Flowers tomatoes wither, the ovaries do not... Why is this happening and how to fix

Hello!

How frustrating when instead of ovaries on tomatoes in the greenhouse there are barren flowers - the flowers dry up. After all, there could show off the fruits poured... In fact, this problem is common enough and studied. Therefore, knowing the cause Netherbloom in tomatoes, can compete for the harvest! Basket will be full again :)

Lack of nutrients

For normal fruiting tomatoes need a normal diet. No mineral elements - the plant will take them out of the bottom leaves, but it will get and colors. They just wither and do not become full-fledged ovaries.

What to do: Take care of the fertility of the soil for planting in a timely manner to feed the tomatoes. At the time of formation of ovaries, and the plant needs for phosphorus and potassium. People with purchased fertilizer alternative - a solution of wood ash on the sheet. By the way, and absolutely non-toxic!

A little secret: for the formation of ovaries tomatoes need boron. Therefore, at the time of flowering plants are sprayed with a solution of boric acid: 10 g per 10 liters. Only the contents of the sachet dissolve first in a small amount of hot water almost because cold powder hardly dissolves.

Do not forget about prevention of Phytophthora

Diseased plants and flowers to dry, and ovaries throw. Where tomato take these forces? Tomato, sick phytophthora sacrifices for the sake of the survival of a crop.

What to do:

• avoid dampness;
• avoid plants gelled - cut what is necessary;
• put in the greenhouse open bottles of iodine;
• regularly inspect tomatoes;
• spend time processing.

It would not guarantee absence of Phytophthora. But significantly improve the health and landings reduce the risk of unpleasant disease.

Tomato: Does it need insect pollination?

From a botanical point of view, tomatoes - plants still self-pollinated. On each flower has both male and female characteristics. Pollen, litter, she gets where it needs and there is a long-awaited ovary.

Why is this not happening? To pollen still is wasted and got to the destination, you need a certain "swing" of air around the flower or is it the work of insects. It is noticed that in the greenhouse, which is regularly visited by bees and bumblebees, gardener more often sees young ovaries and almost never gets upset because Netherbloom.

What to do:

• On warm days, open the greenhouse to pollinating insects flew and had a warm draft. Air moves - pollen is transferred.
• Simple, but very productive action will be tapping on the "matured" flowers. For example, such a procedure is necessarily carried out for tomatoes grown in the apartment. Ideal - a walk through the flowers with a brush, but it is enough to knock a couple of times with his finger.

All this will benefit when you consider the following factors unfavorable to the ovaries.

important thing

Insidious humidity - the enemy of healthy pollination. In the greenhouse, it is not uncommon. Due to the high humidity pollen stick together in lumps and becomes unable to perform a direct function. I call this phenomenon "Galicia has begun to flow."

What to do: Again, to ensure optimal greenhouse ventilation without cold drafts. Grow tomatoes and the article was useful? Please click the "Thumbs up!" Also I recommend that you read: Transplant beautiful lilies in the nuances. Why should we worry and when to pitch in onions
