Tomato

Tomatoes are the most valuable garden crop, popular in many countries both in intensive greenhouse farming and in open ground.

Peculiarities

One of few vegetable crops that grows without problems on acidic soils. Being a short daylight crop, tomatoes react to the lack of long, that is, red and orange rays of light, by stretching the stems and shoots and falling off the brushes and inflorescences, which affects the final yield.

 

Tomatoes are one of the most labor-intensive crops, requiring constant attention and many agricultural practices to form the most productive plant. The culture is moisture-loving, responds to abundant watering and moistened loose humus.

Soil feeding with SatoSoil® improvers has proven itself well, diminishing the mobility of nitrogen fertilizers and converting phosphorus into a more accessible form for plants, which contributes to the thermoregulation of the upper soil layer.

 

Sowing of tomatoes is traditionally performed in seedlings, with intermediate repotting that is, transplanting germinated seedlings into larger containers or cassettes. Seed disinfection is recommended to be carried out with the disinfectant Sato® Seeds with humic and fulvic acids, and seedlings to germinate before repotting is better on Sato® Pills peat-sapropel tablets.

 

During the entire growing cycle, tomatoes need specific macro and micro nutrition, a certain mode of oxygen and carbon dioxide supply, and moisture access. Tomatoes are vulnerable to potassium, calcium, zinc, boron, magnesium and sulfur deficiencies during plumping and fruiting. Potassium humates and formulations with amino acids and secondary micronutrients SatoHum® nourish plants in critical phases of weight gain, extend plant protection against pathogens.

WARNING: 4 Sato® Steps is a comprehensive crop care system. There are basic crop needs for the main 12 macro, meso and micronutrients, so for an optimal growing cycle and unlocking the potential of each crop, a balanced diet and timely fertilization are necessary.

 

SOILS: When pre-sowing SatoSoil® soil improvers, the minimum rate indicated in the table is applied. When autumn incorporation, the maximum rate indicated in the table is used. When applying SatoGrow® biostimulants after SatoSoil® soil improvers, the minimum rate is applied. If the soil has not been dressed, root incorporation of the maximum rate is allowed.

 

SEEDS/SEEDLINGS/VEGETATION BEGINNING: Treatment of seeds and seedlings with Sato® Seeds compound is compatible with treatment by classical protectants without reducing the rates of their application, and helps to increase the viability of seedlings, the development of the plant and its fruitfulness. When germinating seeds/seedlings in Sato® Pills, it is recommended to use a minimum dose of SatoGrow® biostimulants.

 

GROWTH: Our SatoHum® solutions have a guaranteed composition with high content of humic and fulvic acids with amino acids of plant origin, so their application rates are significantly lower than those on the market. It is not recommended to exceed the total dose of SatoHum® liquid formulations over 6 l/ha/season. If SatoHum® Potassium soap is used for prophylactic purposes, it is recommended to apply the minimum dose. If treatment is carried out to fight active pathogens/parasites, the dose indicated in the Product sheet for the specific pest shall be applied.

 

HARVEST: Simultaneous fertilization with several SatoHum® products is not expected. It is not recommended to exceed the specified application rates. For single, not systemic application of SatoHum® products, the maximum dosage of the product is recommended.
