How to feed seedlings in the early stages of development
You can stimulate the growth of tomatoes even before planting - aloe juice will help you with this. To prepare the nutritional composition, the lower leaves of the aloe must be cut off, kept in the refrigerator for about 12 hours, and then squeezed. Fruit seeds should be soaked in the resulting solution, sown without washing off the juice.
The next feeding is carried out after the tomato sprouts have tied their first leaves. During this period, seedlings need a large amount of phosphorus and nitrogen, the lack of these substances will help to fill in such means as "Uniflor-growth", "Kemira-Lux", "Solution". The listed compositions are used dissolved in water, a teaspoon of fertilizer per 5 liters of liquid is usually more than enough.
After completing the picking procedure, the plant can be fed with a solution of "Uniflor-Bud" (a teaspoon per 2 liters of water). During the growing season, the shrub will benefit from a remedy called "Zircon". In 10 liters of water, 1 milliliter of this drug is diluted.
What means will help increase yields
With the means described below, the plant should be fed no more than three times per season; two-week breaks must be taken between treatments.
- A solution of superphosphate (20 grams), potassium chloride (15 grams) and urea (10 grams). Substances in the indicated quantities must be dissolved in 10 liters of water.
