Instruction
1. Watering of plants is not such simple business to what can seem at first sight. It has the features and rules. Tomatoes and pepper - very thermophilic plants. They adore sunshine and moisture. However when watering direct water so that it did not get on stalks and leaves. At direct sunshine the plant can get burns on damp leaves. Use water otstoyanny and surely warm. Cold water is used for training of plants at seedling stage.
2. You watch closely weather patterns. In hot and dry time you make watering time in two-three days. It is desirable to water tomatoes and pepper in the evening when temperature falls down by several degrees: the effect of watering will be longer. In hot weather in the afternoon water quickly evaporates from earth surface and also there is risk to burn roots and stalks of plant. In cold and rainy weather minimize watering. From excess of moisture of plant can suffer also, as well as from its shortcoming. From large amount of water soil temperature sharply goes down, and air humidity increases by 80-100%. Under such circumstances flowers are pollinated worse, and ovaries are formed badly.
3. From high humidity there are different diseases. So, one of them - bacterial cancer of tomato. At the first stage of infection on plant there are sores which turn into cracks over time. The fungal gray or white raid (white decay) - omission as spider line arises on leaves, stalks and fruits. At excessive watering the fruits of tomatoes become less sugary, acquire watery structure. In hotbed with warm and humid climate pepper and tomatoes often are surprised mealy dew. Owing to disease the fruits crack and rot. The preventive measure from diseases is served by elementary airing of the greenhouse. In certain cases for this purpose it is necessary to remove film.
4. Approximate frequency of watering of pepper and tomato: 2 times a week. Consider that the soil has to have such building which will allow it to absorb large amount of moisture. The overhead irrigation method (irrigation of plants from the top) for pepper and tomatoes is not recommended: it negatively affects growth and development of plants. Also do not use hose watering cold tap water: it injures roots of plants and breaks acid balance. Good impact on tomatoes and pepper renders having watered with soft rain water. Therefore during precipitation do not forget to gather water in capacity for watering. Watering often is connected to application of fertilizers. So, for watering add small amount of manure or other fertilizer according to the instruction to water. Frequency of fertilizers for adult plants: once a week.
5. Maintain air humidity at optimum level by means of mulching of the soil. Over ridge arrange the remains of organic origin: straw, compost, the weeded weeds. The layer has to be about 5 cm. It will slow down moisture evaporation, will reduce quantity of weeds, will support the soil in friable state. Over time the organic chemistry decays, and the soil is enriched with useful substances and minerals.
