How to pour the tomatoes in the heat, and why
Drought slows the development of tomato. Below I'll show you how.
Do not water the tomatoes - one of the bad advice. No less harmful - watered infrequently. If the person who is advising, close ground water or soil - clay, I understand. The roots of the tomato may be up to 2 m in depth grow, to find there the water. But we have to this water at least 60 m. If I do not drink your tomatoes will not even stress, and death.
I liked the Israeli norm: DURING THE HEATin the greenhouse 1 L under a bush every day. And I do in June. In August and 2 liters per day at the time of my giants will.
Otherwise, the consequences would be such uneven watering in the heat:
- Tomatoes could not fill
- Ovary and flowers have fallen
- When watering to cracks appeared on the fruit
- Blossom rot Most varieties would be ensured
I stress that we are talking about tomatoes have got stronger and wait for the heat. When planting I pour 5 liters of water per well, then I do not water the week.
I have a semblance of black earth and clay beneath it. Who sand, obviously rate should be increased. Who does the clay, to reduce. And I have hay mulched tomato, if you have bare earth, too, need more water. Liter per plant every day is a standard, it suits me. And you adjust.
Underdeveloped tomatikam I give less water. I know from experience that they will recover and will enter into force.
Bad experience
Look for tomatoes that once were severely dehydrated.
Leftists are sown in late January to early harvest. The plan was this: cut the top of the head and keep in the trunk 2. When cutting swordplay and development will slow down, stress! And it happened one more slowdown, due to a temporary drought.
Here is how it was. For seedlings, I come once a week. And one does not settle with watering so much that I have been waiting for-the-very drooping bushes. Afraid that had flower buds wither. On the one hand there is the bottom of the bush. That is how it was partly withered away to its flower buds. But in general, all the bushes were able to fruit.
Turned tomatoes not far outstripping the March planting. But their fifth month! That's what makes untimely watering.
I will explain that the tip of the cut to strengthen the root. It turned out differently. I planted with common roots. Pro tip method then write.
Such an opinion
There is an opinion that does not matter if tomatoes overhang leaves as cloth. I hung up last season (some individuals). And, really, nothing. Only fruiting slowdown was!
Have you noticed that they never get tomatoes in the terms specified in the bag with the seeds? The main reason is improper watering! If you do not care about timing, and tomatoes can be watered-cloth.
Do you agree? Very interested in your observations on this subject.
