation of an excess amount of greenery on the plant indicates oversaturation of the soil, as a result the fruits become smaller and ripen slowly.
4. The fruits grow small. By reducing the number of flowers, you will increase the weight of the fruit.
5. Crackling and watery fruit - this means too much foliage has been removed and all the water has gone into the tomatoes.

Harvesting and application

Harvest the fruits when they turn bright red, in the middle zone this happens at the end of July. Tomatoes picked with stems last longer.

If long-term transportation is planned, slightly unripe fruits are collected and sorted according to ripeness. For fresh salads, juices and purees, use the most poured tomatoes. If the tomato is still ripe, it is sent for artificial ripening. Select dry ones, with intact skin, without damage. For storage, place the spout down.

To reduce the risk of mechanical damage, do not put more than two layers of vegetables in one container. Ripe fruits can last out of the refrigerator for up to four days at room temperature. In more optimal conditions they can be stored for up to several months.

The fruits are suitable for fresh consumptionand for canning.

Prevention of diseases and pests

Tomato Krasnobay f1 is resistant to major fungal and viral diseases: fusarium, cladosporiosis, tobacco mosaic virus. But without preventive measures, the risk of infection, in particular late blight, remains.

The seeds and the soil in which they are planted are treated disinfecting solutions.

Plants are sprayed with phytosporin or other non-toxic biological product with an antifungal effect.

Important: To prevent pests and their larvae, regularly inspect plants for damage.

INviral diseases are most dangerous for tomatoes and cannot be treated. The affected bushes are removed, and the place where the tomatoes are planted is changed.

If the humidity is high, fungal diseases develop on tomatoes. and dark spots appear that appear on the stems, tops and fruits. Such plants are also removed and burned.
