The tomato is one of the most popular cultures on kitchen gardens of our country. And it is not surprising, this vegetable has not only the unique taste demanded in many recipes of dishes but also a number of the useful vitamins and minerals necessary for organism.
In spite of the fact that the tomato not bad grows at the majority of latitude of our country, nevertheless the good harvest requires leaving. Basic care consists in the following in the summer: correct watering, fertilizing root, fertilizing extra root, fight against insects wreckers, and also support of plant.
Correct watering. In the summer this point is especially relevant in view of the fact that tomatoes are not loved as the overdried earth, and stagnation of water therefore it is very important to organize regular moderate watering. It is necessary to deliver water directly to root of plants, in order to avoid burns of leaves to the sun. Ideally drop watering copes with all these tasks.
Root fertilizing is very relevant not only during growth of plant, but also during blossoming and infructescence. Fertilizing can be carried out both industrial fertilizers (saltpeter), and folk remedies (tinctures of chicken dung, mulch).
Also extra root fertilizing is similarly made. For these purposes there is huge set of fertilizers, dozrevatel of fruits, accelerators of growth and blossoming which are intended for spraying of plants. The only condition for their use is their dispersion only in morning or evening hours, or in cloudy weather not to allow burns of leaves.
Fight against insects wreckers consists in manual gathering of the last, or use of disinsection substances. The main wreckers of tomatoes are: Colorado beetle, medvedka, nematode, wireworm, different types of bugs and ticks. Insecticides should be applied with care – only in morning and evening hours as they are equally pernicious both to mean insects, and to useful, like bees. Support of plants consists in their weeding from weeds, loosening and earthing up of the earth, mulching, podvyazyvaniye of stalks and pasynkovaniya.
Loosening of the earth and earthing up saturate the soil with oxygen which is important for root system as well as water. Mulching prevents fast evaporation of moisture, reduces or at all stops growth of weeds and if the mulch is executed not by agrofibre, and on the basis of organic chemistry (the crushed grass, sawdust, peel of sunflower and other), then the mulch also performs fertilizer function. Podvyazyvaniye of stalks does not allow to break to plant that is especially relevant during growth and maturing of fruits. Pasynkovaniye increases inflow of nutrients to fruits and ovaries of tomato.
Care for tomatoes during the summer period is rather simple, but is not less important, than during other periods of their life. The main thing as the real owner to surround the plants with love and care, they need them not less other living beings. And then they will pay back with excellent harvest.
