Some people are still skeptical about iodine when it comes to growing tomatoes.

However, there is no need to be categorical: the experience of many summer residents suggests that the product clearly deserves attention.

In what cases are there indications for the use of iodine?

Prevention

Since iodine is an antiseptic, its main task will be to provide a preventive effect. Its timely use will be a significant step in protecting tomatoes from various fungal diseases.

Condition of tomatoes

If you notice that tomatoes do not look their best, you can also remember about using iodine. The "indications" include weak appearance of stems, lack of ovaries in the required quantity, poor quality tops, slow ripening of vegetables.

Recipe

The easiest way is to use a classic recipe that has been tested by many. To do this, mix a spoonful of milk (tablespoon) and a few drops of iodine (no more than five) in a bucket of water.
