Diseases are a major hurdle in tomato cultivation, both under controlled and field conditions. Among them bacterial wilt is most devastating on tomato causing yield losses up to 90 per cent. The disease is also known as southern bacterial blight or solanaceous wilt. Rapid and complete wilting of normal grownup plants is a characteristic symptom of bacterial wilt. During warm and wet climatic conditions most conspicuous symptom of sudden drooping of leaves, without yellowing, often accompanied by rotting of the stem are seen.

When the body experiences selenium deficiency, a variety of health problems can develop, including thyroid disorder, psoriasis, heart illness and viral infections. 1.

Muriate of Potash (MOP)

Potassium chloride (commonly referred to as Muriate of Potash or MOP) is the most common potassium source used in agriculture, accounting for about 95% of all potash fertilisers used worldwide. Its nutrient composition is approximately: Potassium: 50% Chloride: 46% MOP has a high nutrient concentration and is therefore relatively price competitive with other

The Calcium Nitrate

WHAT IS CALCIUM NITRATE? It is a fertilizer made up of two nutrients, with a white grainy appearance that dissolves quickly in water and can be absorbed rapidly by plants. It is an perfect combination of %15.5 nitrogen in nitrate form that rapidly dissolves in water and %26.5 calcium. Its nitrate nitrogen and fully water soluble calcium combination provides good affects not found in any other fertilizer. CALCIUM NITRATE This is a greenhouse -type fertilizer, pure in composition and of uncoated granules that dissolves completely in water. Its greenhouse type is used in greenhouse and outdoor conditions where irrigation is done by drip or spring

Headache Information

Nine areas of the head and neck have these pain-sensitive structures, which are the cranium (the periosteum of the skull), muscles, nerves, arteries and veins, subcutaneous tissues, eyes, ears, sinuses and mucous membranes..
