Agricultural cultivation tomato
Planting seeds

Pre-treatment of seeds with growth biostimulants is recommended. Seeds are sown to a depth of 0.5-1 cm in boxes with ready peat mixture.
The ideal soil composition for growing seedlings can be obtained by adding vermiculite to it, it will make the soil loose. To obtain friendly shoots provide the necessary conditions with the air temperature in the room +24 degrees, humidity 80%. Watering with warm water is carried out with caution, not often.
Dive seedlings in the stage of 2-3 true leaves in separate containers. When carrying out picks, the main root is pinched. Next, monitor the temperature, humidity, proper lighting.Conduct the necessary feeding.

Visually, the readiness of the seedlings for planting in the ground is determined by the presence of 9-10 sheets with the first flower brush and stem of sufficient thickness.
Care rules

When grown in greenhouses resort to additional measures to attract insects and the use of the method of vibration by shaking the branches of a bush or trellis.Reception of vibration is carried out 2-3 times a week in the morning after collecting fruits.
