The invention relates to agriculture, in particular to methods for growing tomatoes of hydroponics methods. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION: A method for growing tomatoes using the multi-stage hydroponics method involves planting seedlings in cultivating vessels. According to the invention, after the beginning of fruiting, the lower part of the stem is drawn into the soil for a length of no more than 0.7 times the distance from the soil to the crown of the tomato, grabbing the plant by the root and extending it to the bottom of the vessels, and this operation is repeated cyclically after growing the stem by at least The length of a part of the stem pulled into the soil in the previous cycle. After 10-14 days after the retraction of the lower part of the stem into the soil, a part of the root equal in length to the retracted part of the stem is removed.
DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The invention relates to agriculture, namely to methods of growing plants (in particular, tomatoes by the method of hydroponics).
A method for growing tomatoes by the method of multi-tiered hydroponics is known, including the planting of seedlings in cultivating vessels (Authors of the USSR Academy of Sciences No. 281944, cl. A 01 G 31/00, 1970).
This method requires the replacement of plants after the end of harvesting, planting seeds or seedlings, which allows for the continuity of the collection of fruits, as well as increased productivity.
The object of the invention is to ensure the continuity of the collection of tomato fruit, and to increase the productivity of the hydroponic plant, the yield of tomatoes.
To this end, in the method of growing tomatoes by the method of multi-tiered hydroponics, including planting seedlings in cultivating vessels, according to the invention, after the beginning of fruiting, the lower part of the stem is drawn into the soil for a length of not more than 0.7 from the soil to the crown of the tomato, grabbing the plant by the root and extending the last Into the bottom holes of the cultivating vessels, and this operation is repeated cyclically after the growth of the stem by an amount not less than the length of the part of the stem retracted into the soil in the previous cycle.
In a preferred embodiment of the method, the lower part of the stem is drawn into the soil, 0.5 times the distance from the soil to the crown of the tomato.
After 10-14 days after the retraction of the lower part of the stem into the soil, a part of the root is removed, equal in length to the part of the stem retracted into the soil.
This operation allows a "continuous" method of growing a plant and collecting fruits from it. During the experiment it was shown that each "new" part of the stem in the proposed method develops as an independent plant and passes through the same phases of development and at the same time as individual plants. Thus, the proposed method allows "continuously" harvesting from the same plant without its replacement.
The proposed method for growing tomatoes by the method of multi-tiered hydroponics, including planting of seedlings in cultivating vessels, differs from the known (prototype) in that after the beginning of fruiting, the lower part of the stem is drawn into the soil for a distance of not more than 0.7 from the soil to the crown of tomato, Root and stretching the latter into the bottom openings of cultivating vessels, and this operation is repeated cyclically after the growth of the stem by an amount not less than the length of a part of the stem drawn into the soil in the previous cycle. Thus, the proposed method satisfies the criterion of patentability of the invention "novelty".
From the state of the art, the expert clearly does not follow the influence of these features on the achievement of the technical effect - increasing the productivity of the hydroponic plant and the yield of the cultivated tomatoes, which makes it possible to conclude that the proposed solution meets the criterion of patentability of the invention "inventive step".
The invention can be used in agriculture and allows increasing the yield and productivity of the hydroponic installation. Thus, the proposed satisfies the criterion of patentability of the invention "industrial applicability".
The invention is illustrated by means of the drawings (Fig. 1 3).

In Fig. 1 shows the first (initial) stage of growing a tomato plant according to the proposed method.
The tomato seedlings are planted in soil-filled cultivating pots 1 with these openings and placed on the trays of the hydroponic installation (not shown in the drawing). Tomato plants have a stem 2, a crown 3, a root part 4 of which is located inside the pot 1 and part 5 outside the pot 1. The root passes through this opening of the pot 1.
H 1 denotes the length of part 5 of the root; H 2 the length of part 4 of the root; H 3 distance from soil to crown of tomato; H 4 crown height. From Fig. 1 it can be seen that the distance from the soil to the crown of the tomato is taken as the distance from the soil to the first shoot.
After the beginning of the fruiting, the lower part of the stem is drawn into the soil, the length of which should not be more than 0.7 of the distance h 3 , grasping the plants for part 5 of the root. The result of this reception is shown in FIG. 2. In this particular embodiment of the method, the lower part of the stem 2 was drawn into the soil at a distance of 0.5 h 3 . The lower part 5 of the root increased by 0.4 h 3 . The soil 6, which fell out from the holes of the pots 1, is returned to the pots 1.
In Fig. 3 shows the same plant after 10-14 days after drawing the lower part of the stem into the soil with the appearance of a root system on it and after removing a part of the root equal in length to the part of the stem drawn into the soil (0.5h 3 = 0.4h 2 ). As can be seen from Fig. 3, the height of the crown increased. The bottom part 7 of the crown is removed. Here, as shown in Fig. 3, a part of the stem entangled in the soil took root. Thus, externally, the plant returned to the state depicted in FIG. 1. In this case, the crown top, equal in length to 0.5 h 3, will be more "young" than the rest of the crown and will bear fruit after a certain time again. After the beginning of fruiting, the operation is repeated, etc. Thus, a "continuous" method for growing tomato is carried out.
The productivity of the hydroponic plant and the yield of tomatoes are increased due to the lack of the need for plant changes.
