Among the pests that tomatoes are afraid of are Colorado potato beetles, aphids, wireworms, spider mites and slugs. Parasites eat plant organs and lay larvae on leaves and stems. Various biological and chemical preparations are used to combat it.

The nuances of growing in open ground and in a greenhouse

In the greenhouse, the soil is cultivated in the fall. It is recommended to disinfect the soil and structure using fungicides. Fungicides are a group of drugs that prevent the occurrence of diseases.

In addition to the soil, also treat organic plant residues. “Quadris” is recognized as an excellent remedy. This is a complex remedy that protects Raspberry Ring, powdery mildew, and white spotting.

When growing tomatoes in open ground, pay attention to the “neighbors” of the crop. It is not recommended to plant tomatoes next to potatoes or other varieties of tomatoes. If one bush becomes infected, the likelihood of infecting all the others increases. Experienced farmers also plant basil near tomatoes. This plant improves the taste of Raspberry Ring.
