In the absence of ovaries on tomatoes or other crops, gardeners complain about unfavorable weather, as a result of which pollination of inflorescences worsens. However, there are a number of other factors that affect fetal formation. This will be the subject of this article.
Reasons for the absence of an ovary on tomatoes or other crops
Of course, they can interfere with the pollination of flowers hot weather and weak fly out of insects under the scorching sun. But there are other reasons that inhibit seed formation by making pollen sterile. As a result of such interference, the ovary falls off at the initial stage of formation.
Among the main factors affecting fruit setting, experts identify the following:
- low air humidity (below 38%) in combination with a high stable temperature (above 31 degrees);
- high air humidity (over 78%) combined with temperatures above 29 degrees;
- acidic soil environment;
- planting seeds or seedlings in cold soil;
- deficiency of micronutrients in the soil (magnesium, boron, nitrogen, molybdenum, etc.);
- excessive application of easily digestible fertilizers;
- insufficient illumination beds;
- watering crops cold water;
- the presence of drafts (or prolonged windy weather);
- overloading the bush with ovaries;
- the effect of herbicides used on adjacent beds;
- damage to the plant by a disease with a focus area of more than 1/3.
When caring for plants, you should carefully observe the slightest changes in the state of the foliage.
The culture itself will "prompt" about a problem in agricultural technology (lack or excess of food, moisture deficit or excessive dryness). Timely elimination of the stressful situation restores normal vegetation.
What to do to stimulate the formation of ovaries on tomatoes
It is not easy to eliminate the consequences of the revealed reason for the absence of ovaries on tomatoes and other plants. And sometimes it takes too much time to determine the essence of the problem; it will no longer be possible to save the harvest of the current season.
Therefore, gardeners should take all measures to reduce the prerequisitesaffecting the formation of fruits.
If we already had to face such a question, then the best solution is the use of folk remedies or special preparations, the action of which is aimed at stimulating fruit formation, preventing ovary shedding.
Many gardeners successfully use the drug Ovary. After treatment with the plant agent more easily tolerate temperature extremes, drought or high humidity.
In addition to stimulation, spraying strengthens the immune system, which allows the shoots to resist fungal infections and other equally serious diseases. The effect after the use of the drug is noticeable in a matter of days, and the action of the active ingredients lasts for 30 days.
The composition of the remedy Ovary and the principle of its work
The drug is made from biological components, therefore it is considered safe for plants and people... The restoration of normal vegetation is achieved due to the rich vitamin composition, supplemented with micro and macro elements (molybdenum, manganese, potassium, magnesium, etc.) in combination with natural acids.
The active substance is gibberellic acid sodium salt, belonging to the 3rd hazard class (in a low concentration, a low level of toxicity is noted).
The principle of operation of the ovary is to enrich the culture with valuable substances that activate metabolic processes... The plant filled with microelements and energy comes out of the stress state, stops dropping the ovaries. The drug is aimed at the production of growth hormones (A3, A4, A7), characterized by physical activity.
Advantages and disadvantages of the drug
Before using the drug, it is worth considering its benefits.
- Versatility means allows you to use it for spraying vegetables, fruit trees and bushes.
- The composition includes safe substances, which allows you to get environmentally friendly harvest... The active ingredient has no effect on the taste and appearance.
- One treatment gives the plant protection for a whole month.
- The tool promotes the formation of ovaries even in unfavorable weather, strengthens the plant's immunity, accelerates the ripening of fruits by 5-7 days.
- Spraying crops excludes the formation of barren flowers.
Due to the use of biological substances for the manufacture of the preparation and the ease of use, the gardeners did not find the disadvantages of the ovary.
The fruiting stimulator cannot completely replace pollination by bees and bumblebees.
Cooking instructions and safety measures
The working solution is prepared by dissolving powder in water... In this case, it is important to adhere to the recommendations, instructions and dosage indicated on the package. For each vegetable crop or fruit trees, the concentration is different, for example, the following proportions are prescribed for a tomato:
- spraying with purpose maintaining a healthy look and flowering - for 1.5 liters of water 2 gr. facilities;
- processing for the purpose stimulation of fruit formation and increase in yield - for 1 liter of water 2 gr. facilities.
Before starting processing, you should familiarize yourself with the following recommendations:
- procedure is carried out early morning or evening;
- the weather should be dry and calm;
- the working solution must be prepared immediately before watering the bushes (in a diluted form, the properties of the drug remain for no more than a day);
- to spray the liquid evenly, use a sprayer;
- processing in order to maintain a healthy look of plants is worth 2 times a season (at the stage of bud formation and after the appearance of peduncles);
- to stimulate the formation of ovaries, you need to spray 3 times a season (at the stage of flowering of the first brush, then the second and third);
- the principle of processing and the concentration of the solution used in open beds is the same as if sprinkled in greenhouses.
The drug does not contain chemicals in the composition, however, spraying should be carried out in overalls, gloves and glasses. If liquid gets on the mucous membrane, it is necessary to immediately rinse the affected area under running water.
Crop processing technology
When using the drug Ovary, it is recommended that you familiarize yourself with the processing rules for different cultures.
How to spray tomatoes
To stimulate the fruit formation of tomatoes, it is necessary to spray the garden thrice, the timing is determined by the beginning of the flowering of the brushes (the first brush is the first treatment, the second brush is the second treatment, etc.)
The solution for processing is prepared in the following concentration: for 1 liter of water 2 gr. facilities. The consumption rate is approximately 300 ml per 10 m2.
Cucumber processing
Spraying cucumbers is carried out twice: at the initial stage of flowering and with a massive ejection of inflorescences. Solution concentration - 2 g. means for 1.4 liters of water. For 10 m2, approximately 600 ml of liquid is used.
How to spray potatoes
Potato beds are processed 2 times every week (first time at the initial stage of flowering). The working solution is prepared from 1.5 g. Ovary and 1.5 liters of water. The liquid consumption rate is about 3 liters per 10 m2.
Reviews of gardeners on the use of the drug
Nikolay Vasilievich, 56 years old
Growing healthy tomatoes has become difficult in recent years. But even more problems appeared after the abundant shedding of the ovaries with stable and careful care. The daughter brought the drug Ovyaz, the effect was noted after the harvest.
The plot is small, more than 100 bushes do not fit, and I am not experimenting with the variety. The treated plants gave one third more harvestthan those that I was afraid to spray.
Irina, 38 years old
I cannot call the Ovary a super drug, although I can say that it is inactive, too, compared to my neighbors, I managed to harvest at least some harvest. Unlike Control, which did not show itself in any way, the money was not wasted.
Vera Anatolyevna, 49 years old
I used the Ovary product by spraying on eggplants, peppers, beans and tomatoes. The drug proved to be the best on tomatoes and peppers... In the rest of the plants, I did not find any differences between treated and untreated bushes.
Tatiana, 35 years old
The ovary does its job perfectly. Late spring frosts used to spoil the yield, now I am calm about the vegetable beds. As for me, the remedy manifests itself more effective than boric acidwhich had to be used earlier.
Sergey, 40 years old
I bought a dacha 7 years ago, and immediately started gardening. Last year, after heavy rains in June, I found showered ovaries on early tomatoes.
On the advice of a neighbor, I treated the garden bed with Ovyaz. After 3-5 days I noticed fragrant foliage and new shoots. Took it off the bush 3-4.5 kg of tomatoes, before that the record was 3.2 kg per plant.
Compliance with the general rules of agricultural technology and timely treatment with protective equipment will prevent the ovaries from shattering. Stimulants can help the plant survive unpleasant weather surprises without sacrificing yield.
