In the summer, the main vegetable on the table are tomatoes. Well, what lunch or breakfast without delicious salad from tomatoes? Taste qualities, as well as the time of ripening of this vegetable, directly depend on that in which climatic belt it is grown and, of course, what kind of grade. If we talk about the regions where summer is very short, then we can say about the obligation of growing the culture under consideration in the greenhouses. Let's talk about how to pruning tomatoes in the greenhouse.
The need for trimming
Immediately I would like to note that behind the cultures that are grown in greenhouse conditions, it is necessary to care for a special way. This necessity arises due to:
- high air humidity
- closed, poorly ventilated room, etc.
- high temperature indicators
It is worth noting that precisely because of the factors listed above often in the greenhouses are developing fungal diseases. In the daytime day, when the sun rises high in the sky, the temperature indicators achieve excessively high marks, which is also negatively affected by the seedlings and its future development.
In such conditions, seedlings require special care and should not forget about such a procedure as trimming tomatoes. We will understand more about it, why is it needed.
The underlisted operation of the trimming is considered to be agricultural reception, and necessarily. It can be said that this process is a way to switch all the plants for growing large and juicy fruits. The procedure under consideration is the removal of some leaves, as well as shoots, but in the case of shoots, the operation is called step-down. Despite the difference in the names, the purpose of these both processes is the same.
It should be noted that for obtaining a good harvest, the garden should be able to do both very well, and more importantly, right.
Causes of the need for the processes under consideration:
- improving ventilation crown crown
- accelerating the process of photosynthesis
to accelerate crop maturation - increase the fruitful period
- preventing the emergence of various diseases, including fungus
What leaves need to be deleted?
It should be noted that tomatoes belong to light-affiliated cultures, because good photosynthesis ensures timely pouring of fruits, their nutrition, as well as a color change. For this reason, the gardener is simply obliged to plant seedlings far away from each other, so that everyone has enough space for the development of sunlight (so that one bush is not in the shade of a neighboring bush). Read more Consider the question - what leaves are first and foremost on the stems of tomatoes:
- If there are already yellowed leaves on the bush (and therefore they are old), then they become the first to delete. They are not easy to delete them, but it is necessary to do it, because such elements are no longer performing any functions (neither protective or feed). Among other things, it is on old sheets that the fungus and other diseases are most often started, which quickly apply over the entire surface of the plant.
- Experienced gardeners assure everyone to remove the lower sheets on the stems of tomatoes. If we are talking about tomatoes planted in soil, and not tied, this is an erroneous opinion, because in fact the lower sheets are support for such bushes. If we are talking about greenhouse tomatoes, then this recommendation will be appropriate here, because the tomatoes in the greenhouse are tested, and therefore, they do not need this kind of support.
- It is necessary to remove the lower green leaves in this case so that the sun falls on the roar part of the stem, because without it normal development and photosynthesis can not happen.
If we generalize all the above, we can conclude that it is not easy to cut the leaves on the stems of the culture under consideration, but it is necessary, because the process of ripening fruits will depend on it, and their quantity, in general, the harvest that you will be able to collect During the fruitful period in a culture. After you are taking tomatoes in the greenhouse. You can already begin to circumcise tomatoes (notice exactly circumcision). It is not worth tearing the yellow leaves with a stem with your hands, fingers, to do it very carefully and with the help of either scissors or a knife.
From the correctness of the cutting of the leaves on the trunks of tomatoes will depend on the end result of your efforts, that is, the yield of culture. Each Ogorodnik must remember that step-in is also an integral process of formation of the Tomato bush, it is also necessary to understand that step-down can be formed both alone and three trunks on the bush. Remember it is necessary that the maximum and at the same time the optimal number of branches on the trunk, it is -3 pieces. Hourging is also carried out according to some rules that everyone needs to know who is taken from this process.
The process of trimming leaves on the trunk is very simple. If you know how to do it right, so if you got acquainted with the above information carefully, and understood the essence of the process under consideration, then you can safely take the knife or scissors in the hands and start cropping the leaves.
Never be afraid to experiment and try something new, because only in this way you can achieve the maximum result and get a good harvest, the main thing is to follow all the recommendations and rules.
