* Preparing tomato seeds for sowing.
First of all, calibration, disinfection and hardening of seeds are carried out. To reduce the susceptibility of future plants to diseases, sorted seeds are placed for 10-20 minutes in a 1-2 percent solution of potassium permanganate (5-10 g of potassium permanganate per 1 liter of water). Then they are washed and dried.
Warming up the seeds before dressing has a good effect. To do this, the seeds are placed in a gauze bag and heated for 2-3 hours near a stove, on a heating radiator, or dipped in hot water (+60°C) for 20 minutes.
For hardening, seeds pickled in potassium permanganate are placed in a gauze bag in a glass jar and buried in the snow for 3 days or placed in the refrigerator at a temperature of -1+3°C.
Tomato seeds are sown in boxes, filling them with a soil mixture of the following composition: 2 parts compost, 1 part sawdust or peat, 1 part sand. Add 15 g of ammonium nitrate, 20 g of double superphosphate, 10 g of potassium sulfate or 2 cups of wood ash to the soil mixture per bucket. The mixture is poured into boxes, leveled, slightly compacted, watered, furrows 1-2 cm deep are made at a distance of 5-7 cm from one another and seeds are sown in them at intervals of 3-4 cm from each other (3-5 g per box) . Seed the seeds to a depth of 1-1.5 cm. Until germination, keep the boxes covered at a temperature of +20+25°C, watering them in the morning and evening with water heated to +20+25°C. As soon as the shoots appear, the covers are removed from the boxes and placed near the window for the day, and in a warmer place at night.
Water the seedlings once a day, first heated to +22°C, and then with water at room temperature.
