Yeast is quite a common product for our diet. We regularly eat it in baked goods, bread, kvass, as well as many other foods. In fact, yeasts are fungi rich in protein, iron, macro- and microelements and amino acids.
Did you know? Yeast is an excellent source of many natural bacteria that can accelerate the intensity of the development of plants and are a natural stimulant of their immunity.Recently, yeast is increasingly used as a fertilizer for tomatoes. What is the secret of mushrooms, traditionally used for baking, and how to use fertilizers with yeast - these and many other questions we will try to find answers in this article.
The use of yeast in the garden
More recently, plant yeast yeast was used only for feeding potatoes and tomatoes. But over time, it turned out that the use of yeast as fertilizer is effective for all types of garden crops. If you are interested in questions about how to feed tomatoes with yeast and how to fertilize tomatoes with yeast, then carefully read this article.
Important! Remember: during the preparation of yeast top dressing it is impossible to use too hot water, as it will kill the fungus, which will make the fertilizer absolutely useless.Feeding plants with yeast is effective at all stages of development, but the seedlings especially need it, since during this period it is most important to plant as many useful substances as possible in the sprouts, which will contribute to a more qualitative and intensive development of their land part and roots.
The use of fertilizers for tomatoes with yeast contributes to their more generous fruiting. Feeding seedlings of tomatoes with yeast can not only save money on the purchase of expensive chemical fertilizers, but also significantly shorten the growing season, accelerate flowering and fruit ripening, which will allow much earlier harvest. In addition, the feeding of tomatoes with yeast affects the sweetness of tomatoes, which makes it possible to produce tomatoes with higher taste and aromatic characteristics for plant growing.
Yeast as fertilizer: the timing of feeding
When introduced into the soil, yeast-containing fungi improve its structure, activate the activity of soil bacteria, create a more favorable environment for their life, and promote better processing of organic matter and more intensive release of nitrogen and potassium.
Benefits of feeding tomatoes in greenhouse and on open ground yeast:
- increase seedling endurance;
- excellent sprout development even in low light conditions;
- reduction of their vegetative phase;
- enhanced root formation;
- more generous flowering and abundant fruiting;
- shortening the time of harvest.
Important! When feeding plants with yeast, it is not recommended to jointly introduce them with manure, bird droppings and chopped grass, as this will reduce the effectiveness of the action of fungi.
Nutrients introduced into the ground are enough for sprouts for a maximum of two months. Tomatoes are poured over with yeast once every 30 days, and no more than three supplements are carried out per season. If you reduce the concentration of the top-dressing solution, you can enter it a little more often. After the first injection, a positive result can be seen on the third day, but it is still not recommended to abuse fertilizers.How to cook fertilizer for tomatoes
Yeast top dressing is a fairly effective fertilizer for tomatoes, but in order to achieve maximum results, you need to know the exact recipe for its preparation.
It will take you no more than 15 minutes to prepare the fertilizer. Yeast for feed can be taken both alcoholic and dry. In addition, for the preparation of fertilizers, you can use bread or crackers, also suitable loaves or yeast pies.
Did you know? In the 70s of the last century, plant growers of the post-Soviet space invented a recipe for making yeast pods, but after the appearance of various chemical fertilizers on the crop market, interest in it slightly subsided.To prepare the solution, you will need to take 10 liters of warm water, 10 grams of dry yeast, 0.5 liters of ash and 75 grams of sugar. We mix everything and let it stand for 10-15 minutes. But in this form the solution can not be used. It is necessary to take 1 liter of concentrated yeast feed and dilute it again in 10 liters of warm water. The solution can be poured at the very root, as it does not contain any hazardous ingredients that can cause root burn.
The traditional recipe for yeast dressing is somewhat different from the first. To prepare this type of fertilizer, you need to take 1 kilogram of alcohol (wet) yeast and dissolve them in 5 liters of warm water. Pure feed is not used in pure form, but diluted in a ratio of 1 x 10 with warm clean water.
Did you know? Excellent results in the cultivation of tomatoes can be achieved by adding beer to the bushes, but this is too expensive, and therefore this drink can be replaced with Baker's yeast.Also, gardeners often prepare the brew on the basis of yeast, it significantly improves the appearance of plants and increases the intensity of their development. To prepare the mash, you need to take 100 grams of alcohol yeast and 100 grams of sugar, then dissolve all in three liters of warm water. Cover the container with fertilizer gauze and leave in a warm place for 7 days. To water the plants, we dilute a glass of a forage in 10 liters of warm water and pour no more than one liter under each plant.
How to fertilize tomatoes with yeast: we study the nuances
Let's take a look at how to water the tomatoes with yeast correctly. For young tomatoes half a liter is enough, and an adult bush should receive at least 2 liters of feed at a time.
The first feeding of seedlings of tomatoes should be carried out after picking a week later. Feeding seedlings of tomatoes after picking allows you to accelerate the growth rate of seedlings, improve the development of the roots and their ground part. The second time its introduction is carried out before the start of flowering pets. It was experimentally proved that the roots of seedlings that receive yeast food are formed two weeks earlier, and their number is ten times more.
Remember!
- Yeast are active in a warm environment, therefore, the application of top-dressing should be carried out in well-heated soil.
- For the introduction of used only freshly prepared solution.
- It is not recommended to apply yeast fertilizers too often.
- Feeding with yeast should be combined with the introduction of ash, it will compensate for the lack of potassium and calcium, which are actively absorbed during the fermentation process.
