Fertilising tomato seedlings

Tomatoes are widely consumed throughout the world and their successful cultivation depends largely on the use of quality seedlings. Seedling production often uses substrates, which vary in their capacity to supply nutrients, and fertilisation is necessary. One of the major problems is Zn deficiency, which is commonly associated with high P fertilisation. In order to study the effect of substrate enrichment, continuous fertilisation and the interaction with phosphorus and zinc on the development of tomato seedlings, a greenhouse experiment was conducted and the results of this work are compiled in this book.
