How to understand that tomatoes lack boron: the main signs are named - a note for the summer resident

For full development, tomatoes must receive all the necessary nutrition.

Only thanks to this will there be a chance to get a decent harvest.

One of the key points is boron, notes the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", scientist agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .

What signs will tell you that there is a lack of a substance?

Ovaries

If you notice that the ovaries do not want to form, then you should analyze your fertilizers: it is quite possible that you forgot to add a sufficient amount of boron.

If there is not enough of it, the ovaries simply do not form.

Flowering can be quite promising.

Stepchildren

But in this case the situation is the opposite: the ovaries do not want to form, but there will be a large number of stepsons. It is always worth paying attention to this point.

Diseases and insects

It is important to note that a lack of boron does not have the best effect on the health of tomatoes. Therefore, plants begin to get sick more often and are more susceptible to pest attacks.
