Growing requirements

The tomato hybrid Sultan F1 is grown only by the seedling method. Seeds do not require disinfection before planting in containers, since this procedure is carried out before they go on sale.

It will not work to get hybrid seeds on your own plot from planted tomatoes, since the plants will not have varietal characteristics.

When planting seeds, a soil consisting of sod soil and compost is used.The seeds are placed in grooves 1.5 - 2 cm deep, and sprinkled with soil on top of them and placed in a warm room. The container with sprouted seeds can be removed to a cooler room with a temperature 2-3 degrees lower, but sunlight should be provided. It is necessary that the room be illuminated from 12 to 14 hours. If there is not enough natural light when growing seedlings, an additional one is carried out using fluorescent lamps.

When the first two true leaves appear on the plants, a dive is carried out. Plants are planted in separate pots. You can use peat pots, which are then placed in the holes on the garden bed together with the plant. Tomatoes are planted in the greenhouse from mid-May, and on open ground - only in June. They practice a moderate irrigation regime and plant feeding with a break of 2 weeks.

Although the plants of this variety are resistant to diseases, preventive methods are used in the form of loosening the soil and processing with preparations containing copper. To control pests, insecticides or folk remedies are used.
