Why do tomatoes taste bad now?
1, the first thing that comes to mind is that the current tomato varieties are different from the previous varieties. Some may have been genetically modified for generations, but in order to make tomatoes more productive, more convenient to transport and more profitable, the taste of tomatoes was not considered.
2. Now many tomatoes are planted in greenhouses, which are out of season. There are many manufacturers, in order to keep fresh, tomatoes will be picked when they are green, and the taste will be very poor. In addition, in order to shorten the growth cycle of tomatoes, many ripening agents are used to ripen them.
In addition, in order to increase production and prevent pests and diseases, most manufacturers will use a lot of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, which makes tomatoes not only taste bad, but also unhealthy.
How to grow delicious tomatoes
1, seed selection and land selection
Since it is delicious, you must choose varieties with good taste. It is not necessary to choose varieties that have been improved many times for yield. There seems to be a variety called Provence, which is similar to the last one. It tastes sweet and sour, and looks shiny and sandy when opened.
As for the choice of land, since we want to plant it in our own vegetable fields, there is no other choice. Make your land better. It's best to use some organic fertilizers such as farmyard manure as base fertilizer, then turn over the ground and mix the soil with fertilizer to make the soil fluffy.
2. Planting management
First of all, we should plant tomatoes at a reasonable density and control the spacing between tomato plants, because tomatoes must have sufficient light if they want to be sweet and delicious. Hami melon in Xinjiang, for example, is sweet and delicious because of its abundant sunshine. Of course, the control of temperature, humidity and ventilation is also necessary, and it will be better when the temperature difference between day and night is large.
3. Water and fertilizer management
For water management, water should be moderate, too little can not be used for plant growth, but not too much, too much will reduce the sugar in tomatoes, and then become less sweet.
As for fertilizer, it is said that it is best to use organic fertilizer as base fertilizer, which is nutritious and healthy. After that, topdressing should be done in time according to the situation, and organic fertilizer can also be used instead of chemical fertilizer. However, if a specific element is lacking, suitable organic fertilizer or a small amount of chemical fertilizer can be used according to the situation.
4. Prevention and control of pests and diseases
Weeds in vegetable fields should be cleaned up in time. If diseased plants are found, they must be cleaned up in time so as not to affect other healthy tomato plants.
