What do I do if the leaves of tomatoes are curled like a boat. Reasons and how to quickly fix the situation

This problem is typical for the nightshade family. How to deal with it? First of all, you need to find out the reason. There are several factors influencing this problem. Having found out what the essence of the matter is, we can eliminate it.

If the leaves of tomatoes begin to curl up, there is a reason to be wary. It is worth taking urgent action. By correcting our mistakes, we will save our harvest.

Violation of agricultural technology

1. At elevated temperatures, the sheet plates become less elastic and curl inward. The earth must be loosened and watered. Mulching the ground with straw, dried grass, will prevent the soil from overheating, retain moisture. Be sure to ventilate the greenhouse. Eliminate the drying out of the soil, the formation of a dense crust.

2. Excessive moisture also affects tomatoes. To evaporate excess moisture, the plates are twisted. For us, this means revising the irrigation regime. Watering abundantly does not mean that the plant needs to be flooded.

3. An abundance of nitrogen can also cause leaves to curl. An excess of nitrogenous fertilizers is easy to determine by the thickening of the stem (the plant is fattening). In this case, phosphorus-potassium supplements will help. Wood ash copes well with this problem. Or any mineral supplements containing phosphorus and potassium.

4. An overgrown bush with many stepchildren is not able to provide food for the entire green mass, which leads to foliage curling. It is advisable to remove side shoots in the morning. If you remove too many stepchildren on a bush at one time, then the tomatoes will experience stress, which will lead to curling of the leaves.

5. Root damage can occur during transplanting or loosening. If after a week the leaves do not straighten out, then pour with solutions that stimulate the formation of the root system.
