How not to water

The sprinkler method of watering tomatoes is not suitable. For example, you should not install irrigation systems for this in the morning and water the beds during the day on top of the leaves.

If there is also extreme heat, then under the scorching rays of the sun the drops will cause burns on the leaves.

If watering techniques are regularly violated, seedlings may die, and after burns, the risk of developing late blight only increases.

The correct technique for watering tomatoes is to water them at the roots.

It is best to use a watering can with minimal splashing of water.
