Reasons and preventive measures of tomato fruit too small

    Tomato is a common vegetable and fruit in our daily life. It is rich in nutrients and is known as a magical fruit in vegetables, which is deeply loved by people. Tomatoes are widely cultivated in my country and have high yields. Many growers have encountered the phenomenon that tomato fruits are too small in the process of planting. Too small fruits affect the quality of products and have a certain impact on planting benefits. So why is the tomato fruit too small? How to prevent it? Let's learn together.

    1. Reasons for tomato fruit being too small

    1. It is related to the variety of tomato: some varieties of tomato are almost the same in size, and these varieties of tomatoes are suitable for long-harvest planting. There is another popular tomato variety. The higher the plant, the smaller the fruit. This variety is suitable for planting with a relatively short harvest period.

   2. The influence of fertilization factors: the lack of various elements necessary for plants, such as the lack of boron, manganese and other elements, will cause the fruit to become smaller. In addition, if the application method of fertilizer is not appropriate, it will also affect the size of the fruit. For example, if the amount of nitrogen applied in tomato is not enough, it may cause nitrogen deficiency in the crop. Too much of some elements can also make tomatoes produce smaller fruit.

    3. Cultivation: There are many influencing factors in tomato cultivation. Tomatoes lack water, the planting soil is too stiff, and there is a common cause of small greenhouse tomato fruits - auxin poisoning.

Second, tomato fruit is too small preventive measures

    1. During the period from planting tomatoes in greenhouses to before flowering, tomato plants have low demand for nitrogen fertilizer, so top dressing of nitrogen fertilizers to tomatoes is not necessary at this stage.

    2. When the tomato begins to enter the flowering and fruiting period, the growth rate of the plant is relatively fast. At this time, attention should be paid to the nitrogen fertilizer application.

    3. During the period from the first fruit setting of the tomato to the fourth fruit setting of the tomato, because the temperature gradually increases, the watering interval will gradually shorten, so the nitrogen fertilizer applied each time does not need too much.

    4. When the tomato enters the picking period, the application amount of nitrogen can be reduced to meet the demand of nitrogen fertilizer for tomato color change, but pay attention to increase the application amount of potassium fertilizer.

    The above are the reasons why the tomato fruit is too small and the preventive measures, which have a lot to do with the variety, fertilization, and cultivation methods. When planting, we should choose varieties with good resistance and strong resistance, and usually strengthen the management of water and fertilizer, and pay attention to the supplementation of trace elements. , and do the building work.
