• Although the stem of the bush is very powerful, when grown in greenhouse, it is tied to a support so that the tomatoes do not fall under the weight of the pouring fruits.
• For foliar dressing, EM preparations are used that act simultaneously in two directions (supply of nutrients and protection against possible diseases).
