When I was just starting its way to the gardener, tomatoes I had a problem: they dumped ovary, and those who were tied and often remain green and not only in the open field, but in the greenhouse.
Heat-loving and light-loving tomatoes do not ripen because of the lack of sun in the years when the summer was issued cool. They reach maturity at home, at room temperature.
Why tomatoes are fastened bad
At low temperature or in rainy weather tomato flowers hardly pollinated. Pollen becomes sterile and too hot weather. If excessive nitrogen nutrition whole force of tomatoes can go to the formation of leaves, and no fruit.
When potassium deficiency ovary may remain undeveloped. tomato bushes are poorly developed, if there is not enough light and space. Light breeze, walking between plants, helps prevent late blight, the most important enemy of that culture. Therefore, taking into account the different growing conditions, tomatoes and cucumbers I have never put in a greenhouse.
Pasynkovanie tomatoes for 100% of the crop
In the axils of the leaves of this plant as the formation of new shoots sprouting. If they are not promptly removed, the bush will be burdened with a lot of unnecessary shoots (laterals), which will take nutrients from the flowering shoots.
The fruits grow in small sizes and reduced crop yields. Stepchildren I remove in the morning when the weather is dry, to cut time to dry. First cut off those that grow downward or perpendicular to the main stem. Shoots, stretching up, I leave, because they will appear the flowers, of which later appear ovary, followed, and fruit.
My experiments with tomatoes
For fast fruiting tomatoes at first I used the spray method with a mixture of milk or whey with a few drops of iodine.
But these methods apply only under specific conditions: dry weather, good sunlight and a temperature not lower than 20 degrees. When wet and cloudy weather, these measures do not help.
Acceleration of tomato ripening process
Scientists have proved that ethylene promotes ripening tomatoes and significantly improves their taste. To withdraw their tomatoes with red bush, not green, I laid out under the bushes a few apples and pears that grow in the garden. But it used only strong fruit without the slightest sign of damage and rot. The fact that these fruits emit ethylene.
This substance has an accelerating effect on the ripening process. Another way to obtain the ethylene at his dacha, I have not found. Thanks to such a reception most of the tomato blush directly on the bushes for a few days.
