The variety of methods for feeding tomato plants can make choosing the best option difficult.
Let's consider one of the unusual methods - the use of dry yeast. We will find out how they can positively affect the yield and quality of tomatoes.
The influence of yeast on the growth and development of tomatoes
Yeast feeding is an effective way to enrich the soil with essential microelements and strengthen the root system of plants, says Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .
Yeast contains many vitamins and minerals that promote healthy growth and protect plants from infections and pests.
Recipe for yeast feeding for tomatoes
To prepare yeast fertilizer you will need 5 grams of dry yeast, 200 ml of warm water, 5000 ml of water, 100 grams of sugar and a tablespoon of sifted ash.
Dissolve the yeast in warm water and let it sit for 60 minutes. Then add the yeast solution to 5000 ml of water, add sugar and sifted ash. Mix thoroughly and leave for three days.
Application and results
Before use, dilute 200 ml of concentrate in a bucket of water. One tomato bush requires 1000 ml of diluted fertilizer.
Avoid getting fertilizer on the leaves of plants. Water tomatoes at a distance of 10 cm from the stem.
In just a week, you will notice the results: tomatoes will become stronger, leaves will be greener, and the risk of disease will decrease. This method of feeding can also be used for cucumbers.
