Secrets of a good tomato harvest

Getting a rich harvest of tomatoes is not an easy task, but you should not despair. It is still possible to achieve abundant fruiting of the crop if you follow the recommendations of experienced vegetable growers.

Landing place
Half of the success will come from the landing site, if you choose it correctly. The ridge should be positioned from west to east, so that the thermophilic vegetable gets maximum sunlight and heat. But it is more productive to grow crops in greenhouse conditions. The greenhouse will provide her with better warming during the day and a more comfortable temperature at night. Increased daylight hours will have a positive effect on increasing yields.

Pollination
Tomato is a self—pollinating crop. However, in order for the pollination process to be more fruitful, he needs help. Insects and wind do an excellent job with this task, but they often do not have access to the greenhouse, so the gardener needs to take the initiative and periodically shake the flowering brushes. Spraying with drugs that stimulate fruit formation is effective.

Root care and stepsonization
It is necessary to monitor the development of the root system, because it nourishes the plant. Hoeing done on time will strengthen the roots.

If you look closely at the stems and find light pimples and growths that have appeared on it near the soil, the bush needs to be hoed with moistened soil. And when the color of the stem turns blue, instead of greenish, as usual, they do another raking.

In order to save the strength of the crop, the stepsons are removed, which has a positive effect on the formation and maturation of fruits. Unnecessary shoots are cut off, leaving a stump of about cm. Tomatoes growing in unprotected soil need only one procedure per summer, in greenhouses this is done twice every 3-4 weeks.

In addition to the stepsons, the leaves are also cut off, their overabundance puts an extra burden on the bush. From the second half of June, 2-3 leaves are removed weekly from the bottom until the first flowering brushes form on the bush.

Top dressing
Weekly spraying, which includes:

Iodine, in the amount of 20 drops, diluted in whey (liter) per 10-liter volume of water.

Tsp. saltpeter (calcium or potassium) per volume of water equal to 10 liters.

10 liters of water and 1 tsp of urea.

With the beginning of fruit formation, tomatoes are fed with nutrient solutions consisting of such components:

Mix tablespoons of superphosphate with 10 liters of water. The resulting solution is consumed per m2.

Dissolve nitrophoska and potassium humate, taken one tablespoon at a time, in a 10-liter container with water. This volume of the mixture is used per 2 m2.

Add mullein (liquid) and tbsp. l. nitrofoski to 10 liters of water. Pour half a liter of the mixture under each plant.

Watering
Tomatoes are moisture-loving and require regular watering, preventing the soil from drying out. 1-2 waterings are performed per week, using about 3 liters of water per bush, the amount of which is gradually increased to 10 liters.
