Tomatoes in July. Prevention apical rot and feeding
In late May and June, fed up tomatoes organic, green fertilizer. In July, particularly at the beginning of mass fruiting, milky ripeness phase and ripening tomatoes, you need to perform certain actions with tomatoes.
feeding
In soil to July it has already finishes supply of nutrients, including potassium and phosphorus, which were made in the spring when planting hole. Most often, these elements are in wood ash. Therefore it is necessary to feed tomatoes ash solution based on 1 glass 10 liters of water. Under the bush should be poured 0.5 liters of solution.
Further feeding in the form of phosphorus-potassium fertilizers are applied every 10 days.
Instead, you can use the ashes of potassium nitrate (potassium nitrate), which can not only make the roots, but also to foliar fertilizer, sprayed plants on the sheet. Consumption - 10-15 g per bucket of water. Under the bush should be poured 0.5-1 liters of solution.
Furthermore, a good fertilizer considered potassium monophosphate, which is effective during a time of growth and formation of tomato fruit. The substance is readily soluble in water.
In July should stop making organic tomatoes under the bushes. Chicken manure and manure is not generally recommended to use, otherwise it will lead to a massive development of green mass, but not fruit.
Prevention apical rot
With a lack of calcium in the soil may be apical rot on tomatoes. Therefore, it is recommended to make the tomatoes by chalk or dolomite flour (1 cup 10 liters of water). Under bush poured 1 liter of solution.
Instead of chalk or dolomite may be used calcium nitrate (15-20 grams per 10 liters of water). For calcium nitrate and magnesium nitrate can be added (as here and potassium nitrate), which will increase the nutrient solution.
Be careful! Excess making dressings in the form of nitrate salts can cause accumulation of nitrate in the fruit. Enough to make such fertilizing 2 times per season.
Watering
It should also reduce the amount of irrigation. In July, the moisture tomatoes need less than in June. Signal to watering - a drooping tops of bushes and folding leaves. When excessive moisture ripened fruits may crack.
