And why do tomatoes twist leaves?

If you just planted tomatoes, then after a while you may notice that the tomatoes twist the leaves and spoil the buds. Remember that tomatoes are rather whimsical plants that require especially strict observance of the rules for their maintenance. Even with a minimal discrepancy with these rules, fruits and leaves will signal you about your deplorable condition.

To date, the question of why the tomato twists leaves, worries many gardeners. But, as it turned out, there are more than enough reasons for this. The most important of these is excessive obsession with nitrogen fertilizers, infusion of herbs and organic substances with a sharp shortage of zinc, potassium and phosphorus. In this case, it is important to make complex fertilizers, such as potassium monophosphate or a solution, and also by rules to balance the nutrition of plants.

In addition, when you make a lot of insufficiently rotten slurry or manure, the ammonia released can cause superficial necrotic damage to the fetus or a burn of the leaves.

Also, the cause of why the tomato twists the leaves, there may be a violation of the regime of humidity and temperature. Increasing the temperature to 35 ° C enhances the process of breathing a tomato, resulting in a rapid disintegration of nutrients, although the accumulation and assimilation of these substances at the same time falls sharply. Due to starvation, the leaves of the tomato twist. A particular danger for the plant occurs if the roots are located in the cold, and the upper part experiences high-temperature stress.

Remove the stress, you can handle the leaves of tomatoes with urea, and after about 2 days sprinkle the leaves with potassium permanganate, which must be diluted to the color of a rosemary and to process the leaves with solution. In a few days you will notice that the tops straighten.

Intense watering, excessive pinching or pasyning can also cause why the tomato twists the leaves. Such twisting may occur in the middle of the growing season. It usually begins with the lower leaves and gradually spreads to the top. The leaves easily crumble, become dense and somewhat firm to the touch. With strong twisting, flowers of plants often fall.

If you are sure that the plants are provided with the correct moist and temperature regime and proper nutrition, but do not understand why the tomato twists the leaves, then maybe the cause was a bacterial infection that is transmitted when planting with seeds. We want to assure you that it will not be possible to cure this disease, but it can be suspended a little by a special system drug "Avicil".
