Boosting your tomato harvest doesn’t necessitate more branches; it’s about supplying the correct nutrients. Employ this organic leaf fertilizer to significantly improve your tomato output this season!
Throughout the blossoming phase, tomato plants require ample trace elements like iodine and boron, essential for both quality and quantity, while serving as a preemptive measure against diverse plant ailments.
Components:
9 liters of rainwater
1 liter of dairy
½ teaspoon of boric acid, dissolved in a small quantity of hot water
10 droplets of iodine
Formulation and Utilization:
Heat the water and dairy in a pot, then transfer the concoction to a sprayer. Dissolve the boric acid in a small quantity of hot water (as it doesn’t dissolve well in cold water) and add it to the milky solution. Integrate the iodine and mix the solution thoroughly. For optimal outcomes, administer the spray early in the morning when the sunlight is not overly intense. Refrain from midday and hot days, as intense sunlight may potentially damage the plants. Concentrate on the upper portion of the plant during spraying, where flowers and fresh shoots are situated, as this is the region where the plant requires the most boron.
In general, it’s advisable to fertilize your tomatoes three times: at the initiation of shoot growth, throughout the blossoming phase, and when the fruits commence appearing. Boric acid encourages flowering, shields against plant ailments, and averts flower drop. A deficit of boron can result in the yellowing of tomato roots, leading to leaf loss and the eventual demise of the plant.
Iodine is equally vital, stimulating flowering, enhancing nitrogen metabolism, and diminishing the risk of root rot.
