What is pasyning?

Everyone who engages in gardening naturally wants to get a decent harvest in return for the labor it has invested. But in practice, this does not always work out. After all, if you do not know the basic agricultural techniques, such as, for example, pasynkovanie, yields leave much to be desired.

So, let's take a closer look, what is this - stepchildren. It consists in removing excess shoots that are formed on the plant, whether tomatoes, cucumbers, eggplants, peppers or dahlias. And is it necessarily pasynkovanie, you ask? And yes and no at the same time. It depends on which plant this applies to, and depending on which soil the plant is grown in. If the soil is poor, then when the green mass is removed, the plant weakens and can not develop well. In other cases, pasyning is simply necessary. After building up a large green mass, the plant puts all its forces into it, and not into fruits and inflorescences. Fruits are small and do not always ripen well, because the foliage closes sunlight to them. Consider separately, what is the meaning of the pasynkovaniya different cultures.

Pasynkovanie tomato

Pasynkovanie such a culture as tomatoes is considered mandatory, especially when the weather keeps rainy and damp. After all, if the plant is poorly ventilated, then the probability of late blight is very high. And this is already a big problem, which truck farmers face constantly. And it is easier not to admit it and warn it than to fight it later.

Not everyone knows how to patronize properly. But the stepson is just the removal of the leaf. In this there is nothing complicated. To begin with, you need to understand what stepchildren are. It forms between the main trunk and the side leaf of the plant and grows very actively. If you do not remove the stepson in time, when its size does not exceed 5-10 centimeters, the plant spends its cultivation on its cultivation, instead of directing it to maturation of the fruit.

There are varieties of tomatoes that give many stepsons, mostly tall ones. And there are those who do not have a lot of stepchildren. Remove stepsons during the entire season, every ten days. Many gardeners prefer to simply gently break the growth with their fingers, leaving the penis in one centimeter. If left large, there is a risk of decay and subsequent damage to the whole plant. If the stump is not left at all, the stepson may again grow in its place.

Pasynkovanie cucumbers

If it is more or less clear with tomatoes, then not all are familiar with how to properly patronize cucumbers. Many do not even know that cucumbers, too, need pasynkovaniya. A pursued goal is the same - an increase in yield. After all, it often happens that we have chic lashes, large and juicy leaves, and the plant does not want to blossom and form an ovary. The reason is the same as with tomatoes. All the forces of the plant, all the nutritious elements go to build up the green mass of the plant, and the fruits of the forces no longer exist.

To help in this situation can pasynkovanie plants. But, unlike a tomato, the stepson should be no more than 3-6 centimeters. It is necessary to dilute it very carefully, trying not to damage the plant, because it is very fragile and juicy.

Pasynkovanie pepper

There are varieties that do not form side shoots. Accordingly, there is nothing to patronize. But there are some that you still have to work with if you want to get a good harvest. Pepper does not tolerate pasyning very well, and so do not get too involved. When the plant reaches a height of 20 centimeters, it is necessary to remove the top and leave only a few upper stepsons, and remove the remaining ones.

Summing up all the above, I want to note that planting plants is a matter of painstaking, but very necessary. So do not be afraid of him. After having mastered it once, you guarantee yourself an excellent harvest every year!
