Feeding tomatoes with yeast
Content:
Tomatoes are very fond of and very much in need of feeding throughout their development. Fertilizing tomatoes is especially needed when they are grown in a greenhouse. Feeding with the use of yeast has proven itself very well. Tomatoes are whimsical to the soil: what is its composition and what structure. If you want a healthy and rich harvest, then the soil in which tomatoes are grown must be full of micronutrients. To do this, you cannot do without feeding. Feeding tomatoes with yeast has a number of features.
Feeding tomatoes with yeast - what is it for?
The yeast feed has a very useful composition. This feeding contains a huge amount of minerals. There are also many vitamins in the feeding, there are vitamins such as B, C, K, PP.
Top dressing helps the plant to develop better, grow, and also strengthen the root system, since the composition contains proteins and carbohydrates. Yeast feeding helps the root system to retain a pleasant microflora, suppressing various diseases and microorganisms. This is due to the fact that when any pathogenic organisms appear, the soil changes its composition under the influence of feeding, a large amount of nitrogen appears in the soil and the rate of organic matter processing increases.
Yeast is a single-celled fungus that contains nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus. Yeast also contains the necessary elements and vitamins necessary for the development of tomatoes. When the yeast enters the soil, it begins to interact with the organisms that are contained in the soil. The chemical processes that subsequently take place in the soil help to form the necessary compounds that have a beneficial effect on tomatoes. Ash can be used with yeast to obtain the best effect. Yeast has a positive effect on the development of tomatoes:
· Seedlings adapt better and take root in a new place.
· The aboveground part of the tomato begins to grow well.
· The root system becomes even stronger.
· Tomatoes have good resistance to pests and unfavorable environmental conditions.
Results after using yeast feeding
After feeding the plants with yeast, you can safely expect the following results:
1. Rapid plant growth, the appearance of new shoots on the stems, thanks to which we will have more fruits.
2.Strong root system of the plant.
3. The greatest resistance to pathogenic organisms and diseases.
But in no case should you add too much yeast top dressing to the soil, since its excess will have a bad effect on the plant. An excess can lead to a completely different effect, the root system will weaken in plants, the stems will fade and processes will cease to appear on them, which will lead to worse fruiting. Therefore, such feeding is carried out no more than three times during the whole period.
When to apply yeast top dressing to the soil?
Yeast top dressing can be applied already when you start growing seedlings. The main advantage of yeast feeding is its natural composition, as well as the benefits of its use. Yeast is not nearly inferior in its composition and useful qualities to fertilizers that are sold in stores, but at a lower price.
The first feeding is carried out even during the seedling period, since the buds of the plant are formed during this period. It is worth remembering that for young plants, the amount of fertilizer should be less.
Thirty days after planting at a certain place, feeding is carried out a second time.
Feeding tomatoes with yeast: a recipe
Top dressing can be applied both under the roots and by spraying. Feeding tomatoes from yeast can be used when the solution begins to ferment. Top dressing can be done using sugar, herbs and chicken manure, or without adding various additives.
Consider several recipes for yeast feeding:
First option top dressing can be used at the root when you plant seedlings. In 1 liter of warm water, you need to dilute 100 g of dry yeast. Insist this infusion for 1-2 days. Add enough water to the finished solution to make 10 liters of the finished solution. Applying such a solution, the seedlings become stronger, a fairly thick trunk is formed. But keep in mind, if such a solution has already fermented, then it is not suitable for seedlings. It can be applied to mature plants.
Foliar feeding of tomatoes with yeast
If you need an adult tomato solution, you can prepare the following solution. You need to take yeast (1 kg), knead well and mix with 5 liters of warm water. Let the resulting solution brew for 2 days. When you smell the leaven, add water (1:10). Add the resulting solution under each bush at the rate of 0.5 liters of solution per 1 bush.
For tomatoes grown in a polycarbonate greenhouse, sugar can be added to the yeast feed. You can use the following recipe: add yeast (100 g) and sugar (100 g) to 3 liters of warm water. Leave such a solution to brew in a warm place. Then 200 g of the solution must be diluted with 10 liters of water, then you can process the bushes with this solution. For 1 bush we consume 1 liter of solution.
Fresh yeast works well for tomatoes to grow faster, but can be replaced with dry yeast. Yeast (100 g) should be mixed in 10 liters of warm water. Add sugar (2 tablespoons). as soon as the fermentation process begins, you need to infuse for 3 hours. Before you start watering the plants, they need to be diluted with water (1: 5). You need to water under the root of the bush.
Also, for the best effect of fertilization, you can add infusion with nettle to it. To do this, you need a wooden barrel with a volume of 200 liters. Add nettle (5 buckets), wood ash (2 shovels), fresh mullein (1 bucket), milk whey (3l) to it. All ingredients must be poured with water, mixed well and left in the sun. After 2 days, add live yeast. This solution must be left to ferment for 12-14 days. With the resulting solution, you need to water the tomato bushes at the root (100 ml), 2 tbsp will be enough for seedlings. spoons. In order for the fermentation process to begin, the yeast needs warmth. Hot water will not work.
