I. growth environment requirements

1. Soil: tomatoes do not have high requirements for soil and can be planted in both the south and the north. However, high-quality tomatoes are thick soils that need fertile, convenient drainage and small nutrient loss, and sandy soils with good stability after compaction can also be selected.

two。 Temperature: tomatoes prefer a warm environment, and the most suitable temperature for growth and development is 24 to 26 degrees. If the temperature is too low or too high, the tomato will stop growing.

3. Moisture: tomatoes are afraid of both drought and waterlogging and need good drainage of the soil. But tomatoes should have a uniform supply of water, neither too much nor too little.

4. Lighting: tomatoes prefer light and grow sturdily in an environment with plenty of light. If there is not enough light, the tomatoes will blossom less or even drop fruit.

Then you can transplant tomatoes. It can be planted in spring and autumn in the south and suitable for spring in the north.

III. Fertilization management

Tomatoes can use artificial fertilizer at the seedling stage, and phosphate fertilizer can be applied if you want to promote flower development. When tomatoes grow leaves, potassium dihydrogen phosphate or urea can be applied on the page to prevent virus damage. Spraying boric acid solution during flowering improves the quality of tomatoes. During the tomato fruit growth period, 0.2% to 0.5% potassium dihydrogen phosphate and 0.2% Mel 0.3% urea should be selected for mixed fertilization.

4. Regular pruning

Tomatoes begin to be pruned after growing stems and leaves, usually by interrupting and pinching. The lateral buds growing from the stem roots should be cut off to prevent the invasion of diseases and insect pests. When the tomato grows the first flower, the other side branches should be trimmed off in order to ensure the nutrition of the flower. After the tomato fruit, the main head at the top of the fruit should also be pinched off to control the growth of the plant.

5. Diseases and insect pests

Late blight is a common disease of tomato, which is mainly caused by poor land drainage, too dense planting and poor light transmittance, so it is necessary to strengthen field management, timely drainage and improve ventilation and light transmission. If aphids are found in tomatoes, 10% imidacloprid wettable powder 2000ml 3000 times, or 50% aldicarb 2000 mi 3000 times, can be sprayed to get rid of insects.

The cultivation of tomatoes is very simple, and the requirements for the environment are not high. They can be used as potted ornamental plants or large-scale plants. If you want to grow tomatoes, you can plant them according to these daily management and techniques.
