Growing Features

Since the hybrid Sunrise with equal success is grown in open ground and in sheltered, the methods of planting are practiced such - sowing seeds and planting seedlings.

Seed preparation takes place in the usual way. Sowing seeds for seedlings is carried out in March. Seeds germinate at a temperature of 25 ° C. In phase 2 of these leaves, the seedlings dive. Hardened seedlings are planted in sheltered or open ground at the age of 35 - 45 days.

The seedling method is most suitable for cool regions. But in areas where spring comes early and the soil quickly warms up to 12-14 ° С, which are necessary for planting, this method is also respected. Thanks to the grown seedlings, gardeners have the opportunity to get a crop earlier than planting a variety with seeds.

The seedling method of growing tomato sunrise is suitable for any region

Since tomato Sunrise has rather compact bushes, the distance between seedlings on the bed can be left up to 40 cm. The aisles also do not differ in width - 50 cm is enough.

Such a tight planting scheme helps owners of small plots very much, allowing planting more plants per 1 m².

The seed method, although not as successful as the seedling, is also suitable for growing this variety. It is used only in the southern regions. The timing of sowing seed material falls in late April - early May. To create comfortable conditions for seeds to germinate, shelter is installed over the bed.

Seeds on the garden bed are sown densely, then to thin out, leaving the strongest seedlings for further cultivation.

Care Features

Sunrise Hybrid Care is generally standard. It is necessary to maintain cleanliness in the beds, conducting timely weeding and loosening after watering. But there are some nuances without which the taste of the fruit and its yield may not reach its standard.

1. Watering. Planted seedlings are watered as usual, allowing the plant to quickly adapt and begin to form a crop. But further, when the fruits are ripening, the frequency of watering is reduced to 1 time in 10 days in hot weather. If the weather is cloudy, then watered even less often. This watering regime will allow more sugars to accumulate in Sunrise tomato fruits so that the acidity present in the taste does not become the leader.
2. Shaping and garter. During the growth period of tomato, Sunrise is sure to carry out stepsoning. Despite the stunted bush, they should be tied up during the ripening of fruit brushes, as heavy fruits can cause a break in a fragile twig.
3. Fertilizers As the main top dressing, potassium nitrate and phosphorus-containing compounds are most often used. Most of them are introduced during the formation of the fruit.

So that the soil under the Sunrise tomato bush does not get too wet, try to use the drip irrigation system

Possible diseases and pests, how to resist them

The best protection against diseases and pests is compliance with agricultural technology and preventive treatment. Therefore, it is precisely this stage of care that should be paid more attention to, because, despite the strong immunity of tomato Sunrise, anything can happen.

Perhaps it’s worth starting with pests, since they most often threaten tomato beds. The most dangerous for the hybrid are:

• wormwood infusion - 1 kg of chopped fresh grass or 100 g of dried grass pour 10 liters of water, preferably rain, but you can just well settled down tap water. Keep the container in a warm place for 10 days, stirring the fermenting solution every day. Then filter the infusion. Before use, mix 1 part of wormwood infusion with 9 parts of water.

If pests are already seen on the beds with tomatoes, then it is best to use chemicals:

• Actara;
• Confidor;
• Prestige;
• Karbofosom.

To control pests, you can use many drugs, for example, Confidor

Of the diseases, tomato sunrise is most likely to be threatened by late blight, which is very fond of wet and cold weather. The fungus is able to affect all the aerial parts of the plant - leaves, stems and fruits. In order to prevent the spread of the disease, diseased bushes should be dug from the beds and destroyed. The following drugs have proven themselves best as a fight against fungus:

• Fitosporin;
• Gamair;
• Quadris;
• Fundazole;
• Ridoml Gold.

As a preventive measure, the treatment is carried out with a light pink manganese solution, whey diluted with water 1: 1 or a solution of copper sulfate - 2 tbsp. l substances per 10 liters of water.

Phytophthora on tomatoes is easier to prevent with proper agricultural technology than to fight it, losing crop
