Effect of Sulphur/Zinc Fertilizer Application on Selected Tomato Parameters in Poland, Spain and Italy

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Modern, technologically advanced fertilizers that increase the efficiency of the plant’s use of macro and microelements while reducing the doses used are one of the most important elements of sustainable plant production. Current European Union policy, especially the from-farm-to-fork strategy, which is part of the European Green Deal and sustainable agriculture, requires producers to seek new solutions that will ensure higher yields while reducing the number and volume of fertilizers and pesticides introduced into the environment. The aim of conducted research was to determine the effect of the application of Techno Z (sulphur 67% + zinc 14%), an advanced microgranular sulphur/zinc fertilizer with patented ORT technology on greenhouse-grown tomato, one of the most popular vegetables grown worldwide. Consumption is constantly growing, and demand is much higher in many countries than domestic production. Therefore, measures aimed at increasing yields, such as more effective, sustainable fertilization, are extremely important.
