Detailed Explanation of Key Management Techniques for Cherry Tomato Seedlings
When raising seedlings, first make a raised seedling bed 1.2 m wide and 10-15 m long, break up and level the topsoil, mix evenly with sieved cow manure and a small amount of phosphate fertilizer, use a stick to press a shallow furrow 1 cm deep every 8-10 cm on the seedling bed, place one seed every 3~4 cm in the furrow, cover with a layer of sandy soil about 0.5 cm thick, ...
When raising seedlings, first make a raised seedling bed 1.2 m wide and 10-15 m long, break up and level the topsoil, mix evenly with sieved cow manure and a small amount of phosphate fertilizer, use a stick to press a shallow furrow 1 cm deep every 8-10 cm on the seedling bed, place one seed every 3~4 cm in the furrow, cover with a layer of sandy soil about 0.5 cm thick to prevent surface soil crusting and help seedling emergence. To prevent damping-off during the seedling stage, you can also mix 8 g of 50% carbendazim wettable powder with fine soil and spread it evenly in a thin layer over the bed surface.
After sowing, water thoroughly. For summer and autumn seedling raising, cover the bed surface with a shade net or rice straw, and remove it when 70% of the seedlings have emerged through the soil. They emerge in 5-7 days. After emergence, spray a 1000-fold thiophanate-methyl solution once every 2-3 days. Starting from the 2 true leaves stage, spray a 1500-fold Nongyou Yelüjing solution once every 3-4 days. Be careful not to let the seedling bed be too wet, to prevent root rot.
