Growing and care
If you get too carried away with pinching and removing the lower leaves, the plant can get stressed and not only roll the leaves, but also lose color.
This happens when the stepsons have outgrown, it is better to remove them in several steps. To support the Nastya-sweet tomato with a sharp loss of green mass, it is necessary to spray the plants with complex fertilizer. It is also advised to treat with a growth stimulator "Gulliver Stimul" - dilute 10-15 ml in 3-5 liters of water per 1 hundred square meters. The product contains phytohormones that enhance the flow of nutrients to the roots and stems.
A plant needs different micronutrients at each stage of growth. All fertilizers can be divided into two groups: mineral and organic. Folk remedies are often used: iodine, yeast, bird droppings, eggshells.
It is important to observe the rate and period of feeding. This also applies to folk remedies and organic fertilizers.
Disease and pest resistance
If the leaves on Nastya-sweets' tomatoes curl and turn brown, and then dry up, then the likely cause is bacterial cancer. This disease begins with vascular damage, which stops the nutrition of the entire plant. You can determine the disease behind the cut of the bottom sheet: a brown trace will be visible inside. This disease cannot be cured, so the infected bushes are pulled out and burned away from the site.
Caring owners spray tomatoes of this variety against late blight with special preparations a week after planting in open ground, repeating the treatment twice after 10 days. The "Healer" is suitable, which acts both prophylactically and has medicinal properties, and "Protection" as a more powerful remedy in case the disease has already been found on plants. The consumption rate of drugs is 25-30 g per 5 liters of water per one hundred square meters and 7.5 g per 5 liters of water for the same area.
In addition, it is advised to timely apply phosphorus-potassium fertilizers, or at least feed the tomato bushes of Nastya-sweetened with a growth stimulator "Gulliver Stimul". This kind of feeding increases the culture's resistance to fungal diseases.
The first thing to do to the owner of Nastya-sweet tooth infected with late blight is to remove and burn all the leaves on which yellow or brown spots have appeared.
Bordeaux liquid, popular among gardeners, 1% can delay the development of late blight for some time, but one should not hope for a miracle.
For its preparation, 100 g of copper sulfate is diluted in 1 liter of hot water in a non-metallic container (this is important). The same is done with lime. Then both solutions are brought to a volume of 5 liters with cold water, pouring a thin stream of lime into a solution of copper sulfate. Get 10 liters of Bordeaux liquid.
The solution is sprayed on the leaves of tomatoes of this variety, provided that it will not be washed off by rain within 3-4 hours.
The drug "Garth" is advised as an affordable and effective help: 25-30 g is diluted in 5-8 liters of water (per 1 hundred square meters) and tomatoes are processed.
The drugs listed above are suitable for both prevention and treatment of the disease, but the treatment should be carried out before the first signs of the disease appear, only then will it give the best results.
It is best to process the Nastya-sweet tomato 2 times with an interval of 10-14 days. You can harvest the fruits after spraying in 14 days.
