This is a common problem that can be disappointing for gardeners who dream of harvesting a bountiful crop of juicy and sweet tomatoes.

The main reason for the appearance of empty flowers is poor pollination.

Pollen is usually transferred by wind, insects, or simply by shaking the plants. But if the weather is too hot or cold, the flowers may not be pollinated.

Another reason is a lack of nutrients. Therefore, it is important to apply fertilizers regularly.

Moreover, the problem is also provoked by excessive application of fertilizers.

As a result, an imbalance of nutrients in the soil occurs.

Diseases can also lead to the plant's inability to bear fruit.

It is important to inspect and treat your plantings periodically to avoid problems.

If you want to get excellent fruiting year after year, you need to remember the simple rules of care and choose varieties that are more resistant to diseases.
