HOW TO MAKE A SEEDLING TRAY

TO BEGIN, SEEDLINGS OF EACH VARIETY ARE SOWN AND TRANSPLANTED ONE VARIETY AT A TIME. EACH VARIETY IS SOWN IN SOILS WHERE THAT TYPE OF SEED HAS NEVER BEEN PLANTED BEFORE. USUALLY, WE PLANT 100 SEEDLINGS PER VARIETY. THE FIELD IS REGULARLY CHECKED TO SEE IF ANY SEEDLING SHOWS ANOMALIES OR FUNGI, AND IN THIS CASE, IT IS IMMEDIATELY REMOVED. WHEN THE PRODUCT IS READY TO FRUIT, EACH PLANT IS INSPECTED AND ONLY 10 PLANTS AMONG THE BEST (IN TERMS OF GROWTH, FRUITS, BUSHINESS) ARE SELECTED (THE SELECTED PLANT IS TIED WITH A COLORED STICK TO DISTINGUISH IT).

AT THIS POINT, THE 10 SELECTED PLANTS ARE USED ONLY FOR SEED PRODUCTION, THUS WE HAVE GENETIC IMPROVEMENT DONE SOLELY THROUGH MANUAL SELECTION.

CULTIVATION ADVICE

TOMATOES: TRANSPLANT DISTANCE 20/25 CM BETWEEN PLANTS, FOR DWARF VARIETIES 40/50 CM, BETWEEN ROWS 80/100 CM

EGGPLANTS: 30/40 CM BETWEEN PLANTS, 80/100 CM BETWEEN ROWS

PEPPERS: 30/40 CM BETWEEN PLANTS, 80/100 CM BETWEEN ROWS

LETTUCES: 50 CM BETWEEN PLANTS, 80 CM BETWEEN ROWS

DO NOT FERTILIZE THE YOUNG PLANTS IMMEDIATELY AFTER PLANTING, BUT WAIT AROUND A MONTH AND NEVER EXCEED WITH THE QUANTITIES AS IT COULD BURN THE PLANTS.

WE WATER THE PLANTS WITH COPPER SULFATE STONE, BUT EASILY FOUND IN THE MARKET IS THE "BURGUNDY PASTE." IT IS NOTHING BUT NATURAL COPPER SULFATE AND LIME. WATER THE PLANTS EVERY 15 DAYS AND SUSPEND TREATMENT 15 DAYS BEFORE HARVEST.
