In many cases, the beginning of fruit formation on tomato bushes occurs in mid-summer.

During this period, the plant needs two important microelements at once. We are talking about potassium and phosphorus.

But you can’t overdo it with the nitrogen component.

On the contrary, its content in the fertilizers used should be minimal, reminds the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", scientist-agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .

There is a super remedy: if you feed tomatoes with it in the middle of summer, the harvest will pleasantly surprise the gardener with its abundance and quality.
