How to grow tomatoes?

Let's look at how to grow tomatoes. Bushes should be trained into 2-3 stems. Excess side shoots are removed. The vegetable does not tolerate temperature fluctuations well, which can reduce yield. Plants need to be supported. During the ripening period, the branches are laden with fruit and experience significant stress. Therefore, they need to be reinforced with supports.

When growing tomatoes, you need to apply fertilizers containing phosphorus and potassium. Plants are susceptible to late blight. To prevent the disease, reduce watering and regularly ventilate the greenhouse. Plants should also be treated with Fitosporin.

Outdoor plants can be susceptible to pests, particularly the Colorado potato beetle. To protect against these pests, treat the bushes with Prestige and Zubr.

If tomatoes are grown on a balcony, they are usually not susceptible to diseases or pest attacks.