Spraying is not suitable as a fertilizer for the growth and development of tomatoes, but rather for pest and disease control. For such a feeding, you need to take 1 liter of warm water and add yeast (100 g), iodine (30 drops) there. Tomatoes can be treated with this solution 2 times a season (before the beginning of the flowering and fruiting process).
Yeast starter recipes
If you do not have yeast, then there is nothing easier - you can make the sourdough at home. To do this, take 1 cup of sprouted and milled wheat grains and add sugar (2 tablespoons) and flour (2 tablespoons). Put the resulting mass and cook it for 10-20 minutes. Leave warm for 1-2 days before fermentation begins. Pour the resulting composition with 10 liters of water. Hop cones work well for starter culture. To do this, you need to take hop cones (1 glass, it doesn't matter fresh or dry), pour boiling water over them (1.5 l). Cook the resulting mixture for about an hour. Leave to ferment for 2 days.Add boiled potatoes (2 pcs.) To the resulting mixture and leave to ferment for another day. Then you need to dilute the resulting mixture at the rate of 10 liters of water per 1 glass of the mixture. Such leavens are not inferior in their action and properties to ordinary yeasts.
Yeast top dressing for tomatoes: recipe
1. Top dressing can consist not only of yeast, but also with added sugar. For this top dressing, you need 10 liters of water, a kilogram package of yeast, 25 grams of sugar, and for the best effect, you can add a little ascorbic acid. Mix everything and leave for 24-26 hours. It is recommended to stir the mixture during these 24-26 hours. The mixture is also diluted before use, as in the classic recipe.
2. Milk can be used instead of water. For this you need
five liters of milk, a kilogram of yeast and such a mixture should be left only for 2-3 hours. Dilute 1:10 with water before use.
3. You can use dry yeast rather than live yeast. The recipe is simple: packaging of yeast, 10 liters of warm water and sugar (20-25 grams). Mix all the ingredients and leave the mixture in a warm place for 4 hours. Dilute with water before use.
Recipe for tomato yeast feed using plants
We need a barrel that can hold 200 liters. Ingredients: 5 buckets of nettles, two kilograms of yeast and a bucket of mullein. All ingredients should be poured into a barrel, mixed thoroughly and filled with water (to the brim). This dressing should be infused for 15 days. It is recommended to put the barrel in a warm, sunny place, so the fermentation will take place faster.
How to make a tomato yeast solution using hops
For this recipe you will need hop cones, sugar, yeast, potatoes. First you need to prepare a decoction of cones, which should be cooked for 1-2 hours. When cooling down, 25 grams of sugar is added to the broth, mixed and left for 48-50 hours. After 48 hours, add two potatoes, which were grated in advance, to the broth, mix and leave for 24 hours. The broth is ready! Before use, it is necessary to dilute the prepared mixture with water, in a ratio of 1:10.
Instead of hop cones, you can use ordinary wheat, the grains of which must be sprouted, milled and mixed with flour and sugar, as in simple recipes. This mixture must be cooked for about thirty minutes over low heat and left to infuse for 24 hours.
How to make tomato yeast feed with chicken droppings
To prepare such a fertilizer, you will need a bag of dry yeast, 50 grams of granulated sugar, ten liters of warm water, 500 grams of chicken manure, half a liter of wood ash.
All ingredients should be mixed, as in the rest of the recipes, and left to infuse for several hours. Dilute with water before use.
Due to the presence of chicken droppings, such top dressing cannot be applied to the root of the plant, since the root system can burn out in the sun.
When to apply top dressing
Top dressing for tomatoes grown in a greenhouse can be introduced at any stage of their development. Even if you add yeast feeding 1 time, then for 2 months the plant will develop without much hassle and problems. Therefore, yeast feeding can be applied 3 times per season. This will be enough for the tomatoes to grow and develop correctly. Fertilizing tomatoes after planting in the greenhouse with yeast is carried out immediately. This will not only go to the root system, but also help the seedlings better adapt to new conditions. But you should not apply dressings too often or in large quantities. This will only harm the tomatoes.
Feeding tomatoes with yeast - how to apply correctly?
Observe certain rules related to yeast feeding: · Yeast has a positive effect only in the presence of warmth, so provide the yeast with a warm soil. · Top dressing can be applied 2-3 during the summer season.This amount will be enough. · The combination of ash and yeast will improve the feeding properties. · If possible, use live yeast. They are more likely to have a positive effect on tomatoes. For seedlings, it is better to use a 0.5 solution of yeast feeding, for adult bushes, 2 liters of such a solution is suitable
For which plants is yeast feeding suitable, except for tomatoes
Because of its good effect, this fertilizer can be used for many plants.
Feeding tomatoes with yeast is well suited for peppers, cucumbers, herbs. It cannot harm the plant in any way, since this is a natural fertilizer, on the contrary, it adds a lot of nutrients to the soil. The only thing to consider is the expiration date of the yeast, you cannot use expired yeast.
