Mode "Dry-watering." Is it like tomatoes during ripening
Faced with two points of view. One, that the soil in tomatoes should always be kept moist, and air dry. Hence the idea of drip irrigation. The other, that any time is good development mode "Dry-watering." I will only talk about the maturation period, and then I will write a lot :)
Tomatoes are my favorites. A love of teaching is better than any teacher. I'll tell you how I see, feel, I understand what and why tomatoes need on the part of the water supply.
Norms can not be. It must be the weather and see, and on plants. So, what I got. Be patient, it will be interesting, without the alphabet in any way.
What happens when a mode"Dry-watering"
- Water is especially needed for the filling of tomato, for fetal growth
- With water coming to them nutrients, top to bottom, that is, the roots need water leaves the top, and those already in turn, feed fruit. It is the job of the biological pump.
- Each brush upper sheet 2 fed.
- When the fruit is poured, and feels that the water is less and less, he begins to work on stockpiling, it is delicious. Partially performs work sheet. Who breaks the leaves, does not notice that the ripening tomatoes have suffered damage at the same time. I breadwinners will not be denied.
- If the moisture is not enough already critical, tomato prepared for the worst, so to speak, will open her mouth widely, and will ask Bush to drink it.
- Pouring in this time when it's mouth wide open from thirst, we just fill in poor fruit water. He abruptly poured, does not stand up, and peel bursts.
For someone more intuitive way
On the road, there is an unwritten rule: make clear their intentions. I really like it! Turn you want to slow down, overtake or drive fast. The movement should know what to expect from you. Then accidents will be much less.
And the fruits of the tomato have to know when they will get water. Not when you suddenly want to pour and when they definitely want to have a drink. On the road, like when a member of the movement wants to turn, it is necessary to consider what the rest of the cars. It does not take into account, as a minimum, a kiss with another car. In tomato mini-crash - fruit cracking under heavy irrigation. There are shedding tomatoes, flowers, ovaries, drying of the leaves, the death of a bush.
Based on this understanding, in the open field tomatoes to the heavy rain, I was cleaning. Even not very mature.
The dangers of heavy irrigation
Pathogenic fungi are very fond of tomatoes, and are waiting in the wings in the soil or are in the air, waiting for the tomatoes will weaken and you can eat them and multiply.
They especially nice cold damp weather. And then in the evening a man comes and pours ripened tomatoes. Then there was the cold greenhouse covers. Everything! celebration of life in fungal diseases started.
Fruit-bearing plant is weakened, the tomato is not an exception. I water only warm water and try to keep the greenhouse open all summer, adult tomato is better than meeting with pathogens.
What to do
If the watering time, pour a lot of water on the bush. If you missed the point, fractional watering. After a couple of hours. Or cook the tomato paste of cracked fruit ...
During the period of "sushi" My tomatoes have a rest from the raids of the hordes of fungal, quietly gaining strength, taste. After watering grow, fueled.

A few words about the drip irrigation
But what about the progressive drip irrigation? Fungal diseases there are no problems. Tomatoes turn out wonderful. In my experience. "Drought-watering" - a risky technology. However, it is justified by many gardeners.
We were running a moderate stress tomatoes. Mysterious useful thing, forcing the plant to work harder!
And how do you water the tomatoes?
