How to patronize tomatoes - video

When you need to start pasynkovaniyu tomatoes

The very procedure of pasynkovaniya very simple- it assumes only a timely removal of "extra" shoots on the bushes of tomatoes. And so the answer to the question, when you need to patronize tomatoes, is very simple - as soon as you notice the appearance of stepchildren. Usually the process of growth of stepchildren begins rather late - from the moment of appearance of the first brushes or even flowers on tomato bushes. Once you notice the appearance of new, "extra" stems, immediately remove them.
Sometimes the extra complexity of pasyningtomatoes - especially if you "started" the process of growing stepsons and did not tear off unnecessary shoots in time - is that it is very difficult to understand which of the pair of stems is "real" and which is superfluous. Determine the stepson can be by location: as a rule, the first stepsons begin to grow immediately from under the first flower brush. This is especially important for tomatoes that are grown in greenhouses - here pasynkovanie is not just a whim of a gardener, it's a must! But for some varieties of tomatoes that are grown in the open ground and generally unpretentious, you can even leave one or two stepsons.
How to patronize tomatoes correctly
First, let's define the periodicity of thisprocedures. Do not think that pasynkovanie conducted only once, on the principle of "tore and forgot." Tomato bushes - especially those that are grown in a greenhouse - require constant attention, and most likely, pasynkovanie will have to be carried out not once, but at least once a week. The more often you inspect tomato bushes and remove the "extra" shoots, the less nutrients the stepsons will have to "take away" from the main stem - and the more will be, eventually, the harvest. It is best to cut off shoots in the morning, and not in the afternoon. Choose for warm and sunny weather, without sudden changes in temperature, rain or hail.

Separately it is necessary to say about pasynkovaniyasemideterminant varieties of tomatoes. There are situations when, after pasynkovaniya it is found that the main stem stopped growing - that is, completed. Therefore, if you have a mostly semi-determinant variety growing on the beds, do not rush to plant shrubs immediately after discovering unnecessary shoots - first make sure that the main stem continues to grow without interference. And sometimes - and in the case with such varieties of tomatoes! - it is possible to leave two, if not three, escape.
