Gardeners and gardeners - 10 questions

1. Why do carrots blush leaves?

The redness of the leaves indicates a lack of potassium. Sometimes this is due to the composition of the soil and the fact that the carrots are grown on the garden a second time. Last year, it already took its own, a change of cultures is needed.

Often potassium does not come to the plant in hot weather, from lack of watering. When watering, try to thoroughly soak the soil. To preserve moisture, mulch the rows.

Feed the carrots with Potassium Humate or Potassium Monophosphate. You can make ash. Also, fertilizing with a potassium permanganate solution - a pink solution from a watering can - will not be superfluous.

2. Why raspberries have many, many thin shoots. They grow in a bundle, but do not increase in height and the main thing do not give berries?

Such raspberries are infected with the growth virus. This virus affects many cultures, including decorative ones - dahlias, phlox. Perhaps the virus went from them to raspberries. Unfortunately, viral diseases in plants are not treated. The affected plants need to be dug up, raspberries should not be planted in the same place, to fight insect pests, as they carry the infection.

3. Why do the strawberry bushes dry?

Strawberries (or, right, garden strawberries) dry out from fungal diseases. Both large-fruited and small-fruited varieties are affected.

Pathogens - fungi, by the name of which the diseases are named - vertillosis and fusarium wilt. Mushrooms are transmitted through the soil and stored in it. The roots are affected, clogging the vessels. Because of this, moisture does not enter the plant, and it dies in a matter of days.

It is necessary to treat the plant at the first symptoms - wilting of leaves, later all measures are useless. The plant is shed with a fungicide solution - foundationazole, Maxim, Vitaros. Necessary to process and adjacent bushes. Dig up the dried plants with a lump of earth and be sure to burn. Shed the hole with the same solution.

For prevention, water the garden every year in spring and summer with a solution of bio-fungicides - Alirin, Gamair, Fitosporin, Trichocin.

4. Why do not zucchini have female flowers, only males?

There can be several reasons, which can be combined with one expression - “stressful conditions”.

First of all, it's the weather: drought and heat, or vice versa, low temperature, or sudden temperature fluctuations. This often happens in the middle lane.

The second reason is a lack of light. Zucchini is often planted in the shade, under the trees, considering them shade-tolerant plants.

The third reason is a lack of nutrition. On poor soil need feeding. But sometimes there is not enough moisture, because plants receive food only in dissolved form. With a lack of watering, they starve.

The fourth reason is an excess of fertilizers, mainly nitrogen fertilizers, the plants are fattening.

4. How to stimulate the laying of female flowers?

Regularly water and feed zucchini. To introduce fertilizers containing potassium and phosphorus. This is potassium humate, potassium monophosphate, superphosphate (daily extract). You can use ashes (a glass on 10 l of water).

Sprinkle plants with the drug Bud or Ovary.

If the plant lives, then on the contrary it is necessary to cause stress in the plant. Cut irrigation and dry the soil. Stop nitrogen fertilizing. Make potassium fertilizers, best of all on leaves. Remove excess leaves to lighten the plant.

5. Why do tomatoes have good bush, but little fruit?

Frequently Asked Question. There are several reasons, but the ways of solving problems are similar, as in the case with zucchini.

Tomatoes are often fattened (overfed), so they tie a little fruit.

Also, few fruits are due to improper tomato formation - stepsons were not removed. As a result, many shoots grew, and the plant simply did not have enough strength. to ensure fruit set on all stems.

Too high temperature. If the temperature in the greenhouse rises above 32 degrees, then the pollen becomes "sterile", pollination does not occur, then. There could be only one or two hot days, but brushes in the middle tier (the most productive) bloomed during this period. If pollen died, then all the flowers were left without pollination.

What to do? Remove stepchildren and even large stems if they are superfluous. The food will be spent on a smaller number of flowers and ovaries, and the ripening of the fruit will accelerate.

Sprinkle tomatoes with Bud or Ovum-tomatoes.

If tomatoes are fattening, reduce watering. To apply potash top dressing (under the root, and preferably on the leaves).

6. Why are the leaves twisted and blossom on the currant?

Such damage can be seen on the red and black currants, and sometimes on the apple and pear.

The twisting of the leaves and tops of the shoots causes the usual green aphid (it is clearly visible on the stem and back of the leaf). If the leaves are deformed and redden, then the pest is often not visible. But this is also aphid, only very small. They call it red gall aphid, since it causes swelling on the leaves - galls.

