An important moment for tomatoes is approaching. This treatment is at a premium

Tomatoes will issue abundant crops if we care for them properly. However, this is not only about watering or fertilizing plants. It turns out that the announcement of tomatoes is a very important procedure. We explain what it is about and how to carry them out to enjoy successful collections.

Announcement is a care treatment during which We remove the tip of the main rush on which the meryste is located, i.e. growth cone, making the plant climb.

This treatment is carried out at high varieties, reaching up to 3 meters high, because the uncontrolled growth of this type of plant can make such a bush more difficult to cultivate, and also It will bear worse, because the plant, instead of focusing on the production of new fruits, will distract its energy on the development of shoots.

This is due to the fact that each part of the plant, i.e. shoots, leaves and fruits, need nutrients that they compete for each other. Therefore, announcing will make all the focus of the plant to be redirected to fruit, accelerating their ripening and resulting in prosperous and abundant crops.

We must also remember that announcing is not the same as covering the lower leaves. These are two different activities, which, however, bring similar results in the form of better fruits. Leaf removal is performed throughout the vegetation period, and announcement before the end of the cultivation.

The best time to announce tomatoes is about 8 weeks before the planned end of cultivation, which in our climatic conditions usually falls at the end of September, just before the first frosts. Therefore We perform the announcement at the beginning of August.

It is worth adding, however, that this procedure is carried out when the plant produces 5-6 grapes. When there are more of them, our tomatoes will begin to weaken. Therefore, sometimes it can also be done in the middle of the season.

Wanting to perform this procedure, We need to cut the tip of the growth so as to leave 2-3 leaves over the last fruit or inflorescence. In case the tomato bush is healthy, put the cut momentum into the composter. If not, we throw it into organic waste so as not to transfer the disease to other plants.

However, we must know that this process applies to high tomatoes. In the case of dwarf or self -making varieties, announcing is not necessary. However, regardless of the variety throughout the season, let’s take care of pruning and removing side shoots at our tomatoes.
