    How many leaves should I remove on tomatoes?

      An excess of leaves retards ripening, and too few of them prevent the plant from forming large fruits. I begin to remove the lowest leaves in the midst of pouring the second brush. Since the fruit is poured at the expense of the leaves located above the brush, it is impossible to remove them categorically until the fruit begins to acquire the color characteristic of the variety or hybrid.
      How many leaves will be above the brush depends on the variety or hybrid. In determinant varieties, they can be 1–2, in in- determinant varieties, 3-4. However, practice has shown that it is undesirable to leave less than 25-30 leaves on the plant - this greatly delays the ripening of the fruits.

      First of all, it is necessary to provide 100% (or close to that) fruit set. In the period of mass flowering of plants, I spray them with boron-containing preparations. It is very important to apply them strictly according to the instructions, not allowing overdose. Ordinary boric acid can be used. It dissolves quite easily in warm water (concentration of 1 g / l). Since, unlike nitrogen, boron is not redistributed in the plant, spraying I spend 2-3 times through 1,5-2 weeks.
      The size of the brushes and, in fact, the total yield directly depend on whether the plant has enough nutrition. In the loading phase of 1-3 brushes, it is important to properly feed the plantings. Than? The plant itself will tell about this. So, for example, very often in varieties with predominantly generative development (they actively tie fruit, often to the detriment of the leaf apparatus), thin stems can be seen. Therefore, when the fruits are actively poured on the 1-2nd brush, I use “enhanced dressing”. First, I water the plantings with calcium nitrate (20 g / 10 l of water per 20 plants) - 0,5 l of water at the root, after which I water with ordinary water so that the nutrients spread over a large area. This fertilizer contains only about 15% nitrogen (in contrast to ammonium nitrate, which contains about 34% nitrogen) and calcium, which protects the fruits from vertex rot. And after a day or two I add potassium sulfate (potassium sulfate) in the amount of 1 g per plant to water for irrigation. And then I water it. After one and after 2 weeks I repeat a similar series of top dressings. Tomatoes do not fatten and form an excellent crop.
      If the plants are well developed, they do not need nitrogen, and only potassium should be used. It contributes to the filling of larger fruits, without unripe "shoulders."

    - Ablation (or inoculation by approaching) is used to connect the stems of plants growing nearby. In the place of their contact, the bark is cut down to wood, the surfaces are combined, pressed tightly to each other and tied (see fig.).

    This method is also used for the treatment of fruit trees, when it is necessary to plant a growing root, basal or stem growth in the healthy part of the trunk over the damaged area, or to fasten different parts of the crown together. Ablaze is best done from May to September.
