How many types of tomato fruit cracking are there? Remedies for fruit cracking in large and small tomatoes
Tomato fruit cracking: how to remedy it? Do you want to know? If so, then let's take a look together!
The phenomenon of tomato fruit cracking can be divided into four types: radial cracking, concentric cracking, compound radial and concentric cracking, and irregular side cracking.
A. It is advisable to choose varieties with slight fruit cracking.
B. For the planting soil layer, it is advisable to choose deep sandy loam and loam.
C. Keep the soil moderately moist and reduce excessive differences between dry and wet soil
Q: I personally grow 3 kinds of tomatoes at home (Cherry Tomato, Black Persimmon, and Momotaro), 10 plants each, and I would like to ask how to make them grow well!!
As for the water requirements of tomatoes, because the stems and leaves above ground are lush, water evaporation is high and a large amount of water is needed, but before the flowering stage, too much water makes the root system prone to rot, or the lower leaves turn yellow. During the fruiting stage, full irrigation is required, and the soil must not be alternately dry and wet, otherwise it easily causes fruit cracking. Water immediately on the day of planting, and afterward adjust the irrigation timing according to the degree of soil dryness and moisture, about once every 10-14 days. If grown in pots, it is most appropriate to water when the surface soil is slightly dry, and water is sufficient when water overflows from the bottom of the pot.
For Cherry Tomatoes, adopt a 6-truss pruning model. About 3 weeks after planting, keep the first branch below the first truss, and when the other side branches grow to 20 cm, select and keep 4 more branches as fruiting branches.
Large-fruited tomatoes adopt single-stem or double-stem pruning, that is, keep the main stem or another stem, and remove the remaining side buds.
The row-to-plant spacing for small-fruited tomatoes is 75-150*60 cm, and for large-fruited tomatoes it is 60-75*45-50 cm.
It is highly likely to be leafminer, but an image is still needed to give a definite answer.
Yes. The finer the spray droplets and the more uniform the spraying, the more the pesticide effectiveness can be increased. Please pay attention to these two points when using a garden spray bottle.
The recommended amounts of nitrogen, phosphoric anhydride, and potassium oxide for edible tomatoes are 250:200:180 (kg/hectare). Except that phosphate fertilizer is applied entirely as the base fertilizer the first time, nitrogen fertilizer and potassium fertilizer are applied as topdressing about once every 20 days. Taiwan Fertilizer No. 43 has a ratio of 1:1:1. In the later stage, potassium deficiency is likely, so it is still better to apply single-element fertilizers, which have a better effect. Urea can be applied directly without adding water. Please calculate the application amount according to the number of plants and the area.
