If you don't remove the lower leaves from tomatoes, they will start to get sick with late blight.
And if you start removing leaves in time, this disease can be avoided.
The plant itself also spends all its energy on growing these leaves.
No more than three leaves can be removed in one manipulation.
This is a great stress for the tomato, which can cause it to become diseased.
That is, be sure to remove the leaves lying on the ground, and then gradually remove the lower leaves.
The leaves located on the north side are removed in parts.
Remove sterile shoots. There should be no leaves on the stem at a distance of 30 cm from the ground.
So, remove the leaves twice a week, removing three leaves at a time. If you notice fungal infection on your tomatoes, remove more leaves.
Perform manipulation with a sharp, disinfected scalpel or simply break them off with your hands. Treat the cut area with peroxide.
