The residence of tomatoes is not a disease at all, but the errors in the care and cultivation of culture. Many of us have noticed that some gardeners have very powerful, beautiful tomatoes, with dark green leaves in the beds. In this article we will tell you why this is happening, and how to deal with this phenomenon.
Tomatoes are burning in open ground, a thick trunk, do not tie, go to the tops: reasons
The living itself is characterized by the fact that the bush has very large, large leaves, a thick stem. The color of the leaves is dark green. They seem very dense and strong. At the same time, the main drawback of such a phenomenon is that almost all the energy of the plants spend precisely on the growth of leaves, shoots. And not to ripen fruits and flowering. In addition, another sign of tomato fat is the emergence of an additional escape just in the flowering sites. From a brush where there are already fruits and additional color. In the greenhouse, the residence manifests itself in a slightly different way: the bushes seem dense, healthy with a large number of leaves, thick stems, but at the same time the upper leaves are twisted.
There are several reasons why tomatoes are fattening.
Causes:
- A large number of organic fertilizers. Quite often, before planting, it is recommended to fertilize the soil with organic fertilizers, such as manure, humus or compost. The summer resident makes a large number of fertilizers. Because of this, tomatoes grow into the stem and vegetative mass. Moreover, the amount of fruits is quite small, the crop is negligible.
- Another reason is high humidity. Most often, this happens mainly in greenhouses. Because quite often they recommend tomatoes not only to water under the root, but also to spray. If you observe high humidity, you need to reduce watering.
- Lack of light. This is also mainly in the greenhouse, when the bushes are planted tightly to each other and their leaves are in contact with each other. They are not enough light.
What to do, how to fight if tomatoes are burning?
In order to get rid of the problem, it is necessary to resort to a number of measures. It all depends on whether tomato lives on open ground or in a greenhouse.
We eliminate tomato residents:
- You need to completely stop watering for a week. After that, water the plants with potassium fertilizer. Next, it is worth firing tomatoes: remove the side leaves. In greenhouse conditions, it is also necessary to cut the leaves that depart from the upper hand.
- Such actions will contribute to the fact that the bush will come more light and the fruits will ripen faster. It will also contribute to better flowering and the appearance of new fruit ovaries.
- Next, you need to pour the remaining fertilizers under the root. If you grow tomatoes in a greenhouse, you need to raise the daily temperature to 26 degrees, and night to 23. The increase in temperature will help reduce humidity, and the removal of the leaves will allow ovaries with flowers and fruits.
- More sun and light. This will contribute to the increase and rapid ripening of fruits. At the same time, the growth of stems and leaves will stop. All strength and energy will be spent on the ripening of the fruits themselves, and not the plant as a whole.
If tomatoes are fatten, is it necessary and what to feed?
Feeding options:
- Phosphate fertilizer contains 30-40 % potassium, 50 % phosphorus. These elements are in a rapidly discriminated form. Therefore, you need to do spraying right away, not defended. For a solution, it is necessary to dissolve 50 g of fertilizer in a bucket of warm water. Draw into a spray gun and apply droplets to the fox and stems of the plant.
- Phosphates contribute to the delay in development and stimulate the ripening of fruits.
- Carry out superphosphate top dressing. You need to dissolve 3 tablespoons of superphosphate in 10 liters of water. As soon as the grains dissolve, you need to dial the sprayer and spray the leaves.
- Such foliar top dressing is an ambulance for the fatty of tomatoes.
As you can see, there are a lot of causes of tomato. Almost each of the experienced summer residents has repeatedly faced such a problem. There are a lot of ways to solve it and they are all simple.
