Tomato diseases

Puzatiki tomato bushes need urgent treatment if signs of blossom end rot appear on the fruit - a brown spot in the upper part of the fruit. Infected fruits must be destroyed and burned.

Preparations for treating bushes against blossom end rot:

1. Calcium chloride.
2. Fitosporin-M.

Prepare a solution from water (10 l), one ampoule of calcium chloride and one teaspoon of Fitosporin-M. Treat (spray) the bushes in the morning. It is permissible to spray at an air temperature of at least 15 °C.

Aftercare during cultivation

Irrigation features:

1. Garden beds are watered according to the principle: the hotter it is, the more abundant and frequent the irrigation. Water with water that has settled in containers, being careful not to get on the shoots and leaves. Cold water can cause plants to shed flowers and ovaries due to stress;
2. In greenhouse buildings, bushes are moistened once every 4-5 days;
3. Irrigation is combined with loosening the soil. If mulch is laid in tree trunk circles and between rows, then the soil is not loosened. If compost or humus is used for mulching, the plants receive nutrition and moisture will remain in the ground longer.

Bush formation

When the area for planting tomato seedlings is limited, the bush is formed into 1 shoot, cutting off all the stepsons. Stumps are set aside from them (up to 1.5-1.8 cm). According to reviews and characteristics of the Puzata Khata tomato, when there is a large bed, the bush is led into 2 stems, leaving a side shoot under the lower raceme. Before this point, all the leaves on the shoot are torn off so that the fruits ripen faster under the rays of the sun.

A garter to the supports will protect the shoots from breaking: large-fruited tomatoes cannot be supported by fragile branches without help. Therefore, during ripening, the brushes must be fixed to pegs or a trellis.

At a shoot height of 150-180 cm, pinch the top, limiting further growth of the stem.

Adding nutrition to plants

Features of fertilizing:

1. Once every 10-15 days, fertilize the bushes with a solution of mullein, bird droppings, and herbal infusion;
2. During flowering and fruiting, fertilize with solutions that contain phosphorus and potassium, as well as other macroelements;
3. The productivity of Puzata Khata tomatoes depends on the regular application of fertilizers (mineral and organic).

Diseases and pests

The best protection against diseases will be preventive measures:

• ventilation of the greenhouse structure;
• dusting with ash;
• planting marigolds, mustard, garlic, marigolds in the beds.

When pests or the first symptoms of a disease appear, the plants are treated with:

1. Potassium permanganate solution;
2. Epin, Fitosporin;
3. Among chemical preparations, insecticides are used to kill insects;
4. Biofungicides are also used, especially during fruiting.

Pest and disease control

Most tomato diseases occur due to errors in care. The most common diseases are discussed in detail below. According to reviews from summer residents, tomatoes suffer little illness and are resistant to late blight, rot, and cladosporiosis.

Blackleg

Dangerous fungal disease. It mainly affects seedlings and young immature plants. In most cases, the pathogen is introduced with poorly treated soil. If the growing conditions are met, the fungus does not manifest itself in any way. But when humidity rises, the fungus wakes up and begins to multiply rapidly. As a result, the root collar of the seedlings is damaged and they die.

Affected plants look as if someone has chewed them off near the surface of the soil. A photo of typical lesions is presented below. Fungicides are used to control blackleg. But in the phase of active spread of the disease, they are almost useless. The best protection against blackleg is timely prevention.

Pests

Even if the growing conditions are observed, in some unfavorable years, tomatoes can suffer from insect pests.

A small sucking pest, depending on the species it can be black or green. It feeds on the juice of young shoots and leaves. With severe damage, plants begin to experience nutritional deficiency, resulting in the shedding of leaves and ovaries. Garden ants contribute to the active spread of aphids. Therefore, the fight should begin with their destruction. Insecticides used for treatment:

They are bred in strict accordance with the attached instructions. In most cases, a single treatment is sufficient. In case of severe infection, tomatoes are sprayed twice with an interval of 10 days.

Whitefly

Small sucking pest. Actively damages all parts of plants. Due to its very small size, its spread is noticed only at the stage of severe infection. Seedlings and adult plants can suffer from whitefly. To destroy the insect, systemic insecticides are used: Aktara, Komandor, Tanrek. Depending on the degree of infection, treatment is carried out 2-3 times.
