Tomatoes are our favorite vegetables. They are rich in nutrition. They can be eaten raw or made into delicious food.
Summer is the mature period of tomatoes, and the management of this period is very important, which is the key to ensure the quality and yield.
Now let's see how to grow tomatoes in summer. How can tomatoes be planted for high yield?
1, seedbed preparation
We should prepare the seedbed before planting. In summer, tomato seedlings are mainly raised in plugs.
The substrate is made of peat, perlite and other substances, and an appropriate amount of carbendazim can be added to the substrate for disinfection.
Then, the substrate was sealed for about 12 hours, and then the substrate was put into the plug.
The matrix should not be pressed too tightly to ensure its original physical properties.
After all plugs are filled with matrix, spray water properly, and then gently press the plugs without matrix with the same properties on the plugs with matrix, and keep the depth at about 1 cm to improve the quality of matrix.
2, timely sowing
The method of tomato seedling raising is mainly in sunny bed. Before sowing, the seeds should be treated and exposed to the sun for about two days.
Then soak the seeds in warm water of about 50 degrees for 10 minute, and then soak them in solutions such as trisodium phosphate for 20 minutes to sterilize and accelerate germination.
Then take it out, clean it and prepare for sowing. Plant a seed from each tray on the prepared tray and lay it flat in the middle of the tray.
Then do a good job of management to promote seed germination and emergence.

3. Seedling management
After tomato seeds emerge, it is necessary to do a good job of thinning seedlings, usually when the seedlings grow two real leaves, so as to provide sufficient growth for robust tomato seedlings.
Then, mepiquat chloride and other drugs should be sprayed properly to prevent the seedlings from growing in vain.
Then it is necessary to properly spray chemicals such as thiophanate-methyl to prevent and control pests and diseases.
Ensure the healthy growth of seedlings and improve tomato yield.
Weed properly to avoid excessive weeds robbing the growth and nutrition of tomatoes. When the seedlings grow six true leaves, they can be planted.
4, timely colonization
Tomato planting in summer is usually carried out in late May.
After harvesting the previous crops in the soil, it is necessary to clean up the stubble in time and do a good job of soil preparation and fertilization.
Fertilizers are mainly ring fertilizer and compound fertilizer, which are evenly spread on the soil, and then the soil and fertilizer are fully mixed after soil preparation.
The cultivation methods are mainly ridging and ridging to ensure good soil drainage.
Try to avoid squatting after planting tomato seedlings.
After delaying seedlings, intertillage should be done well to improve soil moisture conservation ability, strengthen weeding, promote root growth and enhance tomato disease resistance.
