Vegetable Crop Fertilizer Program

Vegetable crops need different nutrient blends at each growth stage, from establishment through harvest. Match the blend to the growth stage using the schedule below to protect yield and quality.

Feed the plant to its growth stage

Apply well decomposed organic manure/FYM 2 to 4 tons per acre annually.

About our vegetable fertilizers

Five matched blends cover every stage from seedling to harvest:

Veggie Starter (12:06:12:01) — a specially produced, well-balanced fertilizer mixture suitable as a basal fertilizer for upcountry vegetables, low-country vegetables, and leafy vegetable cultivation.
Veggie TDM (30:00:20) — a top-dressing fertilizer mixture; its high potassium content helps stimulate flowering, increase fruit formation, and improve yields in root crops.
Topup (16:07:14) — a Turbomix fertilizer blend ideally suited for the first top dressing application on vegetables grown using hybrid seeds, gradually releasing nutrients from cultivation until harvest.
Kalpitiya Starter (13:6:12:1) — specially designed for sandy soils, with a slow-release formula that holds nutrients longer for continuous nourishment from early growth to harvest.
Kalpitiya TDM (16:02:12:01) — a dressing fertilizer mixture with balanced potassium and nitrogen that stimulates flowering, increases yield, and enhances productivity, particularly in tuber crops.

Vegetable deficiency corrections

Nutrient	Symptoms	Correction
Nitrogen	Yellowing of older leaves, stunted growth, pale leaves	Apply Veggie TDM as per recommendation
Phosphorus	Purple or reddish leaves, poor root growth, delayed maturity	Apply Veggie Starter as per recommendation
Potassium	Yellowing and scorching of leaf edges, weak stems, poor fruit quality	Apply Topup as per recommendation
Calcium	Blossom end rot, poor cell wall formation	Use calcium-based fertilizers and maintain soil pH
Magnesium	Yellowing between leaf veins (interveinal chlorosis)	Apply magnesium sulfate
Boron	Fruit cracking, poor pollination, deformed new growth	Apply Borax (foliar/soil)
Zinc	Small leaves, rosetting, stunted growth	Apply zinc sulfate (foliar/soil)

Pests and diseases: aphids, whiteflies, fruit and shoot borer, leaf miner, thrips; bacterial wilt, root rot, late blight, powdery mildew, damping off, anthracnose.
