The feed tomatoes stages

Dressing for tomatoes can be different. It all depends on whether you are a supporter of organic farming or not. In either case, the plants should receive the whole complex of macro- and micronutrients. Used as fertilizer in set doses and organics.

If you are planting tomatoes in the holes you have made all the necessary fertilizers (compost, humus, ash - from organic, or mineral - urea and superphosphate), then to the flowering does not fed plants. And the richer the soil, the fertilizer should be applied less frequently. Consider the article all the stages of fertilizing.

first fertilizing

The first stage dressing - after 10-14 days after planting tomato bushes. During this period, it required a full range of NPK in equal proportions and trace elements. For example, you can buy a set of organic fertilizer "Universal". At all stages of ash can be made (this whole complex elements), in dry form, sprinkling the garden beds and in the ash solution.

Proponents of organic farming is used as a top dressing mullein infusion the initial period of vegetation tomatoes, it is rich in nitrogen and potassium. It contains calcium, phosphorus and trace elements. Dilute infusion mullein with water in a ratio of 1:15. Also prepared in a vat infusion of different grass (green manure) and dilute it to 10 1 (1 L infusion herb in 1 liter of water).

Recommend changing the ground often in the greenhouse, adding a layer of fertile soil 10 cm, thus enriching it with nutrients.

The second top dressing

The second stage - after 2 weeks after the first time made dressing. Tomatoes need at this time phosphorus-potassium fertilizer. During this period tomatoes need to build up a strong root system to shake their roots as much as possible nutrients from the soil. As suitable feeding superphosphate, potassium monophosphate, NPK.

Nitrogen fertilization is carried out only in the case of tomato bushes look frail, for example, podmerzli due to frost, they need to increase vegetative mass.

Strong and powerful plants, nitrogen is not needed. Excessive application of nitrogen fertilizers can lead to a delay in the formation of ovaries, and capacity over the green mass.

Fertilizing during flowering and early fruiting

Contribute to the flowering period and the beginning of formation of ovaries phosphorus-potassium fertilizer. This ash, superphosphate (in a bucket of water is needed 2 tbsp. spoons), potassium sulfate. Of organic - green manure or infusion cow ovaries during the formation of 0.5 liters per bush. If tomatoes tall, it requires up to 1 liter per plant.

Watered nutrient infusion in grooves that dig around the plants. In this case, the root pour fertilizer is not recommended. Before fertilizing the soil is moistened with plain water.

You can not overfeed bush tomatoes, need to withstand periods dressings, or overdose can lead to zhirovaniju tomatoes. The richer the land, the less need fertilizing. If the ground is fertile and well dressed with fertilizer at planting, the tomatoes can be fed only from 2 to 3 times.

Stage mass fruiting

Also phosphorus-potassium fertilizer, to improve the quality of fruits plants are sprayed with a solution of boric acid and iodine.

These elements make the fruit sweeter and tastier, and they increase plant immunity.
