Some gardeners water their tomatoes with cold water and are then surprised by the meager harvest.
Cold water should never be used to water tomatoes, warns Anastasia Kovrizhnykh, an expert at the online publication Belnovosti, an agronomist and landscape designer.
What kind of water to use for watering tomatoes
To water tomatoes and other vegetable crops, it is necessary to use settled and warmed water. The water temperature should be 18-22 degrees.
Tomatoes need to be watered right at the roots; water should not get on the stems and leaves, as this can lead to fungal diseases.
If tomatoes are grown in open ground, it is advisable to water them in the evening.
It is recommended to water greenhouse tomatoes early in the morning, but in cloudy weather it can be done at any time.
The degree of moistening of tomatoes depends on the vegetation period. At the seedling stage and during the fruit ripening period, abundant moistening is necessary.
During the period of formation of the crown above the roots, watering can be reduced. It is also necessary to take into account weather conditions.
