In August, many summer residents are concerned about the question of how to speed up the ripening of tomatoes.
In fact, there is nothing complicated about it. We tell you what to do.
How to speed up the ripening of tomatoes
Firstly, pinching the tops is an effective method. This is relevant for indeterminate varieties.
Secondly, tomatoes growing in a greenhouse need to be provided with a difference between day and night temperatures.
The optimal difference is 8-10 degrees. In southern regions, the greenhouse should be ventilated at night as well.
Thirdly, you can speed up the ripening of tomatoes by adding potassium fertilizers.
As a rule, potassium sulfate is added, less often monophosphate. You can add a complex fertilizer without nitrogen.
