Why at tomatoes fall down flowers

There is nothing difficult in cultivation of tomatoes, however at the wrong conditions of keeping these plants can ache, cease to fructify or at all to die. Therefore annually to reap good harvest, it is necessary to look after culture competently.

Temperature drops

To fall down flowers and ovaries of tomatoes can because of too high or because of excessively low temperature. Tomatoes well grow and develop at 18-26 degrees, any deviations from these digits have negative effect on culture. To prevent falling off of peduncles, it is necessary to create conditions that the air temperature of the environment surrounding them fluctuated slightly for plants. For this purpose it is enough to establish the greenhouse, to place in it the thermometer and as required to air design, to close it for the night, being guided by thermometer parameters.

Overwetting of soil and air

Tomatoes do not love high air humidity, excessive overwetting of the soil therefore to avoid falling off of flowers, it is necessary to approach watering with all gravity - not to water saplings more often than it is required. Once in two days - ideal frequency in hot weather. If culture is grown up in hotbed, then its airing has to become everyday, at dense landings it is desirable to make removal of the lower leaves - it will improve circulation of air masses.

Lack of light

Bad illumination in certain cases too can lead to fall of flowers of tomatoes, especially together with the shortage of power supply of saplings from soil. The lack of light (plants the most part are in shadow) has negative effect on photosynthesis - there is no production of organic matter in leaves in the necessary quantities because of what tomatoes just starve. Not to die, they are forced to get rid of flowers. From this conclusion follows that it is necessary to put culture on solar beds where the sun is absent only in midday hours. Well and not to forget to feed up plants, alternating industrial complex fertilizers to self-made infusions.

It is worth reminding also of rules of landing: tomatoes cannot be planted closely to each other as plants expand, their krone becomes magnificent therefore they begin fight for light and nutrients in soil. At the first stages of such fight at culture begin to fall down flowers and if not to make any measures, then it will affect productivity: the quantity of fruits will decrease, time of their maturing will increase, vegetables will become small.
