Often, summer residents face a problem: tomatoes do not have time to turn red, and insidious rot literally devours the fruit.
Due to the disease, the basket with the harvest becomes 30-50% lighter. Such a shortfall upsets gardeners who had managed to set themselves up for an excellent result.
Some believe that the pathogen is a bacterium. Therefore, they use pharmaceutical preparations to stop the rotting of new fruits.
However, according to another version, the problem is a calcium deficiency. The situation can be corrected with two simple steps.
First, tomatoes need to be watered. Lack of moisture is also associated with calcium deficiency, so tomatoes should not suffer from drought.
After the soil has been moistened, weeds are used as mulching material. The grass will cover the soil from the sun, so the moisture will not evaporate the next day.
Secondly, you need to add calcium fertilizer. After that, the tomatoes will gradually recover, the problem with rot will be solved.
