What fertilizer is good for tomatoes during the fruiting period and how to fertilize

1. What kind of fertilizer is good to apply during the fruiting period

Tomatoes require more potassium fertilizer during the fruiting period, so it is necessary to apply some compound fertilizers high in potassium to replenish the required nutrients in time and achieve better results. Note that it is best to water the plants appropriately after fertilizing. This will dilute the fertilizer, allowing the plants to absorb it faster and avoid fertilizer damage. In addition to applying fertilizer during the fruiting period, you also need to water frequently. The amount of water consumed at this time is also relatively large. Each time you water it thoroughly to replenish the required moisture.

2. How to fertilize

1. Apply base fertilizer: For crops that require a lot of fertilizer, you must apply enough base fertilizer when planting. 5000-6000 kg of farmyard manure, 10 kg of urea and ammonium phosphate, and 80 kg of superphosphate should be applied per mu, and all should be applied at one time.

2. Top dressing in stages: Top dressing should be carried out in time during the growth stage. Generally, growth can be resumed one week after the value is set. At this time, farmyard manure should be applied to promote faster growth of seedlings. When the first bunch of fruits begins to swell, apply organic fertilizer, and apply nitrogen fertilizer when harvesting. This will also be beneficial to the growth of the second and third bunches of fruits.

3. Apply foliar fertilizer: During the management period, not only granular fertilizer should be applied, but also foliar fertilizer should be applied in time. It should be sprayed twice during the seedling stage, once in the seedling stage and the other time in the strong seedling stage. Spray once every 7-10 days, for two consecutive times. This can replenish the nutrients consumed by the seedlings in time, which is conducive to flowering and fruiting.
