So do you know its planting time and method? The planting time of tomatoes should be considered according to the local climate and conditions. Let's take a look at the planting time and methods of tomatoes.

Planting time

Tomato cultivation has a long history, after years of cultivation of many varieties, can greatly improve the ability to adapt to the environment, planting time also varies with the regional climate temperature. The planting time of spring tomato is from February to May, that of autumn and winter is from July to September, and that of winter and spring is from November to February of next year.

Planting method

1. Seed treatment

Soaking seeds in warm water before planting can not only break seed dormancy and promote germination, but also have a certain effect of sterilization and sterilization. First soak the seeds in clean water for an hour or two, then put the seeds in warm water of 50-60 degrees and stir constantly, which can prevent the seeds from scald, reduce the water temperature and heat up the water, and the whole process is maintained at about 15 minutes. Then soak the seeds for another 3-5 hours before sowing.

2. Sowing and planting

After the seed treatment, sowing in the seedbed, sowing should not be too dense, sowing about 30 grams of seeds per square meter is the best, keep the soil moist, the temperature is between 22-28 degrees, about 3-4 days can sprout. However, when the seedlings grow two or three true leaves, they can be planted, and the ground temperature is stable above 10 ℃, which is beneficial to root growth and improve the survival rate.

3. Field management

After planting, intermediate ploughing should be carried out in time to promote rapid rooting and slow seedling growth, weed control in medium ploughing and loose soil, and fertilization should be based on base fertilizer. Sufficient base fertilizer should be applied to the cultivated land before planting, but no fertilization is needed in the later stage. If you want its rapid growth, you can apply appropriate fertilizer once or twice. Fertilizing should be watered immediately, which can reduce the fertility concentration so as not to burn the roots. usually watering also needs to be watered according to seasonal climate changes, more watering should be done in the dry season, less watering in winter, and drainage measures should be done in the rainy season to avoid excessive accumulation of water and cause rotting roots. Except for a few erect varieties, all the other varieties of tomato need to be cultivated.

The above is the introduction of the planting time and methods of tomatoes brought by the pro-agricultural network, the planting method of tomatoes is still relatively simple, and its planting management is also convenient, except for special circumstances, generally grow well with a little management after planting.
