Greenhouse Tomatoes
BENEFITS FOR GREENHOUSE TOMATOES INCLUDE:
- Better rooting
- Improved nutrient levels
- Increased fruit number
- Enhanced size and quality
- Higher yield
SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN, FIELD-TESTED SOLUTIONS
INCREASED FRUIT NUMBER
GREENHOUSE TOMATO TRIAL ‘PICCOLO F1’
PARANÁ FEDERAL UNIVERSITY (UFPR), BRAZIL
Treating greenhouse tomato plants with APH™ seaweed extract every two weeks resulted in 14.7% more fruit per plant.
HYDROPONIC CHERRY TOMATO TRIAL ‘AMSTERDAM’
NOVA SCOTIA, CANADA
Total fruit collected per plant at the first harvest.
Hydroponically grown tomatoes produced 9.5% more total fruit when APH™ seaweed extract was added to the solution with every fertilizer treatment (at hourly intervals from ½ hour after sunrise to ½ hour before sunset).
IMPROVED QUALITY
HYDROPONIC CHERRY TOMATO TRIAL ‘AMSTERDAM’
NOVA SCOTIA, CANADA
Fruit wall thickness increased 13.4% with the addition of APH™ seaweed extract to the standard hydroponic fertilizer treatment. Wall thickness is an indication of tomato’s quality.
IMPROVED YIELD
HYDROPONIC CHERRY TOMATO TRIAL ‘AMSTERDAM’
NOVA SCOTIA, CANADA
Adding APH™ seaweed extract to the standard hydroponic application program resulted in an average yield increase of 8.1%.
GREENHOUSE TOMATO TRIAL ‘PICCOLO F1’
PARANÁ FEDERAL UNIVERSITY (UFPR), BRAZIL
Similar results were reported from a university trial in Brazil. The yield per plant increased by close to 12% when our seaweed extract was added to the standard fertilizer and protection program.
APPLICATION PROGRAM FOR GREENHOUSE TOMATOES
For best results, apply APH™ seaweed extract solution as soil/drench every 2 weeks.
For hydroponic production with Dosatron system:
Inject APH™ seaweed extract in the premix system at the end of irrigation. Make injections every 10 days. The concentration of the seaweed extract depends on the surface area and the number of plants.
For hydroponic production with A, B, C tank system:
Add APH™ seaweed extract to the tank with nutrients but not to the tank with calcium nitrate (often tank B). This method is appropriate if the tanks are renewed every 3 days.
