How to avoid tomato flowers and ovaries falling off: don’t be late with treatment
Every gardener who has at least once tried to get a harvest of ripe and tasty tomatoes from his garden knows what a truly impressive number of obstacles one can encounter along the way.
According to the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , one of the possible problems is the falling off of ovaries and flowers.
But we wouldn’t be us if we didn’t find a way to avoid this misfortune.
We are talking about boric acid, which is used to improve the fruit set of tomatoes.
However, gardeners who tried this preparation were disappointed – the treatment did not work.
Let us hasten to explain why this could happen.
It turns out that the procedure should be carried out as soon as the first buds are noticed on the plant - in this case, the boron will begin to act just at the moment when the ovaries begin to form.
Another important point: spraying with boric solution should be done not on the flowers, but in the lower part of the bushes.
