Organic fertilization program for vegetables
Complete organic fertilization program for vegetables: tomato, pepper, cucumber, lettuce, spinach and leafy greens. Transplanting and fruit set are the critical phases where nutrition and biostimulants generate the greatest productive impact.
All listed products are certified CE 2018/848, NOP USDA and JAS — suitable for certified organic production

FAQs about Vegetables fertilization
How does fertilization differ between fruiting and leafy vegetables?
+
Fruiting vegetables (tomato, pepper, cucumber) have a far higher demand for nitrogen, calcium and potassium during set and bulking, whereas leafy vegetables (lettuce, spinach) mainly demand nitrogen during vegetative growth. For leafy crops the programme can be simplified to 2-3 applications. For fruiting crops the full 5-6 stage programme is recommended.
How to address blossom end rot in organic tomato?
+
Blossom end rot is not a disease but a physiological calcium deficiency in the fruit during set. The answer is to apply Ecoganic's CALCIUM 40 at flowering and fruit set, ensuring a continuous supply of soluble calcium compatible with fertigation. Water stress makes the deficiency worse, so regular irrigation matters just as much.
Can Ecoganic products be used on greenhouse vegetables?
+
Yes. Ecoganic products work particularly well under protected cultivation, because the controlled environment lets biostimulant activity be exploited to the full. Containing no salts or chlorides, they do not contribute to soil salinisation — a frequent problem in long-cycle greenhouses. They are compatible with drip fertigation and with hydroponic systems.
