Tomato or tomato is a vegetable crop whose homeland is considered to be South America. Consequently, this plant is heat-loving and quite capricious in our climate conditions. Every summer resident dreams of a reward for his painstaking work on growing this vegetable - a good harvest. Gardeners have revealed a number of secrets that will help in achieving the goal and increase the number of ovaries. The main thing to remember is that tomatoes require careful and constant care.
- Properly prepared soil, saturated with humus and enriched with potassium sulfate and superphosphate, should be moderately loose and disinfected. Tomatoes are planted in such soil. After this, it is necessary to periodically hill and mulch the soil.
- The planting process should be thought out to the smallest detail, taking into account the direction of the sun's rays in the morning, at lunchtime and in the evening. After all, tomatoes are a sun-loving plant. It is recommended to plant them from east to west. The formula is known: the more light, the more ovaries. Free space is also important. The distance between seedlings should be at least 0.7 meters.
- The temperature regime must be maintained throughout the life of the plant. The thermometer column must be kept within 13-21 C ° at night and no more than 28 C ° during the day. Otherwise, the flowers will fall off.
- Humidity should be from 40 to 70 percent. Such indicators are most favorable for obtaining ovaries. Therefore, it is recommended to spray and water tomatoes in the morning.To maintain the required temperature and humidity, the greenhouse room needs regular ventilation.
- Three-stage treatment with boric acid, which helps eliminate late blight and transport sugar. This has a beneficial effect on the taste of the vegetable and the appearance of new ovaries. The 1st stage is carried out during the formation of buds, the 2nd - during active flowering, the 3rd - when all the ovaries have formed.
- Regular pollination. Although tomatoes are self-pollinating plants, they could use some help in this matter. Shake the plants every few days and they will reward you with a good harvest.
- Additional supply of nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium accelerates the process of plant growth and the appearance of ovaries. The main thing is to choose the right amount of fertilizing and not to overdo it. Otherwise, all the strength will go into the stem and foliage, and not into the development of the ovary.
- Fighting diseases caused by fungi, harmful bacteria, viruses or insect activity. They can lead to the death of the plant. Timely recognition of danger and its elimination is the key to success.
- Pinching is the process of removing excess shoots so that all the strength of the plant goes to the development of the ovaries. It is recommended to start at the seedling stage and continue every week thereafter.
- The use of stimulants aimed specifically at enlarging the ovaries. They come in the form of tablets, powder or liquid. They help even under unfavorable conditions, increasing productivity by 25 percent.
Compliance with all recommendations will optimize the process of growing tomatoes, and the result will not be long in coming.
