The program

An open-field crop, built for strong establishment, balanced growth, and high-quality fruit.

Agroperfect developed this integrated open-field tomato program to support strong crop establishment, balanced growth, and high fruit quality — combining stage-based nutrition with effective crop protection across the whole season.

Nutrition is timed to each growth stage, from establishment through vegetative growth, flowering, fruit set, fruiting, and full production; protection runs alongside it, holding back the weeds, diseases, insects, and mites that most affect the crop and its fruit.

Two tracks, one calendar

How the program is built

Nutrition and crop protection run in parallel through the same growth stages — so feeding the crop and defending it are planned as one schedule, from establishment through full production.

Nutrition program

Establish strong, then build the fruit

Open the season with NPK and poly sulphate plus salinity management and chelated iron for strong establishment, then drive vegetative growth with high-phosphorus foliar nutrition, magnesium, and micronutrients. Position boron and calcium around flowering and fruit set to secure a strong crop, then carry potassium-rich, calcium-magnesium nutrition through fruiting and production — finishing with high-potassium amino-acid feed under heavy load for firm, well-sized fruit.

Crop protection program

Protect from seed to harvest

Start at the seed with treatment against soil-borne disease, then clear weed competition before and after emergence. Open the disease-control window ahead of flowering — when blight and mildew do most damage — and layer in insect and mite control against whiteflies, leaf miners, and spider mites as pressure builds, with every application matched to field conditions to protect the canopy, the flowers, and final fruit quality.

Built for the harvest

Every stage points toward high-quality, firm fruit

A crop that establishes strong, stays balanced, and is well protected sets and fills full, firm, well-coloured fruit. From the first true leaves onward, the program is tuned to convert crop vigor into improved fruit quality and fewer losses from stress.

The season, stage by stage

Season roadmap

Each growth stage below shows both tracks together — what to feed the crop, and what to protect it from — so the whole season reads as one plan.

Nutrition Crop protection

Establishment

Sowing & emergence

Set up strong roots and even emergence, protect the seed, and clear weeds before the crop is up.

Nutrition

NPK + Poly Sulphate Balanced base nutrition with sulphur, magnesium, and calcium to drive root development and strong establishment.

SALINITYFIX Manages soil and water salinity early so young roots establish freely in difficult conditions.

Chelated Iron Prevents early iron chlorosis and keeps emerging seedlings green and active.

Crop protection

Seed treatmentTESTRA Protects the seed and seedling against soil-borne disease and damping-off for even, healthy emergence.

Weeds · pre-emCAMPSU 960 EC Pre-emergence weed control to remove competition before the crop establishes.

Vegetative Growth

Active growth

Build a strong frame and canopy, finish weed control after emergence, and open the insect window.

Nutrition

FOLIAFERT 10-52-10 + TE High-phosphorus foliar feed to drive root activity, energy transfer, and vigorous early growth.

AGROFERT 6 N + 10 Mg Supports leaf expansion, chlorophyll formation, and photosynthetic capacity during active growth.

AGROFERT Mn + Zn Corrects manganese and zinc demand to support enzyme activity and balanced vegetative development.

Crop protection

Weeds · post-emTOSILDE FORTE EC Post-emergence weed control to clear competition while the canopy is still open.

InsectsACTIVE THIA Applied as pest pressure builds to manage whiteflies and sucking pests on growing leaves and shoots.

Pre-Flowering

Before bloom

Sustain the canopy and correct micronutrients ahead of bloom, and open the disease-control window.

Nutrition

AGROFERT 6 N + 10 Mg Maintains nitrogen and magnesium supply to keep the canopy healthy and photosynthetically active.

Chelated Iron Keeps young growth green and corrects iron demand ahead of the flowering load.

Crop protection

DiseaseMELDAX · POLOGOLD Open the disease window ahead of flowering to protect against early blight and leaf disease.

InsectsTARGET Manages whiteflies and sucking pests as populations begin to build before bloom.

Flowering

The yield-defining window

Position boron and calcium for a strong bloom and set, and hold disease protection at its tightest.

Nutrition

AGROFERT Boron 10% Supports pollen viability, flower formation, and fruit set during the critical flowering window.

FOLIAFERT 11-5-19 + 9% CaO + 2% MgO + TE Potassium- and calcium-rich foliar feed to support flowering, cell-wall strength, and early fruit quality.

Crop protection

DiseaseKARBISMAX · ORDES Maintained through bloom — the period when flowers and young fruit are most vulnerable to blight and mildew.

InsectsPHANTOM Protects flowers and newly set fruit from leaf miners and chewing pests during bloom.

Fruit Set

First fruit forming

Secure set with boron and calcium nutrition, and hold insect and mite protection tight as fruit forms.

Nutrition

DISBONDA Calcium-rich nutrition to strengthen cell walls, secure fruit set, and reduce disorders and cracking as fruit forms.

AGROFERT Boron 10% Sustains boron supply to keep successive flowers setting and developing into sound fruit.

Crop protection

Insects & mitesVERMACTIN · KRETYOS Manages leaf miners and spider mites that scar setting fruit and stress the developing crop.

DiseaseMELDAX · POLOGOLD Continued to protect setting and early fruit from blight and leaf disease.

Fruiting

Fruit sizing & filling

Feed sizing fruit with potassium and calcium, sustain the canopy, and protect yield to harvest.

Nutrition

FOLIAFERT 11-5-19 + 9% CaO + 2% MgO + TE Potassium- and calcium-rich nutrition to size and fill fruit, reduce disorders, and build firmness and quality.

AGROFERT 6 N + 10 Mg Sustains the canopy and feeds the developing fruit through the fruiting phase.

Crop protection

DiseaseORDES · KARBISMAX Maintained through fruiting to guard the canopy and fruit against blight and powdery mildew.

Insects & mitesVERMACTIN · PHANTOM Continued against leaf miners and mites to keep sizing fruit clean and unblemished.

Production

Insects & mites, as neededKRETYOS · VERMACTIN Applied according to pressure to keep peak-load fruit clean and marketable.

Know the threats

Main pests & diseases this program targets

The protection track is built around the threats that most damage open-field tomatoes — here's what to watch for in the field, and which products manage each.

Fungal disease

Late & early blight

Phytophthora infestans · Alternaria solani

Dark, spreading lesions on leaves, stems and fruit collapse the canopy fast in warm, humid weather — cutting yield before fruit fills.

Managed with MELDAX · POLOGOLD

Fungal disease

Powdery mildew

Leveillula taurica

Pale patches and dusty white growth on leaves reduce photosynthesis, weaken the plant, and downgrade fruit size and quality.

Managed with KARBISMAX · ORDES

Insect · sap feeder

Whiteflies

Bemisia tabaci

Clouds of tiny white flies weaken plants, deposit sticky honeydew that grows sooty mould, and transmit damaging viruses.

Managed with ACTIVE THIA · TARGET

Insect · borer

Tomato leaf miner

Tuta absoluta

Larvae tunnel through leaves and bore into fruit, leaving blotchy mines and entry holes that ruin quality and open the way to rots.

Managed with VERMACTIN · PHANTOM

Mite

Two-spotted spider mite

Tetranychus urticae

Fine stippling and webbing on leaves bronze and dry the canopy in hot, dry weather, stressing the crop and cutting yield.

Managed with VERMACTIN · KRETYOS

Weed competition

Field weeds

Broadleaf & grass weeds

Compete with the crop for water, light, and nutrients early on, and raise humidity around the canopy that favours disease.
