Tomato (protected ground)

Application technology:

1. Seed pre-treatment*. Application rate of the preparation – 50 g of Lignohumate A, AM, or 0.25 l of Lignohumate B, BM per 1 kg of seeds. Seed treatment (soaking for up to 10-12 hours) by a Lignohumate solution with consumption rate of 3 l per 1 kg of seeds. Combination with protectants or bio-preparations is recommended.

2. Watering of seedlings The preparation is applied at the seedling phase while still in the sprouter or at the moment of planting the seedlings into the open ground: to be added into water or into fertilizer solutions. Lignohumate solution concentration – 0.01% or 10 g of Lignohumate A, AM, or 0.05 l of Lignohumate B, BM per 100 l of watering solution.

3. Foliar dressing during the phase when 1 to 3 regular leaves are grown. Lignohumate solution concentration – 0.05% or 50 g of Lignohumate A, AM, or 0.25 l of Lignohumate B, BM per 100 l of water. Standard or low-capacity sprayers can be used.

4. Foliar dressing at the budding phase and later during blooming of 1^st and 2^nd bunch of flowers. Lignohumate solution concentration – 0.05% or 50 g of Lignohumate A, AM, or 0.25 l of Lignohumate B, BM per 100 l of water. Standard or low-capacity sprayers can be used.

5. Foliar dressing at early ripening. Lignohumate solution concentration – 0.05% or 50 g of Lignohumate A, AM, or 0.25 l of Lignohumate B, BM per 100 l of water. Standard or low-capacity sprayers can be used. It is recommended to apply Lignohumate in a mixture with protectors and soluble fertilizers.

6. If an irrigation system is used, then the preparation is to be applied with water several times per season. Lignohumate solution concentration – 0.01% or 10 g of Lignohumate A, AM, or 0.05 l of Lignohumate B, BM per 100 l of watering solution. If drip irrigation is used, then the preparation is to be applied at the last or last-but-one watering 1 time each 7-10 days. Lignohumate solution concentration – 0.01% or 10 g of Lignohumate A, AM, or 0.05 l of Lignohumate B, BM per 100 l of watering solution.

Thus, thanks to the above described properties we have:

- increased crop yield;

- earlier and more profitable crop;

- better merchantability of the crop (better evenness of fruit);

- crop quality improvement (higher sugar content, but a smaller % of nitrates and heavy metal salts).

By virtue of its physiological requirements it is most preferable to apply to Tomato a sodium form with addition of a set of microelements.

* - only if seeds are not incrusted or pelletized.
