How to increase the stress tolerance of a tomato when cultivated in the open field
When grown outdoors, the tomato must be borne in mind that the Bashkir climate is very unpredictable. Therefore, you need to use all possible means to reduce the risks of losing tomato yield.
- One of the ways to preserve crops is to increase the resistance of vegetable bushes to temperature fluctuations and changes in air humidity. Means that help improve plant immunity are biostimulants. They are divided into two groups:
- biologically active substances and stimulants of natural origin;
- chemically synthesized biologically active substances and stimulants.
The first group includes: yeast and milk supplements, as well as herbal tincture.
How to prepare yeast feeding for seedlings
For varieties of open ground tomatoes in Bashkiria, a strong immunity and a quick return of the harvest are very important. Yeast feeding is a natural source of trace elements, proteins and amino acids for seedlings.
To prepare a yeast mixture, you need to take 0.050 kilograms of yeast per 5 liters of warm unboiled water and mix them well until a homogeneous solution is formed. This mixture should be placed in a warm, dark place, kept there for a day, and when it ferments, pour it over each bush under the root. Seedlings after such feeding start new leaves faster, take root better, turn green. And if the seedlings have been frozen, they rejuvenate and the bush develops again without loss of yield.
The second group includes biostimulants, for example, Epin-Extra (epibrassinolide), Vitalizer NV-101, Zircon, Fitosporin-M.
To help the newly planted seedlings take root better, you can water them with one of the growth stimulants.
- Also, a mandatory point is the correct fertilization of seedlings at the initial stage of development and at the stage of a fruiting bush.
It is important that the first watering of the seedlings falls on the 7-10th day. During this watering, nitrogen fertilizers are applied, and the next top dressing is done with potash fertilizers.
