To obtain larger, more generous and evenly ripe tomato fruits, it is good to handle them properly now. This mainly applies to tall, limp-legged varieties. The stakes hold the plant vertically, which allows the fruit to ripen evenly.The easiest way is to lead them to one shoot, removing all side shoots that gradually grow out of the leaf axils.
These shoots are pinched at the very base, when they are still quite small.It is especially important to remove the shoots growing right under the inflorescences as soon as possible, because their stronger development may cause the shedding of flowers and fruit buds. Tomatoes can also be led into two shoots - then the strongest second shoot is left as the second shoot, growing right under the first inflorescence.
Then all remaining side shoots are removed, as in the first case.Tomatoes can also be grown into three shoots.If during the flowering of tomatoes there are longer chills, rainfall or drought (or the tomatoes grow in a closed greenhouse) - insects will not pollinate the flowers and then you need to take remedial measures.
It is enough to buy a special growth hormone preparation, pour it a little into a yogurt cup and dip into it all the inflorescences in which half of the flowers are already developed.Pollination can be repeated when all flowers are developed.
