The tour project refers to the "cabbage" family, this is one of the varieties of the trousers, obtained by crossing the fodder and the trousers. As a result of the successful work of breeders, root crops grow properly rounded form, less often - there is a renewed form. The peel is pale light, closer to the base is painted in a purple shade, the skin is dense, and the pulp is juicy and sweetish.

Growing tours

It is not so difficult to grow a brute in the country area as a newcomer may appear. The culture is unpretentious in care, so when complying with the standard rules of cultivation, summer houses collect a good harvest.

Flowers appear on the second year of cultivation, beautiful yellow. Fruits are elongated pods. Seeds of a tour paper - red or black.

How to grow a tournament from seeds

Culture is easy to grow, from seeds it is easy to get a good harvest.

Seed Turnips:

• you can sow seeds in open soil immediately (a little later), but you can grow seedlings. What and we will do. First you need to go through the planting material, remove dry, empty seeds. And all the good, put in a tire with salt water. This is a verification step, thanks to which seeds are selected. Those that surfaced are empty, they need to be collected and thrown away, and those that remained are suitable for growing seedlings;
• before boarding another test: you need to hold a minute of seeds in a weak solution of manganese. This is the standard disinfection procedure;
• then the seeds are soaked in the water room temperature so that they will be poisoned by moisture. Such sowing material germinates faster;
• sowing time: in early April or at any time, but 1.5 months before the expected landing in open soil seedlings;
• the dining room seeds are very small, they need to be mixed with sainted small sand to sow evenly;
• for sowing, take peophers, it is more convenient to grow seedlings and then there will be no problems with a transplant;
• after sowing seeds, they must be tricked by a layer of sand (1 cm), moisten the top layer of the spray gun, cover with a film;
• cups need to put on a warm window sill. So that the seedlings develop correctly, the temperature regime is required. For seedlings, the optimal temperature from +5 to +15 degrees. The place must be shaded, without direct sunlight;
• when shoots appear, it does not avoid thinning. Leave only strong seedlings. Only when you cut forward, keep in mind that pulling weak sprouts just with the root is undesirable, as they can damage the neighboring. Here you need another approach: sprouting rechoup;
• how to care for seedlings: timely watering and soil looser;
• feeding young shoots: mineral additives;
• 14 days before landing in the ground, you will need to harden the seedlings. Sprouts are put on the street or put on the balcony, first for 5 minutes, gradually increasing the time of staying on the street. In the last days, seedlings should remain outside the whole day;
• soil preparation: If the soil is acidic, it will take a lime. If nothing is done, the plant adapts and grows on any soils, only the crop will not last long;
• when transplanting, choose warm days, usually in the second half of May just ruffles the weather. In freezing, seedlings are not planted.

Tips for the preparation of the soil before landing: Brubva loves fertile soils, so the preparation of the soil must be performed since the autumn. At first Packet of the Earth, then making the manure (only not fresh!), Wood ash and nitroposka.

For those who do not want to mess around with a sediment or missed time, there is another way to plant a tour step in open soil seeds.
