What is the reason for the cracking of the latest tomato?

Tomato fruit cracking is a common disease at present. Many farmers report that the tomatoes they grow are inexplicably cracked, and they don't know what the reason is. In fact, the cracking fruit will generally be caused by the following reasons, the following together to understand these reasons.

1. Temperature instability

Too much temperature change is very easy to cause cracking fruit, whether it is open-air or greenhouse will have such a situation. Open-air often occurs in the seasonal alternate time period, greenhouse due to the release of more than not controlled well caused. When the temperature is unstable, the tomato skin will become very brittle, in a tight state, not as elastic as normal, when the tension can not naturally appear cracking fruit situation.

2. Weather changes

Weather changes can also be a common cause, such as prolonged drought and then sudden rain that lasts for a while. This is because in the process of growth, the tomato peel and pulp growth rate ratio was broken, originally the two are balanced growth, this is the pulp growth rate far more than the peel, finally naturally cracked fruit. This happens mostly during the rainy season.

3. Transition with fertilizer

Fertilizer for tomatoes is not the more the better, need the right amount, such as nitrogen fertilizer and the like will easily lead to tomato cracking. Nitrogen fertilizer mainly promotes the flesh growth of tomatoes. When nitrogen fertilizer is used too much, it will cause the flesh to grow too fast, while nitrogen fertilizer is not obvious for promoting the growth of pericarp, and finally it will cause the pericarp to keep the flesh and then form cracked fruit. When you feel the skin of some tomatoes is more compact, you should be careful about cracking the fruit.

4. Improper medication

Medication is also a factor that easily leads to fruit cracking. Tomatoes often encounter many diseases every day, and growers generally use drugs to solve them. When the drug concentration is too high, it will lead to fruit cracking. Some concentrations of drugs inhibit the growth of the peel, even causing the peel to shrink and lose elasticity, but the flesh does not shrink, and finally the peel is stretched to the limit by the flesh when shrinking. So when you take medicine, you must follow the instructions to get rid of the configuration.

The above are some of the reasons for tomato cracking. You can see whether the cracking fruit planted by yourself is caused by the above reasons. If so, it is best to adjust your planting method appropriately to prevent cracking fruit.
