The overall tomato harvest depends on the presence of high-quality ovaries.

Sometimes we notice an unpleasant picture: lush and active flowering of vegetables does not lead to the appearance of ovaries.

However, there is always an explanation for such a phenomenon, reveals the secrets of the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", scientist-agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .

What are the main reasons?

Humidity

Many people worry that tomatoes will not have enough moisture to develop properly. This is a very common misconception.

Plants should be watered carefully. This procedure is carried out early in the morning. It is also important to mulch the crop. This will prevent the problem of high humidity.

Forgot about pinching out the side shoots

If you do not carry out this necessary procedure, the tomato will use all its energy to form green mass. As a result, the vegetable will not bear fruit.
