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, but we must keep in mind that at temperatures above 27 degrees Celsius, tomatoes stop growing. Higher temperatures even cause them to dry out. Abundant watering is also necessary. We avoid watering the leaves, as this could cause fungal diseases to attack the plants. Regularly pinch out side shoots to support fruit growth. For staking tomatoes and tomatoes growing to larger sizes, it is essential to provide support and tie them up so the plants don't break.

  • We sow tomatoes 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 seed 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 the plants very early - by ventilating or placing them outside during the day. We plant them in the polytunnel in April, and in open ground in May after the last frost.

  • Plants are demanding in 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 regularly fertilize the plants. Application in the form of liquid fertilizer with Kristalon Start or Fruit and Flower is suitable. We fertilize with Kristalon START mainly at the beginning of plant growth; once the plants start flowering, we can start using Kristalon FRUIT and FLOWER. We prepare doses according to the instructions on the product packaging.

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

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

    Sucking pests such as aphids or spider mites attack tomatoes very often. It is suitable to use Agro NATURA Symphony 3 in 1 against both fungal diseases and sucking pests.

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

  • Bush varieties of tomatoes are harvested approximately 8 weeks from planting. Staking varieties are harvested from the 10th to 12th week. We always follow the appearance of the harvested fruit. Tomatoes should be red, firm, and not overripe.
