How to Increase the Yield of Tomatoes

1. Cover with mulch. Mulching is a planting management task that has emerged in recent years. After planting tomatoes, mulching can increase the temperature of the soil and reduce the rate of evaporation of water in the soil. It can also effectively prevent the growth of weeds, improve the softness of the soil, promote the growth of seedlings after planting, and strengthen the growth of roots. First of all, we should lay the ground on the established border surface, then use soil to cover it tightly, control the planting density and dig the planting holes before planting. This can ensure the healthy growth of tomatoes, reduce the threat of weeds, diseases and insect pests, and avoid unnecessary losses. Our company provides tomato seed.

2. Insert rod for solid vine. There are many varieties of tomatoes. Among them, the infinitely growing tomato plants are taller and have strong growth ability. They need to be inserted to promote growth. And the plunger should be strong enough and long enough to ensure that the tomato plants have enough space to climb and grow. Usually the planting time is about 10 days after planting. The number of planting rods is controlled according to the number of plantings. Generally, one plant is planted with one rod. Pay attention to the position of the inserting rod, which should be about 12 cm away from the plant, and the two adjacent inserting rods should be tied in a herringbone cross to improve the wind resistance of the inserting rod and prevent lodging.

3. Pruning and thinning fruit. Many friends will ignore the ripeness of the plants in order to increase the yield of tomatoes, causing the number of retained fruits to exceed the plant's tolerance, which will affect the growth of the fruits. Therefore, we do a good job of fruit thinning when planting. In the case of weak fertility and a large number of fruits, the number of fruits per ear should not exceed 5. While thinning the fruit, we must do a good job of pruning. When the extra side buds on the branches grow to about 5 cm, they must be wiped out in time. If it rains, it is not allowed. Then before and after the Ching Ming Festival, two leaves are reserved on the last ear for topping, which promotes the growth of tomatoes, increases the accumulation of fruit nutrition, increases yield, and expands planting benefits.

4. Fertilizer and water management. The growth ability of tomatoes is relatively strong, and the demand for fertilizer and water is relatively large. Therefore, we should water and fertilize in time during the important period of tomato growth. When the tomato plant opens the first flower, it is necessary to control the water and fertilizer. Do not apply excessively, especially the application of nitrogen fertilizer. Too much nitrogen fertilizer will cause the tomatoes to grow, reduce the permeability, and easily cause various diseases and insect pests. After reaching the harvest period, topdressing fertilizer is usually applied once a week and lasts until about three weeks before harvest. Water the soil in time when the soil is too dry, pay attention to the amount of water, and pay attention to drainage when the soil is over-watered or rainy.
