Tomato cultivation requires efficient water use and nutrient absorption to produce high-quality fruit. Betaine supplementation is beneficial in maintaining hydration, improving stress tolerance, and supporting fruit quality.
Key Benefits for Tomatoes
1. Improves Water Balance: Betaine helps reduce excessive water loss, allowing plants to stay hydrated.
2. Encourages Root Growth: Stronger root systems contribute to better nutrient absorption and plant health.
Application Methods
•Foliar spray: Apply 0.2–0.4% betaine solution during flowering and fruit development stages.
•Drip irrigation: Adding betaine to irrigation systems improves root zone hydration and nutrient availability.
Using betaine in tomato production can help maintain consistent growth, improve fruit quality, and enhance resistance to environmental stress, making it a practical addition to modern cultivation practices.
