If you have planted tomatoes, you will notice that there are many white small hairs on the tomatoes (scientific name is sticky gland hair). How much do you know about the little secret in the white fluff of this tomato? Why do tomatoes have these hairs? Nong Xiaobian wants to tell you that these tiny hairs play a very important role in tomatoes.
Tomatoes cover sticky glandular hairs. Sometimes it makes you think tomatoes are blurry. In the photo below, you can see the smooth lines of long sticky glandular hairs protruding around the stem. But there are also super small ones that look more like small bubbles that cover the surface of the tomato. These bubbles actually inhabit the superfine mucinous glandular hairs. These tiny sticky glandular hairs secrete essential oils, giving the tomatoes a wonderful scent. It is this smell that is killing some pests. Tomatoes can be manipulated by altering the compounds within their glandular glandular hairs in an attempt to block its organisms that may want to forage. Pests find the smell of essential oils, and the oil that the insects hate will not be interested in tomatoes.
In fact, not only the branches, the leaves of the tomatoes, but also the sticky glandular hairs of the fruits, in addition to secreting oil, these sticky glandular hairs can also collect dew and form a barrier against bacterial, fungal and viral infections.
It is important to understand the role of glandular glands in order to be cautious and not to damage this protective layer. Especially when trimming tomatoes. Although tomatoes can repair themselves, bacteria can still infect tomatoes through wounds. The wound is not protected until it becomes a scar.
If you are taking care of your tomatoes, you will find that your finger starts to yellow and slowly turns black. It happens when you plant, trim, bundle or harvest. The more time you spend on tomatoes, the more solid the blocks will be formed at your fingertips.
This is the oil secreted by these mucin gland hairs. Stick to your fingers and nails. They are very sticky and will not be easily rubbed off. If you are familiar with this thing, you also know that hand-washing soap seems to just slide on it. That is because these compounds are not water soluble. And don't wipe it off with a towel, as it will stain them! è¯€çª Use a lot of hand sanitizer and really wipe it clean. Do it again when it is dry. Then wash your hands with soap and water. The alcohol in the hand lotion dissolves the oil and it is easier to wash your hands with soap and water.
