Tomatoes Will Grow Crooked If You Make These 4 Mistakes: Reasons for Failure and How to Fix It

Tomatoes grow in a strange shape, or, more simply put, crooked, not because this is the variety.

Deformed, crooked or otherwise shaped fruits are only suitable for salads or other processing. But it also happens that due to indentations and folds, half of the fruit has to be thrown away.

Let's figure out why such vegetables grow and what needs to be done to stop it. Here are the main reasons.

Reason one

Fluctuations in day and night temperatures during the emergence of ovaries have a direct relationship to the deformation of fruits. The same thing happens with poor lighting or if seedlings are planted prematurely.

Reason two

Uneven watering, which leads to either high humidity or lack of moisture. In the greenhouse, ventilation must be provided, the lower leaves must be torn off before the first ovary appears. On average, watering is carried out once every 3-4 days.

Reason three

Uneven feeding, shortage, overdose, passion for folk feeding instead of professional supplements. In order not to make a mistake in timing, you need to carry out feeding no earlier than 10 days after transplantation with an interval of 1 time per week.

Reason four

Such problems can be caused by collecting seeds from hybrids, large fruits, or those purchased in a store or market.

What to do

To prevent the development of ugly fruits, many people remove the “double” flower.

If ovaries appear, and unevenness and deep grooves are noticeable on them, then such a fruit also needs to be removed.
