Abstract: Expts. with tomato plants (Solanum lycopersicum) indicate that such important production factors as fertility, the formation of sugar, size of the fruit, health of the plant and the fruit, and the yield are dependent on the presence of trace elements derived from ME-50. ME-50 is modified ME-49 with the addn. of 0.05 Mo and 0.05 Cr and reduction of B from 10 to 5 parts. The physiol. factors, as affected by trace elements, are dependent on each other. Lab. expts. as well as practical tests in agriculture show that the use of a complex of trace elements, and not individual elements, is necessary.
