If you want tomatoes to bear more fruits and taste better, you have to put in the effort before sowing. Base fertilizer, as the "first meal" for tomato growth, directly determines whether the root system is strong and whether the yield is high in the later stage. To this end, we will explore the scientific selection principles of tomato base fertilizer and its irreplaceable importance in cultivation management.

First, organic nutrition.

1. Soil Improvement: Tomatoes grow best in loose, breathable soil. Organic fertilizer can break up soil compaction, improve soil aggregate structure, and enhance water and fertilizer retention.

2. Comprehensive nutrition: Organic fertilizer contains nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and a variety of trace elements. The nutrients are released slowly and can continuously provide organic nutrition for tomatoes.

Second, inorganic nutrition

1. Nitrogen Fertilizer for Growth: Tomato seedlings require nitrogen to promote leaf and stem growth. Thick, rich green leaves promote more efficient photosynthesis. However, excessive nitrogen fertilizer can lead to excessive foliage and reduced flowering and fruiting.

2. Phosphorus fertilizer promotes root development: Phosphorus helps promote the development of tomato roots, making the roots deeper and more capable of absorbing fertilizer. When the seedlings have weak roots, phosphorus is an important nutrient to enhance root vitality.

3. Potassium fertilizer makes the fruit bigger: Potassium directly affects the quality of the fruit, including fruit enlargement, increased sweetness and enhanced skin toughness.

4. Medium and trace elements: such as calcium fertilizer, magnesium fertilizer, boron fertilizer, etc., are also indispensable for the healthy growth and quality improvement of tomatoes.

Regarding the application of base fertilizer, we recommend Monband® MBT PULI-KE.
