How to Grow Tomatoes

  • They require a sunny and sheltered location. Ideal temperature conditions for growing are between 21 and 24°C. Growing tomatoes in a greenhouse or polytunnel is also a possible option, however we must be aware that at temperatures above 27 degrees Celsius tomatoes do not grow. Higher temperatures even cause them to dry out. Abundant watering is also necessary. We avoid watering the leaves, as plants could be attacked by mildew. We regularly pinch out side shoots to encourage fruit growth. For vine tomatoes and tomatoes that grow to greater heights, it is essential to provide support and tie them up so that the plants do not break.

  • We sow tomatoes at the earliest in mid-February, but better at the beginning of March into substrate for sowing and propagation. After 1-2 weeks we must prick out the plants into seedling trays - the substrate is the same. After 3-4 weeks we transplant the plants into pots of at least 8×8cm with horticultural substrate. Low temperature and moderate watering are suitable for growing tomatoes. For plants in pots, a temperature up to 15°C is sufficient. We harden off plants very early - by ventilating or placing them outside during the day. We plant them in polytunnels in April, and in open ground in May after the last frosts.

  • Plants are demanding in terms of organic matter and nutrients, so it is necessary to additionally mix manure into the growing substrate. It is suitable to use granulated manure - we add 300-400g per plant to the substrate.

    Tomatoes grown in beds require soil preparation before planting. On good and humus-rich soils, it is not necessary to apply manure or compost. On poor soils, we work 2-4kg per m2 of well-rotted compost or manure into the ground in autumn.

  • We fertilise plants regularly. Application in the form of liquid feed with Kristalon Start or Plod a Květ fertilisers is suitable. We fertilise with Kristalon START mainly at the beginning of plant growth, once plants start flowering, we can start using Kristalon PLOD a KVĚT. We prepare doses according to the instructions on the product packaging.

  • The most common disease affecting tomatoes is tomato blight (late blight). It can be recognised by characteristic brown spots on leaves, stems and fruits. This disease needs to be tackled preventively. If we expect rainy weather, we treat plants with Acrobat, Alliete, Ridomil, Kuprikol, etc.

    Blossom end rot of tomatoes is a nutritional disorder in the plant - calcium deficiency. It affects fruits which become deformed and a black spot appears at the tip of the fruit. We fertilise plants regularly. If the disorder appears, we treat plants with calcium nutrition products, such as InCa.

    Sap-sucking pests such as aphids or spider mites attack tomatoes very often. Against fungal diseases and sap-sucking pests, it is also suitable to use Agro NATURA Symfonie 3 in 1.

    For tomato blight, DITHANE is a suitable product. For organic farming, Bioton and Bioan products are suitable.

  • We harvest bush tomato varieties approximately 8 weeks after planting. Vine types are harvested from the 10th to 12th week. We always judge by the appearance of the harvested fruit. Tomatoes should be red, firm, not overripe.
