On a note
The formation is subjected poludeterminantnye indeterminate and varieties and hybrids. They have the ability to grow for the whole season, constantly forming new flower brush. Stem tall tomatoes can reach a height of 2 m. These species are planted not only in greenhouses, but also the exhaust gas, and correct structure of the bush affects not only the yield but also the ability of plants to resist fungal diseases.
Sometimes gardeners question the need for the forming of the bushes, thinking that every reappear stem also grow tomatoes. But the growth of lateral shoots leads to thickening of the bush, and yields fall. At each new branch there are flowers, the ovary but they practically do not form, t. To. Plants do not have enough food and sunlight.
Tall tomatoes can generate 1-3 stalk. A larger number of trunks not add tomatoes yields. Additionally gelled bushes feature shoots, appeared later, is that even blindfolded them tomatoes do not have time to even reach technical maturity when they can be removed at ripening. The plant is wasting power on flowering and berry filling unnecessary, and those of the ovary that could develop high-grade, suffer from lack of moisture and nutrition.
Especially important to generate greenhouse tomatoes. They grow indoors, in close proximity to each other, and too thick bush prevents the plants nearby. In the thickets of fast-spreading infection.
garter tomatoes
Formation of tall varieties accompanied by tying the bushes to the support. If this is not done, long stems fall to the ground, and brush the fruits are at risk of suffering from slugs, fungus, or simply contaminants. Tie and a well-formed bush is more convenient to handle, it takes up less space, better lit and ventilated, less affected by fungal diseases.
And forming a garter produce two main ways:
- On the stakes. Each individual bearing bush substituted by sticking a metal, plastic or wooden dowel into the soil next to tall tomato varieties. This method involves the formation of only one stem, which need to be tied to a peg for each new flower brush. To keep tomatoes in the barrel 1, with the young plants begin to break off all suckers - side shoots grow back in the leaf axils. This should be done while the escape is not reached 5-7 cm in length. In mid-August tomatoes in the exhaust gas, and pinch out the tip of the main stem.
- On a trellis. Tapestry consists of several horizontal rows of wire stretched over a number of tomatoes. They can tie 1-3 escape. For formation of the very first left 1-2 stepson, doraschivaya them until 4-6 flower hands and tying to the wire as the stems rise. Thereafter, the side branch pinch. The central bore in the greenhouse can grow up to the top of the trellis and then prischipnut if it already has brushes with 7-8 ovaries. The exhaust tip of the pinch in August. It can be grown on a trellis and bushes formed in the barrel 1 as a garter for coke.
We tied with tomatoes and formed to be removed and a portion of the lower leaves; they do not need a plant, begin to die and prevent good ventilation plantation. The leaves are harvested only up to 1/3 the length of the stem from the bottom, as new brushes.
