How do roots do with bacteria? Continuation of the experiment with early tomatoes
You will be the judges. So far, one question: is there a difference in the root system of tomatoes
- with watering with plain water
- and watering with bacteria?
There won't be a lot of photos, this is a preliminary trial.
The tops are also compared between times, not only the roots.
So, not even three weeks have passed since the germination of my early tomatoes. They have already mastered two hundred gram cups by their roots! Today I transplanted them into half-liter bags.
Four glasses with odd numbers were poured over with water, and four (even) cups with a solution of Fofatovit, Kaliyvit, Azotovit. Once a week. So far 2 watering with bacteria turned out, today the third when picking (more precisely, transshipment).
Below are the roots of K1 when watered with plain water:
And here are seedlings with bacteria (K2):
I would say that the root is better developed here, and the ground part is inferior to K1, but this is debatable. What do you think? Here are the roots of K2:
Another couple, both with the addition on January 12:
D1 has a slight phosphorus starvation (purple color on the lower part of the leaves, however, the roots when watered with plain water cannot be called bad:
So, there is hope that the tested bacteria have a good effect on the seedlings, we still need to observe.
In general, the picture is as follows:
Watering on the left, bacteria on the right.
The same tomatoes, top view:
In the next article, an additional experiment with biohumus (the same day, January 26).
Joined the idea of growing early tomatoes blogger Flower Soul. She has a different tactic, she has already sown a couple of early tomatoes.
She responded to this one appeal. Have you planted your pair of early tomatoes?
I would be grateful for your subscription and communication :)
