How to increase the yield of tomatoes?

"Golden apples" (pomo d'oro Italian) - they call these beautiful and healthy vegetables. They contain a lot of serotonin, the hormone of happiness that lifts the mood of even the saddest pessimist. Today we can no longer imagine our garden without this vegetable. Every year we use canned and fresh tomatoes, make sauce and juice from them, use them as additives to main dishes. That is why it is very important to get a good yield of tomatoes in your garden.

This crop is characterized by an extended period of fruiting and nutrient absorption. Therefore, the yield of tomatoes depends on the value of mineral nutrition, that is, the supply of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, and is impossible without calcium, magnesium, boron, zinc, copper, iron, manganese and molybdenum. These elements contribute to the assimilation of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. increase resistance to diseases and adverse weather conditions. Therefore, the owners of plots to get a good harvest, you need to know how to properly feed the plants. When carrying out root dressing, the fertilizer goes directly to the roots and is absorbed by the plant in dissolved form. With this method, tomatoes are watered at the root with a nutrient solution.

It is root dressings that are the most basic, since with their help vegetable crops receive the largest amount of necessary nutrients. For the development of a powerful root system, stimulation of carbohydrate and nitrogen metabolism, it is necessary to carry out root dressing of tomatoes in the phase of 3-5 true leaves with calcium nitrate at a dose of 10 g per sq. M.

To increase the mechanical strength of cell walls and fruit skins. and also to preserve the ovaries in the budding phase - setting the fruits of the first brush, a second root dressing is carried out with nitroboron with a dose of 10 g per 1 sq. m. long-term preservation of dry and hot soil with night temperature drops during fruiting dramatically reduces the absorption of calcium from the soil, which leads to the formation and development of apical rot, losses from which sometimes reach 50% or more. There is also the so-called foliar feeding, which can be used as an additional method, since it will not be able to provide full fertilization of plants. Carrying out weekly foliar dressings (spraying) with a 1-2% solution of calcium nitrate (100-200 g per 10 l of water) in combination with root dressings will help to avoid the development of diseases and losses.

At each carrying out of protective measures (spraying) against diseases and pests, it is necessary to add crystalon to the solution in a dose of 10-20 g per 10 liters of water per 100 sq. M.

In the early phases, before flowering, the crystal is blue. During flowering, the crystal is white. During fruiting, the crystal is red. The almost complete absence of top rot makes it possible to reduce crop losses during the ripening period, and the resulting tomato yield will have an increased content of vitamin C and have a better keeping quality during storage.
