The misunderstanding of the latest Tomato Leaf picking

Tomatoes are well-known vegetables, whether raw or cooked are particularly delicious, market demand is also relatively high, so there are more people planting. While planting tomatoes is often encountered in picking leaves, but many in picking leaves are wrong, the following together to understand it.

1. Excessive leaf picking

When plucking leaves for tomatoes, many people like to remove all the branches and leaves below the fruit. In fact, this practice is wrong. After removing all the leaves, the tomato has no way to carry out photosynthesis, which will cause insufficient photosynthetic products. The final result is that the fruit is small and deformed, and the yield and quality cannot go up. There will also lead to competition for nutrients between tomatoes, roots and fruits compete for nutrients, which is extremely unfavorable to the growth and development of tomatoes.

2. Early leaf picking

Tomato leaf picking is time, tomato leaf age is generally in 15-50 days photosynthesis is relatively strong, so generally wait until the leaves more than 50 days after the timely removal. Instead of removing the leaves 50 days before, when the photosynthesis of the leaves is strong, if the leaves are removed too early, the tomato will not be able to synthesize the nutrients needed for fruit growth and development, and with the shortage of nutrients, the fruit will stop developing.

3, see yellow pick

Many farmers choose to remove leaves, the first choice is to remove yellow leaves, in fact, this practice is not correct. Yellowing tomato leaves is caused by many reasons, such as improper watering and fertilization will lead to yellowing leaves, or plant roots suffered damage, leaves can not absorb nutrients will also turn yellow. When the leaves turn yellow, they can be restored by spraying green protection solution, so that the leaves can be restored to normal leaf color without removing them.

4. Remove insect leaves

When removing leaves, in addition to seeing yellow leaves removed, many people will also remove all leaves with wormholes. Especially when whitefly and leaf miner appear, they will remove all the leaves that they nibble on fruit, so that more leaves are removed, which is also undesirable. Chemical treatments for pests can be selected without removing all the leaves, just removing the leaves that are seriously harmful.

5. Remove the shading leaves

In addition to like to remove yellow leaves and leaves with insects, many friends also like to remove the leaves that block light, many people think that if not removed, it will affect the fruit coloring. In fact, it is not necessary to remove all of them. You can adjust the temperature in the greenhouse. The fruit is not colored because of the leaves.
