This zeatin-based tomato foliar fertilizer features the natural cytokinin Zeatin as its core active ingredient. It is highly effective at preserving flowers and fruit and promoting uniform fruit expansion. Application on tomatoes can boost yields by 6.59%–18.75%, while also increasing Vitamin C content, reducing titratable acidity, and improving flavor quality.
Key Benefits of Zeatin:
1. Potent Flower and Fruit Retention: Promotes tomato flower bud differentiation and reduces flower and fruit drop, significantly increasing the fruit set rate. It also enhances plant stress resistance, lowering the risk of fruit drop caused by adverse environmental conditions.
2. Promotes Uniform Fruit Expansion and Prevents Hollow Fruit:Accelerates balanced cell division and expansion within the fruit and directs nutrients to the fruit, preventing issues such as uneven fruit sizes, stunted fruit, hollow fruit, and deformities, resulting in well-shaped, plump fruit.
3. Quality Enhancement, Crack Prevention, and Fruit Protection:Works with nutrients like calcium and boron in the formula to thicken fruit skin cell walls and increase skin toughness. This synchronizes the growth of the skin and flesh, fundamentally reducing fruit cracking caused by sudden moisture fluctuations or intense heat exposure.
4. Delays Premature Plant Senescence: Inhibits chlorophyll degradation in leaves, maintains photosynthetic activity, and extends the lifespan of functional leaves, ensuring a continuous supply of nutrients for fruit development.
