How to Overcome the apical rot on tomatoes
Every year I have a greenhouse of 30 varieties and hybrids of tomatoes (each pair of bushes). Of these, there is an imbalance in the apical rot. For example, there were three similar varieties in the past year, a large yellow sweet. One of them turned out to be resistant to rot apex, ceteris paribus. He stayed in this year.
Who does not know, apical rot is not a disease, but the fact that people called "very hungry". Tomatoes do not have enough calcium. Often the reason is banal underfilling in the heat. Watering - a good recipe. But I have some water exactly the problem is not solved. Checked.
So yesterday, 16 June, a brand new hybrid zakapriznichal. First. But I tomatoes sprinkled with calcium for prevention. And with all the watering well and mulch is. Even the heat was asleep. All is well, but he ...
ran cleaned up calcium nitrate to 120 g per liter barrel 60 (2 g / l - the standard norm for root feeding). And I poured all tomatoes at the rootAbout 1 liter.
It was possible to produce a foliar fertilizer, 1 g / l. It would be much faster to learn. But because I have noticed and vertex rot that did foliar manganese chelate.
Competition calcium and manganese did not hold.
It is important that I had not previously known
Struck by the tomato does not have to be removed from the tree. Bush had been got up to take the calcium out of it. If you absolutely have no will, then shoot.
These tomatoes are the first to gain the color and sugar content. so, if you really want, you can try to cut off the damaged part and eat good. Bush agrees with other tomatikom: give me your calcium, and I'll give sweetness.
If you already have your povybrasyvali affected tomatoes, do not worry. I suggest the best way.
I hope to be useful.
