Key points for attention in fertilization of Tomato

Tomato is the most common vegetable in our life, and its yield is affected by many factors, among which fertilization is the most critical point. Many people don't know much about tomato fertilization. So what should we pay attention to when fertilizing tomatoes? Let's get to know it with the editor.

1. Control the amount of fertilizer application

In the stage from tomato planting to fruit setting, fertilization should be based on the actual situation of the seedlings, and the amount of fertilizer should be controlled. if fertilization is too much and too concentrated, it will lead to excessive growth of seedlings, and even cause plants to fall flowers and fruits. Therefore, in this stage, in addition to the particularly fertilizer-deficient plants, it is generally necessary to control the amount of fertilizer application, you can apply a little thin manure or organic fertilizer solution, do not apply a large amount of fertilizer.

2. Promote plant growth.

Fertilization should be applied frequently in the young fruit stage and harvest period of tomato to promote plant growth and development. when the ear fruit grows to the size of walnut, quick-acting fertilizer should be applied 1-2 times in time to meet the nutrient demand of the plant. At the same time, we should also pay attention to the fertilizer concentration, so as to avoid fertilizer damage caused by excessive fertilizer concentration. Generally, 30% human feces and urine or 5% sulfur compound fertilizer leaching solution is applied to ensure that the plant does not lose fertilizer. In the fruit expansion period, in order to meet the needs of the later stage of the plant, but also to avoid premature senescence caused by de-fertilization, flower and fruit protection fertilizer should be applied in time, generally every 10 days to apply 40% concentration of human feces and urine or 5% sulfur compound fertilizer leaching solution.

3. Spraying foliar fertilizer

Tomato not only absorbs nutrients from roots, but also absorbs mineral nutrients from its leaves to promote the growth and development of fruits and seeds. Especially in the later stage, the root absorption decreased, so foliar fertilizer should be sprayed 2 times in time during the fruit growing period. It can be sprayed with organic fertilizer solution or a variety of trace elements to improve the yield and quality of tomatoes.

4. Taboos on fertilization

Topdressing tomato fertilizer should not be carried out under the condition of wet soil and high temperature at noon, and centralized fertilization is avoided, which can easily lead to overgrowth and fertilizer damage. Fertilization in high soil moisture is easy to cause physiological diseases such as flower and fruit drop, while fertilization in high temperature will make the plant leaf water evaporation, which will greatly affect the volatilization of fertilizer efficiency.
