Recipes for top dressing from yeast for seedlings of tomatoes and peppers

A rich and healthy harvest of tomatoes is the main goal of all summer residents. To achieve it, it is necessary to grow strong seedlings, plant them in the ground in time and take care of the correct development of the bush. Fertilizing vegetable crops is as important as regular watering and pruning. One of the more popular fertilizer recipes for tomatoes, cucumbers and bell peppers is a yeast-based solution.

Why is yeast used for the preparation of fertilizers? They are a rich source of protein, minerals, trace elements, amino acids and organic iron. In addition, yeast is an organic product. After applying fertilizers based on them to the soil, you can not worry about the health of households who have eaten ripe home tomatoes.

The benefits of yeast fertilizers

Feeding with a yeast solution of tomatoes and bell peppers promotes:

• acceleration of the growth of young seedlings and the growth of green mass of the planted bush;
• development of the root system: root formation increases by an average of 5 times compared to an ordinary bush (a powerful root system is the key to a strong aboveground part and a rich fruit ovary);
• increasing the endurance of adult plants (they are easier to tolerate drought or abundant watering);
• strengthening seedlings (it tolerates picking and planting in open ground better).

For the preparation of solutions, dry and fresh yeast can be used. In order for the fertilizer to be extremely beneficial, it is necessary to take into account the characteristics of the plant and the proportions during the preparation of the solution. The yeast mixture contains active ingredients. In warm and moist soil, fungi begin to actively develop. In the process of their reproduction, nitrogen and potassium are released, enriching the soil. This has a beneficial effect on the health of the planted crops.

Most popular recipes

There are several options for preparing solutions with yeast. Some of them are prepared with the addition of other organic substances that are good for tomatoes: wheat, nettle, hops, chicken droppings and sugar.

We offer the most popular recipes for yeast fertilizer for tomatoes.

1. Fresh Yeast Feeding Recipe. You will need a 200-gram pack of fresh (live) yeast. Take it out of the refrigerator or freezer ahead of time. Dissolve the softened mass in a liter jar of warm water. The solution should stand in a warm place for 3 hours. After the specified time, you can prepare the fertilizer. The resulting concentrate is mixed with warm settled water in a ratio of 1:10.
2. Fertilizer recipe with baker's dry yeast. Dissolve the contents of two standard 7 g sachets in a bucket of warm water. Add a third of a glass of sugar to the solution immediately. Due to the added sugar, yeast will ferment faster. Watering can be carried out only after dilution with water in a ratio of 1: 5.
3. Recipe for feeding tomatoes with grass. To prepare a 50 liter barrel, you will need 1 bucket of freshly cut grass (plantain or nettle) or hops. It is hops that are considered the ideal greens for fertilizing tomatoes. It promotes the release of nitrogen. Add 2.5 packs of fresh softened yeast and a loaf of white bread to the herbal mass. Pour the ingredients with settled or rain water and leave for 2 days.
4. Recipe with milk (only homemade product can be used). Mix the concentrate of fresh or dry yeast (see the first or second recipe) with warm homemade milk in a 1: 5 ratio. Insist 3 hours. The resulting milk mixture is diluted with water in a ratio of 1:10 and watering is carried out.
5. Fertilizer recipe with chicken droppings.For cooking, mix 1/3 cup of sugar, ½ pack of live yeast, 2 cups of ash and 2 cups of chicken manure. The mass should be infused for 2 hours. After the start of fermentation, it is dissolved in 10 liters of water.

Advice

Do not use tap water to water the tomatoes. The culture does not tolerate chlorine.

Top dressing of tomato seedlings

Growing seedlings is a complex and painstaking process. The seeds are planted in special peat cups (you can use small plastic containers). Through time a pick is made (transplanting into larger pots). Only a couple of months later, the raised sprouts are transferred to open ground. Tomato seedlings need abundant watering and fertilization for quick adaptation to new growing conditions.

The first feeding is carried out on the third day after planting the seedlings in the ground. Remember to dissolve the prepared concentrates. Top dressing is applied at the root (except for a mixture with the addition of chicken droppings - such fertilizer is applied around tomato seedlings 10 cm from the root).

All gardeners are afraid to introduce untested components, fearing to destroy barely matured shoots. An experiment can be carried out to verify the benefits of the proposed feeding. Select two separate tomato bushes at the edge of the garden bed and add the yeast solution under the root. Do not forget about regular watering, and the result will not keep you waiting. You will notice that the stem of the experimental tomatoes is stronger, the leaves are bright green and fleshy. In addition, top dressing provides protection against garden fungal diseases.

Top dressing of bell pepper seedlings

Unlike tomatoes, pepper seedlings are capricious and fastidious. Pepper needs calcium to develop and grow. Feeding with yeast infusions contributes to the saturation of the soil with oxygen, potassium and nitrogen. However, during the multiplication of microorganisms, the earth loses calcium. Feeding with yeast mixtures can be carried out only after applying ash or an ash solution under the root of pepper seedlings. After this, the plants need to be watered abundantly so that the ash is absorbed into the soil.

Top dressing of bell peppers is carried out on the second or third day after planting the seedlings in the ground. Do not forget to respect the proportions when diluting the prepared concentrates. Top dressing is applied only in warm weather, so that microorganisms develop faster in the ground. Fertilizer helps to strengthen the root system. After adding the solution, irrigate with warm, settled water.

The suggested recipes can be used to fertilize tomatoes and peppers in greenhouses and outdoors. Fertilization will not make you wait long for the result, garden crops grow "by leaps and bounds": there is a strengthening of the stems and an increase in green mass. A strong bush is able to please the owners with a rich harvest.
