Growing conditions are a key factor determining the quality of the future harvest.

Often, summer residents face a problem: tomatoes grow small, dull and tasteless.

The cause is not always in the fertilizers. Often the problem is related to the conditions in which the tomatoes are growing.

There are factors that can easily deprive the harvest. This is especially true for tomatoes that grow in a greenhouse.

Unfavorable conditions for tomatoes

There is a temperature range within which tomatoes produce an excellent harvest. But beyond the normal range, tomatoes do not set fruit.

So, the optimal indicators are within the range of +15 …+30 °C. If the temperature is higher and the humidity is off the charts, then you can be left without a harvest.

Of course, in cold and damp conditions there is no talk of any fruit setting. These are favorable conditions for the development of diseases.

If the weather is very hot and it is hard to breathe in the greenhouse, then you need to create more comfortable conditions for the plants.

It is ideal when they are shaded from above and conditions for ventilation are created on the sides.
