Tomato Fertilisers / Fertilizers - NPK - Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus(P), Potassium (K)
Tomato fertilizers are designed to provide essential nutrients that tomatoes need for healthy growth and high yields. Fertilizers typically contain a mix of macronutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium) and micronutrients (calcium, magnesium, sulfur, and trace elements). Understanding the role of these ingredients helps in choosing the right fertilizer for your tomato plants.
Phosphorus
Phosphorus is a critical nutrient for root development, flowering, and fruiting in plants.
NPK Recipe for Tomato Plant Flowering
During the flowering stage of tomato growth, the focus shifts from leafy growth to flower and fruit development. At this stage, tomatoes require less nitrogen (N) and more phosphorus (P) and potassium (K).
NPK Recipe for Tomato Vegetative Growth
During the vegetative growth stage, tomatoes need more nitrogen to promote healthy leaf and stem development.
