I know that all plants require a great deal of nitrogen. It has proteins and amino acids for the plant to "feed" on. This, by the way, is found in lightning, so when it strikes, plants (not scorched) nearby will prosper. Phosphorus is in the nucleus of plant cells and also part of ATP, which is basically a storehouse of energy. Potassium will boost the efficiency of photo-synthesis. Calcium is in the cell wall. Magnesium is very important too; it is part of chloro- phyll, which is what sucks up sunlight in the chloroplast. It's like the solar panel of the cell. Leaves are green because of the chlorophyll in them. I don't know exactly about tomatoes, but they will need these nutrients at least. And these are not all. Plants also need iron, maganese, boron, chloride, copper, molybdenum, and zinc.
