What are the precautions for transplanting tomatoes? A detailed explanation of the latest key points
Tomato cultivation is very common in our country, and when growing tomatoes, it is generally based on raising seedlings and then transplanting. When transplanting, there are many points we need to pay attention to. It is necessary to ensure that the plants do not die after transplanting, and it is also the key to ensuring high tomato yields. Therefore, the transplanting work for tomatoes is very important. So what exactly are the precautions for transplanting tomatoes? Below, the editor will briefly introduce them for everyone. Let's take a look together!
1. Soil disinfection
Most of the time, tomato plant death is caused by soil-borne diseases. For example, late blight at the seedling stage, root rot, basal rot, and so on. Therefore, before transplanting tomatoes, we must first do a good job of soil disinfection. Eliminate bacteria, pests, and so on in the soil to avoid tomatoes being harmed by diseases and pests after transplanting and planting. If the soil is not disinfected, then tomato plants are very prone to various diseases that lead to plant death. Therefore, we should reasonably use agents such as methyl bromide and calcium cyanamide for fumigation, high-temperature greenhouse sealing, and other disinfection work.
2. Disinfection of planting holes
If the soil has not been disinfected, then the simplest way to avoid tomato plant death is crop rotation, grafting, or using disease-resistant varieties. However, the diseases that can be controlled are also limited. Therefore, we can choose to use the method of disinfecting the planting holes, applying an appropriate amount of abamectin, biological bacterial fertilizer, and so on in the holes to control underground pests. If you want to control fungi, then you can apply agents such as Amistar in the holes, and if you want to control bacterial diseases, then the agents are mainly copper hydroxide, copper ammonium complex, and so on.
3. Applying base fertilizer
When growing tomatoes, if you want to increase tomato yields, then when transplanting tomatoes, applying sufficient base fertilizer is very important. It is necessary to ensure a certain amount of base fertilizer, mainly decomposed farmyard manure, combined with an appropriate amount of compound fertilizer and biological bacterial fertilizer, and so on. Improve soil fertility and improve the growth ability of tomato seedlings. If conditions permit, then you can also add an appropriate amount of decomposed soybean cake fertilizer. At the same time, attention should also be paid to supplementing trace elements, such as boron and zinc. These trace elements are very important for the growth of tomatoes.
4. Combining promotion and control
During the seedling stage after tomato transplanting, we should also pay attention to combining promotion and control. If the seedling stage is in an environment with high temperature and strong light, then it is very easy to cause excessive vegetative growth of the seedlings. At this time, we mainly focus on promoting root growth, so we should appropriately suppress the growth of the aboveground part. At the same time, increase the temperature difference between day and night, and reasonably use shade nets, cooling agents, ventilation, and other measures to regulate temperature and light. In the early stage, appropriately maintain drought, do a good job of intertillage and hoeing, promote downward root growth, and ensure normal seedling growth.
