Yeast-based tomato fertilizer – an effective recipe

Experienced gardeners add specialized organic solutions to tomato fertilizers, which contain all the necessary minerals for future vegetables. Yeast fertilizer can also be used. This recipe originated in Soviet times, but is still relevant today.

The beneficial properties of yeast supplements

Yeast has been known for many years as an excellent fertilizer for virtually all garden plants. It's also excellent for tomatoes. Yeast contains a balanced content of proteins, carbohydrates, minerals, vitamins, and beneficial bacteria.

The organic iron they contain helps boost the plant's immune defenses. Therefore, using yeast accelerates crop maturation and yield. This fertilizer helps achieve excellent results at all stages of plant development.

This yeast-based solution is especially effective for tomato seedlings. During the growth and development stages, the yeast will nourish the tomatoes with essential micronutrients. Cell division, and therefore the development of the root system and the above-ground portion of the tomato plant, will accelerate.

Experience shows that tomatoes treated with this fertilizer tolerated transplanting more easily, established themselves more quickly, and did not overgrow prematurely. The recipe is simple, and even an inexperienced person can prepare the fertilizer.

Yeast fertilizer has the following advantages:

• the growth of plants is significantly revived;
• natural immunity becomes stronger;
• the yield increases due to the formation of a large number of future buds;
• more active flowering is observed;
• the fruiting process is accelerated.

The final effect is highly effective. Yeast feeding is comparable to complex mineral fertilizers in its impact on growing plants.

Moreover, if tomatoes are watered or sprayed with this product, the fruits will acquire a sweeter taste and a stronger aroma.

The soil also benefits from the yeast. It accelerates the activity of soil microorganisms. Under the influence of the fertilizer, the mineralization of organic fertilizers and the formation of carbon dioxide occur much more quickly.

Mature plants

Tomatoes grown in open ground should be fertilized every 1.5 to 2 weeks from planting. After 2-3 weeks, additional watering is given. They should be given another spray before flowering. The solution should be applied at a rate of 1-2 liters per plant. There is no need to increase the dose.
