Own planting material saves the cost of getting the harvest. To achieve this, you need to follow some rules. Healthy seedlings should be well-formed root system, strong stalk and a few side shoots.
However, the presence of good seedling does not guarantee receipt of the crop. Amateur gardeners often make mistakes in the care of the tomatoes. One of the most common is a passion for dressings. For proper development of tomatoes need to provide them with a balanced diet.
Frequent feeding leads to disruption of the proper development of culture. Most often, this leads to the active growth of plants, and the ovaries or not formed, or fall off. This condition is called "oiling".
That tomatoes are not "fatten", you need to revise the rules of caring for them:
- Take care of the soil. The soil mixture should be nutritious, but do not allow the excess nitrogen in it. Nitrogen stimulates the growth of good tomatoes, but inhibits their reproductive function. For the same reason, not welcome fertilizing plants fresh mullein. By fertilizer nitrogen should be treated with caution at all stages of tomato development. The active growth of the green mass is a clear sign of "fattening". In this case, you need to create a stressful situation for them: to minimize watering, remove a pair of lower leaves.
- After transplanting nitrogen introducing better to stop altogether. Tomatoes useful feed phosphate fertilizers. This element contributes to the formation of the root system. If the plant gets it in short supply, then the natural food culture is too limited, it will lead to the growth of vegetative shoots, but reduces fruiting.
- After flowering tomatoes need for potassium and magnesium. This can use a weak solution of potassium permanganate. This will not only provide protection against disease, but will also stimulate fruiting. Magnesium deficiency can be replenished by sprinkling culture magnesium sulfate. The drug is sold as a complete fertilizer in specialized stores. Dosage spray and root feeding is indicated on the packaging.
- When transplanting the plant to a permanent place in the first 2-3 weeks, it is desirable to limit watering. This will encourage a more rapid adaptation of the root system. Roots activity begins to absorb moisture and plants take root quickly. However, be aware that a strong drying soil can cause stunting and falling off of flowers and ovaries.
- At the organization of irrigation during the pouring of tomatoes is necessary to constantly monitor the condition of the soil. Sharp waterlogging dry soil can lead to cracking of the fruit. Therefore, better tomatoes watered frequently but in small doses. This activates the root system and provide additional natural plant food. It is necessary to monitor the overall plant status. If during the period of fruit set wakes apical bud, then all the power plant begins to give growth rather than fruiting. In this case, it is sure to do pinched.
In general, we must remember that tomatoes do not like to over-fertilize the soil, so the dressing preparations should be made in small quantities. By following these simple tips, you can get a good crop of tomatoes, even with a small area.
