During fruit formation and filling the plant works for the future harvest. It is in this period that fruits actively grow, gain mass and form their key quality indicators: firmness, marketable appearance and shelf life.
What is important not to miss?
At this time tomatoes are especially sensitive to calcium deficiency, which can lead to blossom end rot. Fluctuations in moisture often cause fruit cracking, and weakened plants become more vulnerable to bacterioses and late blight.
What is worth applying right now?
- ECOLINE Calcium-Boron (Chelates) (3.0–4.0 l/ha) — calcium in the form of a 100% EDTA chelate is quickly absorbed by the plant, strengthens cell walls, helps prevent blossom end rot, reduces the risk of cracking and improves the firmness and transportability of fruits.
- ECOLINE Phosphite (K-Amino) (1.5–3.0 l/ha) — the combination of phosphite phosphorus, potassium and amino acids works in several directions at once: it activates the plant's natural defense mechanisms against late blight and bacterioses, helps it recover faster after stress, and potassium promotes the formation of quality fruits and the accumulation of dry matter in them.
- GROS Health (1.0–2.0 l/ha) — a universal anti-stress product with 12% L-α-amino acids that supports active metabolism and helps the plant recover faster after heat and pesticide treatments.
