How to increase the harvest of vegetables at the end of the season
YIELD IS NOT YET LATE TO ENLARGE
And at the end of the season it is possible to increase the yield of vegetables. To do this, they need special care. I'll tell you how I act in relation to the most popular cultures.
TOMATOES
Tall tomatoes are able to bear fruit indefinitely, as they have no growth restrictions. The main obstacles for them are the onset of cold weather and illness. As a result, those fruits that could have ripened do not have time to ripen. But we can increase the yield if we stop the growth on time.
To do this, in mid-August, you need to pinch the tops of the stems, remove the stepson and cut all the leaves to the penultimate brush. This will help concentrate the strength of the bush on maturing the remaining fruit.
Of course, not all tomatoes will be fully ripe. In this case it is necessary to collect the green fruits and put them on the dosage in the box, box, etc. It is better if there are no temperature changes in the room. To accelerate maturation, cover the fruit with paper or cloth and put some ripe tomatoes or apples among them.
PEPPER
At peppers cut off shoots with stems and hardly begun fruit. Leave only that which will ripen. Be sure to feed plants extract from superphosphate: soak in a bucket of hot water 1 st. l. this fertilizer together with a glass of ash, insist for 24 hours, then water this solution.
Beginning in August, carry out spraying with biological products ("Gamai-rum", "Phytosporin" or "Alirin") to contain the diseases. Effectively and stimulators of growth will act: «Immunotsitofit», «Obereg», «Novosil». Hothouses must be ventilated, even in cool weather.

CUCUMBERS
The problem for greenhouse cucumbers in early September is increased moisture and cold nights. These plants really need warmth and protection against infections, and also rejuvenation. To do this, dig the bottom of the stem (30-40 cm) into the fertile soil. If the plants are tied, lower the lashes, remove the leaves from the area that you will be dripping. A layer of earth should be at least 5-7 cm. Water only with warm water.
The health of plants of cucumbers is largely promoted by testing. To improve ventilation, cut off all old leaves. Prodite planting, removing the unproductive lateral processes, you can leave them on only three leaves.
If you see signs of disease, once a week, do spraying with drugs such as Sporobacterin, Phytosporin, Gamair or urea solution (2 l., For 10 L of water). Spend nourishing watering "Epinom-extra", potassium humate or "Immunocytophyte". Avoid condensation on the walls and "ceiling" of the greenhouse. When air humidity rises here, ventilate the greenhouse in any weather. If yellow leaves appeared on the leaves and they began to dry up, resuscitate the plants and, moreover, to feed them is already useless.
PITCHES
Cold nights adversely affect all pumpkin cultures and especially on zucchini, which by the end of the summer managed to stretch out. To save the planting and get a good harvest, try to warm them and feed them.
Spray with a warm solution of any complex fertilizer, remove the withered leaves. Do not cut off the stem, but leave two thirds of the petiole. Put arcs for shelter and close the bed for the night with non-woven fabric.
I hope, my advice will help increase your harvest at the end of the summer season.
