Growing Rules

The culture is planted by the seedling method. Seeds for seedlings are planted in early April.

Seeds of this variety do not need pre-treatment, but in order to ensure plant resistance to diseases, they are soaked for 20 minutes in a solution of potassium permanganate (2 mg per 5 l water).

Planting seeds

Plant the seeds correctly

Planting the seeds is carried out in a common container. The depth of their immersion in the earth is 1.2 cm.The distance between the pits should be 5-7 cm. After this, the container is placed in a bright room, the temperature of which is 20-24 ° C. In such conditions, the best germination of seeds is manifested. As soon as the first shoots appear, the temperature, according to the description, is reduced to 15-17 ° C during the day and to 8-10 ° C at night. This allows you to prepare seedlings for the upcoming transplant into open ground.

Transplant into the ground

Seedlings are planted at a constant place at the age of 30-40 days. By this time, 2-3 pairs of leaves are formed on it. The distance between rows is 60 cm. The same distance is maintained between the holes.

Care recommendations

The best yield indicators are observed if the plant receives the necessary proper care.

Watering

The variety needs frequent and plentiful watering. Every 3 days produce a drip. For one bush, at least 3-4 liters of warm water are necessary for better adhesion of the roots to the soil.

Loosening

After each irrigation, the soil is loosened, the beds are weeded from the weeds. Loosening the soil allows you to get rid of the crust on the upper layer of the earth, which does not allow air and necessary nutrients to enter the root system. The depth of weeding should be 5-6 cm.

Feeding

For the first time, fertilizers are applied 20 days after transplanting in open ground. Use organic: 1 square. m make 3 kg of humus or 2 kg of bird droppings.

The second top dressing is carried out when the fruits are tied. To prepare the product, 10 mg of superphosphate and 10 mg of ammonium nitrate are diluted in 10 l of water. 1 liter of solution is poured under each bush.

The third top dressing, using potassium nitrate (30 mg per 10 liters of water), is carried out 15-20 days before harvesting. One bush needs 1.5 liters of substance.

Fight against diseases and pests

The Dobrovod variety is resistant to fusarium, blackleg, fomosis and bacteriosis, but is susceptible to keel. You can get rid of such a disease by spraying the beds with colloidal salt (10 g per 10 liters of water).

Butterflies, aphids and cabbage are isolated from the main pests. They fight against the former by sprinkling with wood ash (200 g per 1 sq. M). Fleas are disposed of by spraying with Bordeaux liquid (2 mg per 10 liters of water). In the fight against aphids, the Oksikhom or Epin copper-containing preparations (50 ml per 10 liters of water) come to the rescue.
