The benefits of bread crumbs
Bread crumbs contain yeast, as well as healthy proteins and minerals that are essential for the normal growth and development of tomatoes. The use of such a top dressing fills the soil with yeast spores that produce useful trace elements.
A properly prepared top dressing from rusks has the following advantages:
- accelerates the growth of tomatoes (the first shoots appear after 3 days);
- increases the immune system of plants and resistance to infections;
- strengthens the root system;
- increases resistance to temperature extremes;
- increases the yield and taste of tomatoes.
Top dressing preparation technology
For the preparation of such an organic fertilizer, various bread products are used:
- crackers;
- biscuits;
- flour bakery products;
- gingerbread, etc.
A bread-based solution can be made from black, white, or gray bread baked with rye, wheat, or barley flour.
The procedure for preparing the nutritional formula:
- Cut the bread into small pieces.
- Place them in a saucepan and add 250 g of wood ash.
- Pour the composition with warm clean water.
- Add a bunch of chopped nettles and dandelions.
- Cover the pan with a lid, place a load on top and leave for 7 days.
To speed up the fermentation process, you can add a little old jam, jam, syrup or other sweet foods to such a mixture. If no ash is present, calcium-based fertilizers or bone meal can be used.
Planting tomato seedlings
In the fall, it is necessary to dig up the soil and apply organic fertilizers (rotted manure, compost and wood ash). In the spring, you can start planting tomato seedlings:
- In a well-lit area, make beds at a distance of 35-40 cm from each other.
- At a distance of 30-35 cm from each other, dig holes and pour at least 500 ml of infusion into each.
- Plant seedlings, cover with earth and water well.
Top dressing of seedlings after planting in the ground
The first time tomatoes are fertilized after the seedlings are actively growing. During this period of time, they need a large amount of nitrogen-containing substances that contribute to the growth of green mass. To do this, you can use:
- 1 kg of manure and 1 tbsp. l. nitrophosphate diluted in 10 liters of water. At least 500 ml of the finished liquid is poured under each bush.
- 2 kg of poultry droppings, diluted in 1 liter of water and infused for 2 days. The resulting mass is diluted 1:10 and poured under each plant 500 ml.
- 100 g of yeast is diluted in 10 d of water and 3 tbsp. l. Sahara. Insist for 4-5 days, dilute in 5 liters of water and water the tomato beds.
In the future, to fertilize tomatoes at the stage of flowering and fruiting, you can use drugs such as Agricola and Sodium Humate:
- The first is an environmentally friendly complex fertilizer that triples the yield culture, because contains a large amount of phosphorus, potassium, iron and other nutrients microelements. Also "Agricola" increases the resistance of tomatoes to late blight and various fungal diseases. You can use the drug from early spring until the end of the harvest, observing the dosage indicated in the manufacturer's instructions.
- The second preparation contains mineral and organic substances (proteins, carbohydrates, sodium salts and amino acids), formed as a result of the vital activity of worms and other invertebrates. Fertilizing tomatoes with sodium humate will help increase the yield by 20-30%, eliminate the need to introduce nitrogen-containing substances and improve the quality of the soil.
Disease protection
Tomatoes are susceptible to diseases such as late blight, which can ruin the entire crop in a few weeks. To combat this fungus, "Fitosporin" is used, which is intended for spraying bushes during the entire process of their vegetation and fruiting. To combat blackleg, which affects young seedlings, use "Immunocytophyte" diluted with water according to the instructions.
