In the process of growing tomatoes, summer residents have to deal with a truly impressive number of problems, and the refusal of plants to process ovaries is far from the last one.

According to the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , a preparation called "Ovary" can solve the problem in the case of greenhouse plants.

But there are situations when he is also powerless, and there are several reasons for this.

Perhaps the most common factor due to which it is not possible to see the formed ovaries on tomato bushes is the unsuitable temperature for the plants.

So, if the air in the greenhouse warms up to 50-60 degrees, then most pollinating insects simply die.

In addition, the presence of viral diseases can also lead to such sad consequences. Their clear signs are yellow spots on the leaves and deformed foliage.

In such situations, there are a lot of buds, but when they bloom, they are not yellow, but green with yellow transitions. The fruits are curved, rare and empty inside.

Diseased plants, as unfortunate as it may be, will have to be destroyed by burning.
