Abstract

We carried out the test to study the effects of liquid silicon-potash fertilizer on winter-spring tomato growth in Guozhuang village, Qianquan street, Zoucheng city, Shandong province from 2013 to 2014. The results showed that, after being sprayed with liquid silicon-potash fertilizer on winter-spring tomato plants in solar greenhouse, the growth of tomato plants was promoted and fruit-setting number was increased at the later growth stage, with the single fruit weight and sugar content increased by 32.1 g and 0.16%. Additionally, the yield was significantly increased by 10.12% compared with that of unfertilized tomato plants.
