Compound Fertilizers
Compound fertilizers contain several macronutrients and often micronutrients as well. They facilitate comprehensive fertilization of tomatoes and reduce the risk of accidentally omitting any of the nutrients. When choosing a compound fertilizer, it’s important to consider not only the amount of each nutrient but also their relative proportions. Compare the composition of NPK and micronutrients with the soil’s needs to avoid reapplying a nutrient that is already present in sufficient quantities.
