Before planting tomato seedlings in open ground, you need to be sure that the soil temperature has warmed up to at least plus 10°.
Many gardeners do not know what important manipulations need to be carried out with seedlings so that tomatoes grow healthy, strong and delight with a harvest.
Processing of seedlings
Tomatoes are fed 7 days before planting in open ground. And it is better to do this in the morning or evening, after carrying out foliar feeding - spraying on the leaf.
Root feeding is allowed and you can use “Gumistar” or fertilizers based on liquid vermicompost.
If the seedlings are thin and very elongated, then 3 days before planting, remove all the lower leaves, including cotyledons, and also feed them.
The day before planting, tomatoes are treated with pest control products so that no chemical remains in the plant by the time the harvest is collected.
Tomato roots can be pre-treated by immersing them in a pest control solution for 1 hour.
