Agricultural technology for growing Tobacco seeds
Tobaccos are unpretentious plants that can be grown in different climatic zones. However, to grow them properly, you must follow some rules.
1. Choosing a landing site
Tobacco prefers sunny places protected from the wind. In the shade, tobacco plants can stretch out and bloom poorly.
2. Soil
Tobacco prefers fertile, well-drained soil. Before planting, it is necessary to dig the soil to a depth of 20-30 cm and add organic fertilizers (humus, compost, peat).
3. Watering
Tobacco plants need regular watering, especially in hot weather. It is necessary to water the plants abundantly, without allowing the soil to dry out.
4. Feeding
Tobacco is fed once every 2-3 weeks during the growing season. Mineral fertilizers are used for feeding.
5. Trimming
Tobaccos do not need pruning. However, if necessary, you can remove damaged or dead parts of the plant.
6. Transplant
Tobaccos are replanted once every 2-3 years, when they no longer fit in the old pot. Transplantation is carried out in the spring.
7. Diseases and pests
Tobacco is relatively resistant to diseases and pests. However, if not properly cared for, they can be attacked by the following pests:
- Aphids: the pest feeds on the sap of leaves, causing the leaves to become deformed and fall off. Insecticides are used to control the pest.
- Spider mite: the pest feeds on the sap of leaves, causing the leaves to turn yellow and fall off. Insecticides are used to control the pest.
- Whitefly: the pest feeds on the sap of leaves, causing the leaves to turn yellow and fall off. Insecticides are used to control the pest.
8. Reproduction
Tobacco is propagated by seeds, cuttings or layering.
Seed propagation: Tobacco seeds are sown in spring in well-drained soil. The seeds germinate within a few weeks.
Cuttings: Tobacco cuttings are cut in spring or summer. The cuttings are planted in well-drained soil and covered with film or glass to create greenhouse conditions. The cuttings take root within a few weeks.
Layering: Tobacco layering can be done in spring or autumn. The cuttings are separated from the mother plant and planted in well-drained soil. The cuttings take root within a few weeks.
Additional Tips
- For tobacco plants to bloom abundantly, it is necessary to provide them with sufficient light and heat.
- Tobacco tolerates short-term frosts well, but can die in prolonged cold weather.
