To receive good harvest of tomatoes, many gardeners use such method as pasynkovaniye. Pasynkovaniye is forming of bushes tomato.
During growth at tomato large number of side escapes is formed, just they also are called stepsons. They grow from the bosoms of leaves which are located on the main stalk. Not deleted stepsons powerfully develop and the plant turns into the powerful bush having set of flowers. And therefore all forces of such tomato will be directed not to fruits, and to forming of greens. In this case fruits will not manage to grow ripe.
It is necessary to study some subtleties of pasynkovaniye. Important factor is the grade tomato. Grades are undersized (determinant) and tall. And so, the pasynkovaniye is applied most often to tall grades as determinant independently stop the growth and branching at them pretty weak.
Once again it is worth repeating - pasynkovaniye is breaking of side escapes (stepsons) from sheet bosoms. It is not necessary to confuse leaves with stepsons. It is necessary to know that on naked stalk the stepsons do not grow. They grow up between the main stalk and leaf, and then on them new stepsons grow. Thus the tomato begins to cluster.
Some inexperienced gardeners are sorry to delete greens about tomato. But it is necessary to understand in that case that main goal of the gardener - in receiving big harvest, but not gardening of kitchen garden. The primary value has power supply and illumination of plants, but not the number of escapes. For the same reason landings cannot be thickened at all. And probably, the terrible sore of nightshade family - phytophthora is the most important reason of fight against thickening. No processings will save harvest from death if the bush well is not aired.
The plants which have already well strengthened and begun intensive growth Pasynkutsya. The stepsons who have reached length five - seven centimeters show off. It becomes not knife, and hands, after removal of the stepson there has to be stump. If to speak about time of day for removal of escapes, then preference should be given to morning time.
