It is possible to save plants damaged by hail, but you need to act quickly.
We tell you how to help plants after hail.
How to Save Hail Damaged Plants
First of all, we remove all broken parts of plants from the beds. We carefully straighten out the plants nailed to the ground.
Broken tomatoes and cucumbers can produce side shoots. If there is no chance of salvation, remove and plant new ones with a short growing season.
Be sure to hill up the washed-out roots, loosen the soil. Act very carefully so as not to damage the roots.
Next, we treat the plants with a growth stimulator and add nitrogen fertilizers, for example, urea (a tablespoon per 10 liters of water).
It is also necessary to carry out treatment against fungal diseases.
