Vegetable growers, growing tomatoes on their plots, use various fertilizers. The main thing for them is to obtain a rich harvest of environmentally friendly products. Today you can buy any mineral and organic fertilizers. Often gardeners prefer to use the safest options.
For several years now, the Zdraven fertilizer for tomatoes has become popular; reviews from gardeners mostly point to a positive result. Let's look at what fertilizing is and how to use it correctly.
Fertilizer composition
Zdraven Turbo fertilizer is produced in Russia for many vegetable and garden crops, including tomatoes. It balances all the microelements necessary for healthy growth and abundant fruiting.
Fertilizer Zdraven consists of:
- Nitrogen -15%. This element is considered the most important. It is necessary for photosynthesis and is a building material for tomato tissue.
- Phosphorus - 20%. This element synthesizes protein, starch, sucrose, and fats. Responsible for plant growth and helps preserve the varietal properties of tomatoes. With a lack of phosphorus, plants lag behind in development and bloom late.
- Potassium - 15%. Participates in metabolic processes, creates the prerequisites for active growth, and is responsible for the stability of tomatoes in unfavorable conditions.
- Magnesium and sodium humate 2%.
- A large number of microelements, such as boron, manganese, copper, molybdenum. All of them are in the form of chelates, so plants absorb them easily.
The packaging of the fertilizer is different; there are bags of 15 or 30 grams or 150 grams. Long shelf life up to three years. The drug should be stored in a dry, dark place. If not all the fertilizer has been used, it must be poured into a jar with a well-screwed lid.
Advantages
Thanks to the biologically active fertilizer Zdraven, produced at Russian enterprises, tomatoes can more easily withstand stressful situations and sudden temperature changes. This is very important, since most gardeners live in risky farming areas.
Why vegetable growers trust Zdraven fertilizer:
- Tomatoes develop a powerful root system.
- The number of barren flowers decreases, productivity increases.
- The fruits ripen a week earlier.
- Powdery mildew, scab, root rot, and late blight are practically not observed on tomatoes that have been fed starting from seedlings.
- Tomatoes become sweeter, tastier, and contain more vitamins.
The balanced chemical composition of Zdraven fertilizer saves time on preparing solutions by mixing several simple fertilizers.
How to use
Fertilizer Zdraven for tomatoes and peppers, used for root and foliar feeding. The powder dissolves well in water and does not form sediment, so the plant begins to absorb it from the first minute through the root system or leaf blades.
You can work with Zdraven fertilizer after the solution has reached room temperature.
Feeding scheme
- Root feeding of tomatoes begins at the seedling stage. When the tomatoes are 2 weeks old, 15 grams of the substance are dissolved in a 10-liter bucket. This solution is enough for 1.5 square meters.
- The second time is already in a permanent place, when the first buds appear. The consumption rate is the same.
- After this, feed every 3 weeks. If tomatoes grow in open ground, then add 15 grams of the drug to the watering can - this is the norm for one square of planting. For a greenhouse, the concentration of the solution doubles. Some gardeners add urea carbamide when root feeding tomatoes with Zdraven Turbo.
- For foliar feeding, which is carried out twice after planting seedlings in the ground, only 10 grams are needed per 10 liters of water.
Root or foliar feeding of tomatoes is carried out either early in the morning before sunrise, or in the evening.
