Agricultural technology of tomatoes in open ground

All gardeners are aware that some types of vegetables can be grown either in open ground or in greenhouses. Everyone chooses the most suitable option for themselves.

Agricultural technology of tomatoes in open ground is not much different from the usual care of other plants that also grow in the open air. So, what activities does caring for tomatoes include?

1. Loosening the soil must be done to depth, and not along the surface.

2. Mulching is carried out using humus, peat or sawdust, i.e. covering the surface of the ground in which tomatoes grow. This measure prevents overheating of the soil and rapid evaporation of moisture, and reduces the germination of weeds.

3. Hilling. It would seem that this is practically the same as loosening, but no. When hilling, the loosened soil falls to the bottom of the tomato stems, which stimulates the growth of adventitious roots.

4. Weeding of tomatoes should be carried out especially carefully: all weeds are removed from the roots.

5. Feeding the plantings with fertilizers.

6. Watering.

7. Prevention is the best remedy when growing tomatoes. Do not allow plants to become overgrown with pests, diseases or weeds. It is better to prevent the occurrence of these troubles in a timely manner.

8. When it gets cold, the beds with tomatoes need to be protected with covering materials.

9. It is mandatory to tie tomato shoots to the stakes. They are installed on the north side, periodically tying the twine higher as the plant grows.

10.The lower leaves on the tomatoes are removed, the stepsons are broken out.

As you can see, tomato agricultural technology is not so complicated. The main thing is to carry out all activities carefully and on time.
