Growing
Volgograd tomatoes are grown both in greenhouses and in the open field. Usually, these tomatoes are planted by seedling method. In order to grow a good harvest, it is necessary to prepare a garden bed in advance, which is done in late autumn. The earth is dug up and fertilized in the form of humus and minerals. In the spring, the earth is dug up again and ammonium nitrate is added to it. How to prepare the soil for tomatoes in the fall in a greenhouse is described at this link.
Ammonium nitrate is the best fertilizer for most crops
Before planting seeds for seedlings, they are soaked for two hours in a weak solution of potassium permanganate, and then washed with water. For sowing, take specially prepared soil, which can be purchased in specialized stores.
For sowing seeds, wooden boxes are used. The sowing depth should not be more than 2 cm, otherwise the sprouts will not be able to hatch. The distance between the seeds is 3 cm. Water the plantings with warm water and cover with foil. Drawers are put away in a dark and warm place. As soon as shoots appear, and this happens somewhere in a week, the film is removed, and the containers with seedlings are placed in a bright place. If the weather is cloudy, artificial lighting will be required for seedlings.
After the appearance of 5-7 strong leaves, the seedlings must be dived into separate pots. 
Seeds are sown for seedlings, usually in March - April, depending on where the plants will be planted - in a greenhouse or open ground. The sowing time is chosen in accordance with the lunar sowing calendar for tomatoes.
Tomatoes will grow well in those places where zucchini, beans, carrots, peas, cabbage, cucumbers grew a year earlier.
In the open field
Seedlings are planted in open ground 30-45 days after the emergence of sprouts, as soon as the threat of night frosts has passed. This usually happens in early June. In order for the plants to take root as much as possible, they are taken out into the open air in advance, each day increasing the duration of their stay on the street.
Seedlings begin to grow at home in early spring.
Seedlings are planted on the beds according to the 50x70 scheme, adding nitrogen-containing fertilizer to the prepared holes, as well as a handful of wood ash, which will protect them from decay and saturate the soil with minerals.
It is recommended to mulch the soil around the roots of tomato bushes with sawdust to make it easier to care for them.
Plants are watered abundantly, every 10 days, early in the morning or after sunset to prevent sunburn.
Care also consists of pinching tomatoes and feeding. If a small number of ovaries form on the plants, they should be fed with urea. Also, to achieve high yields, organic fertilizers should be applied - last year's manure and compost.
The stepchildren are harvested early in the morning, leaving small shoots so that the branch does not grow again.
After cutting off, stepchildren do not need to be thrown out. An excellent fertilizer can be prepared from them. To do this, they are put into a barrel and filled with water, where the waste ferments for 2-3 weeks.Then the solution is filtered and diluted with water 1:10. This fertilizer is used as a top dressing before flowering.
In greenhouses
Seedlings are planted in greenhouses in the same way as in open ground, but a little earlier - in May. The principle of planting and leaving is the same. The only thing to do is to open the greenhouse in hot weather so that the plants are not cooked from the heat. Growing tomato seedlings at home is described in this material.
It is very important to ventilate the greenhouse, but it must be borne in mind that tomatoes do not like drafts.
This is also done in order to provide access to tomato bushes for pollinating insects when the plants begin to bloom. More about
Watering under a film cover is carried out a little more often - once every seven days.
Yield
The first fruits on the bushes can appear as early as 90 days after germination. Volgograd tomato bears fruit very well. Up to 8 kg of fruits are harvested from 1 square meter. With good care, one plant produces about 6 kg of tomatoes. The variety is characterized by the amicable appearance of ovaries, from which juicy tomatoes appear and ripen almost simultaneously. This fact allows the variety to be widely used for commercial purposes, that is, for sale.
Productivity reaches up to 8 kilograms per square meter Diseases and pests
In general, this type of tomato is resistant to diseases and pests. He practically does not get sick with veritzillosis, leaf spot, mosaics, but there is a possibility of damage to root and gray rot, especially at high humidity and air temperatures above +29. If the seeds were purchased from a store, then most likely they have already been treated for disease. However, it is better to play it safe and carry out preventive disinfection without waiting for the bushes to get sick. For this, young plants are treated with phytosporin or a pinkish solution of potassium permanganate.
Every gardener should have this biofungicide. Fitosporin is a very cheap and widely available drug
Spraying with insecticides will save from insect attacks, which will completely destroy the whitefly, spider mites and thrips. An aqueous solution of laundry soap will relieve aphids.
If there is a suspicion of plant damage by phytosporosis, tomatoes should be sprayed with preparations containing copper.
