Soluble food for tomatoes, peppers. Courgettes, aubergines and soft fruit, producing bigger and better quality fruit.

Tomato plants are greedy feeders, requiring a continuous supply of nourishment. Chempak Tomato Food is specifically formulated with essential nutrients, in the correct balance, for heavier cropping of top quality fruit. Added trace elements play a vital role. Magnesium aids fruit setting and keeps the foliage healthy; iron and manganese give colour, flavour and finish; calcium helps prevent blossom end rot.

Where to use:
Can be used in the greenhouse or outdoors in pots, grow bags or soil grown.

How to use:
Use as a liquid feed. Dissolve 2 measures (two level teaspoonfuls) of Chempak Tomato Food in 10 litres (approx. 2 gallons) of water. Stir until dissolved. Small residues caused by hard water should be ignored. For best results thoroughly soak the soil or compost around each plant.

How often to use:
Early feeding is recommended for the biggest crops. The rate of feeding should be increased as growth proceeds;
1st truss stage – feed weekly
2nd truss stage – feed twice weekly
3rd truss stage – feed at every watering


Watering:
Never allow tomato plants to dry out or fruit quality will suffer.

Other crops:
Chempak Tomato Food is a high potash formulation which makes it ideal for other crops such as peppers, aubergines, melons, courgettes, marrows, strawberries and soft fruit. Use at two teaspoonfuls to 10 litres (approx. 2 gallons) of water, once a week from first fruit set. Increase to twice a week once picking commences.
