Incorrect watering can lead to a serious deterioration in the quality of the tomatoes grown.

Excess moisture can cause the fruits on tomato bushes to become watery and tasteless.

In addition, due to the large amount of water, the garden crop becomes much more vulnerable to various diseases.

Due to a lack of moisture, the plant will have difficulty absorbing important compounds and microelements.

In such conditions, serious problems with fruit formation may arise.
