Tomatoes - vegetable which is loved and planted in large numbers by summer residents and gardeners. Tomatoes use for preparation of fresh salads, preserve, press juice or cook ketchups. But what to do if leaves at tomatoes turn yellow and begin dry?

There is a lot of reasons.

The damaged roots

It arises when weeding the chopper cuts part of roots. In such cases begin to turn yellow and fall down the lower leaves of plant, and the stalk looks the patient and often bends to the earth.

Insufficient watering

Leaflets on tomato become sluggish, then begin to be twisted, turn yellow and fall down. It occurs because when landing incorrectly was prishchipnut the main root, poor watering of seedling or at all its absence. To save plants, it will be required to cast its large number waters daily before the end of blossoming, and even before fructification.

Not fertilized soil

When in the soil there are not enough nutrients, the tips of leaves of tomato begin to turn yellow, then they redden, are twisted and dry up. The substern manure, humus or synthetic fertilizers which can be got in specialized shops will be in that case appropriate.

Plant disease

Fusariosis - the fungal disease leading to yellowing and drying up of leaves on tomatoes. In it to case leaflets begin to brighten from the center, and then turn yellow completely, dry up and fall down. it is possible to save plant only processing of fungicides, but it is necessary to consider that chemical does not kill fungus, he only prevents growth of pathogenic microflora and gives the chance to plant to recover.

To avoid appearance of fusariosis, it is necessary to disinfect seeds, tanks for landing of seedling and the soil. Perfectly strong solution of potassium permanganate will approach. The soil is processed a month before planting of seedling, and then in few weeks solution of fitosporin. By such preparation the chances of mushrooms to survive come down practically to zero.

Lack of heat

If the plant lacks heat, it brakes in growth, and leaves become yellow entirely and at once. At disembarkation of tomatoes to the open ground it is necessary to consider weather patterns, and not only at the time of landing, but also on the near future. If seedlings is landed a little, then it is possible to cover it with film (to make hotbed) or special material - acrylic.
