Description of standard tomatoes
Tomatoes of this species are considered to be determinant. Their growth slows down at a certain stage: after the formation of 5-6 brushes. Despite the friendly return of fruits, they do not belong to the record holders for productivity.

Mr. Summer resident informs: features of the cultivation of standard tomatoes
In the cultivation of tomatoes of a determinant type, there are a number of agrotechnical subtleties. The seedless method is used exclusively in the southern regions. To do this, in the fall they prepare a special garden, freeing it from weeds. Seeds close up in a fairly warm soil.
To obtain an early harvest in the regions of Siberia, the Far North, the seedling method is used. Seeds are placed in containers with fertile soil. 45 days are counted until the alleged moment of planting of standard tomatoes into the ground. When 2 leaves appear, the seedlings dive in the form of 5X5 cm.
A week before being placed in the ground, the seedlings are hardened, taking out into the open air. Wells are made after 0.3 m. Add to each 300 g of humus, a handful of ash. The distance between the rows is 0.5 m. In greenhouses, a staggered planting procedure is used. For a week, the tomatoes are kept under cover material.
The adaptation period of tomatoes in the soil is 3 days. The superficial root system requires constant soil moisture. A special role is given to mulching. This prevents the formation of weeds. In addition, there is no need for a loosening process that can damage the roots.
A decade after planting, tomatoes are watered with mullein infusion. The following dressing is done after 2 weeks. This time apply infusion of wood ash. In the absence of natural fertilizers, potassium salt is used.
Some standard varieties stepchild. This is indicated on the seed bag. In other cases, the formation of a bush is not required. As the fruit ripens, the lower, yellowed, damaged leaves are torn off.
Stacked tomatoes do not have a sufficient degree of protection against disease. Prevention consists in spraying bushes with Fitosporin. The nearby planted fragrant plants help to drive off dangerous pests: basil, coriander, nasturtium, tagetis. An effective method is pollination of beds with ash, ground pepper.
Each variety of standard tomatoes has original taste, attractive external characteristics. The choice of summer residents is determined by the region of cultivation, advantages, possible disadvantages. Unpretentious in the care of vegetable crops will delight everyone with a high yield.
