Probably, each gardener grows up tomatoes on the site. Some at the same time manage to reap impressive crop, and at others everything goes ""to tops of vegetable"". Simply for achievement of good result important it is correct to pasynkovat bushes.
Pasynkovaniye is removal of the escapes growing from sheet bosoms. It is important to learn to distinguish obrazovyvayushchiyesya stepsons from foliage, to show attentiveness at examination of bushes. Over time gardeners ""become skilled"" and begin to do it without special work.
It is important to delete stepsons in time, with their length of 5-7 centimeters. By the way, it is better not to cut off escapes, and to break out, leaving small stumps 2-3 millimeters long that on vacant place the new escape did not grow. Experts advise to pasynkovat tomatoes in the morning when shoots break off easier.
If in time to remove escapes it has not turned out, they need all the same to be removed — better late than never. If excess shoots remain on plant, it will spend juice, many leaves and few fruits as a result will turn out.
The order of pasynkovaniye depends on what has to be bush. In one stalk usually grow up indeterminantny grades, with high bushes, and determinant and semi-determinant (low) more often do with two-three stalks.
Cultivation provides removal in one stalk practically of all stepsons, except for top. We leave it: if the main bush zavershkutsya early and will cease to grow, will be spare, on it there will be ovaries too and raise fruits. Also it is necessary to remove leaves below the first ovary. After emergence of the following brush we remove all leaflets to it again.
Tall grades, besides removal of stepsons, demand also prishchipyvaniye — removal of the top for growth stop. Usually it becomes at the end of July or the beginning of August when it becomes clear that all remained brushes will not manage to yield fruits any more. After nipping it is already possible to remove all leaves, except several top.
If the bush is formed in two stalks, it is necessary to keep the main escape and the stepson growing under the first brush. Usually it turns out the strongest. We tie up and then we watch both trunks, other stepsons we break out approximately once a week.
When forming bush in three stalks it is necessary to keep the stepson under the first brush and one more, the strongest of those which are located below.
You should not be greedy and leave many stalks on one bush in hope that there will be more fruits. The effect will be the return — fruits will be less, and they will be not such large.
