INFLUENCE OF GROWTH REGULATORS ON PRODUCTIVITY OF TOMATO

In our country, tomato is second only to cabbage. With each year the specific weight of tomato plants in the production of fruit significantly increases. Nutritional value of them is due to high taste qualities, the presence in their composition of sugar, mineral salts, organic acids and vitamins. Fresh tomatoes and tomato juice are useful in cardiovascular diseases, gastritis, general decline of strength, weakening of memory, anemia. Apply tomato and as a laxative. Kashitsu red tomatoes are applied to the swollen veins. Along with fresh consumption, tomato fruits are used as valuable raw materials in the processing industry. About half of the total harvest of tomatoes is used for processing. In the Central part of the North Caucasus, the most acceptable way of cultivation is seedling. However, the production of seedlings is a difficult and energy-intensive process. When picking and especially when planting seedlings, the root system is damaged. Its volume is reduced by 10-15 times. And during the next 2 weeks plants use accumulated nutrients for survival, which further weakens them. Therefore, the task of obtaining a strong, stable, high-quality seedling, which in the future will ensure the production of high and early harvest volumes is very important. When it grows, it is necessary to protect the culture from possible diseases, first of all, blight, black bacterial stain, and vertex rot - non-infectious and bacterial, which is spread by insects and rain drops. Therefore, an important factor in the high productivity of tomato is the use of growth regulators.