Control measures - spraying with insecticides. During the ripening period of the crop, only biological preparations should be used, for example, Fi-Totherm, Akarin, Act ofit. Processing should be carried out with a good sprayer with a fine spray to thoroughly moisten the entire surface of the sheet, especially on the underside.

If the tips of the shoots are strongly deformed, it is better to cut them together with the leaves and burn them. They will not give any good growth, but they will be the source of the spread of aphids.

7. Why is the black flat spot on tomato fruits? What is this disease?

This is not a disease, but a physiological condition associated with a lack of trace elements. It is called vertex rot.

Nutrition in the soil can be sufficient, but some elements can not be assimilated. Often this happens because the excess of one element (for example, nitrogen or phosphorus) blocks the flow of another.

In the case of vertex rot, calcium and boron are not sufficient. To prevent vertex rot, nitrogen fertilizing for tomatoes is given only at the stage of seedlings. When planting, add dolomite flour. The plants are fed with calcium nitrate and the MagBor fertilizer. Faster effect will be achieved if fertilizer is applied to the leaves.

8. Why dill grows thin and thin, and the neighbor has a magnificent, good dill across the fence?

Dill is a simple culture, if you know what he loves. But many people think that it is “just grass - it will grow itself.” They are very mistaken!

For a good harvest you need a bright place. Parsley can grow under a tree and even give a good crop, and dill in the shade will be a “mouse tail”.

Dill loves loose soil. On dense clay soil, it grows thin, tortured. But it is worth mulching this soil with compost, rotted manure, and dill will be just gorgeous! “The point is nutrition,” you say. No, it is in loose soil. Replace the compost with sawdust, there will be the same effect. On a dense crust (for example, after watering), dill does not grow. Moreover, he may not rise at all!

Dill does not like strong penetration. Seeding in the furrows often leads to thin, pathetic shoots. Dill spends a lot of energy on germination and then can not restore it.

Now sow dill over the surface of the soil - just scatter it and go raking. Shoots will be great!

9. Why does the plum fly over the ovary?

There are two reasons. The first, and very common - plum sawfly. He damages the ovary, making a small hole in it. With mass reproduction of the pest, crop losses are up to 80%. With a sawfly you need to fight in early spring, spraying the plant twice - before flowering and immediately after it. Now collect the scavenger and loosen the trunk circle.

Another reason is lack of nutrition. The tree does not cope with the load of the crop and discards excess ovaries. Often nutrition in the soil is enough, not enough moisture. The tree needs to be watered abundantly - 10-15 buckets under the crown. Usually a hose is sprayed with a sprinkler method, and the amount of water is several times less.

10. Why do hydrangeas have small flowers? At first the bush blossomed with large white caps, and now the bush grows, and the flowers are all smaller.

Hortensia is a tree-like tree (apparently, it is a speech) to be cut. It blooms on young growths, and the smaller the number of shoots, the larger the flowers.

Every year, in autumn or spring, hydrangea shoots are shortened. Cut from 1/3 to 2/3 of the length of the shoots. Once every several years, anti-aging pruning is performed by cutting the bush “on a stump” - about 15 cm in height. This removes all thin shoots, as well as old and thickening stems.

The plants grow badly and ripen, and the nights get colder? Here's how to accelerate the maturation of tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, cucumbers and pumpkins.
• Tomatoes. In the open field above the tomatoes, you need to put arcs and pull the film. During the day, it should be opened so that the tomatoes have enough sun and air, and lower at night to protect the plants from the cold. All flower brushes on which flowers have not blossomed should be removed. Pinch the tops above the 4th brush. Fruits must be harvested in the stage of technical ripeness. Gradually (not in one day!), Starting from the bottom, you need to remove all the leaves. If the bush has grown too much, you need to tear the roots of the tomato, lifting the bush a little up, so that the topmost small roots come off. You can also take the old-fashioned way - to cut a tomato stalk and insert a wooden stick or a toothpick into the incision.
• Eggplants and bell peppers. These plants need to pinch points of growth and each time to cover the bed for each night. It is desirable to cut off side shoots, remove part of the leaves and feed up bushes with phosphorus-potassium fertilizers.
• Cucumbers. Over the garden, it is necessary to install arcs, cover with a film for the night, and in the day to ventilate. Soil in several places to pierce forks, remove new side shoots and shorten whips with ovaries.
• Pumpkin. Under the ripening fruits to put the plaque, new flowers to remove, pinch points shoot growth for 20 days before the planned harvesting of fruit, gradually prune the leaves.
