It's high in phosphorus to encourage flowering.  If they have too much nitrogen they produce lots of leaves and not much flower  :D

Forgive me if I'm wrong, it's a long time ago I studdied this, but it goes something like this.

On any plant food it should show a percentage of NPK on the pack.

N = Nitrogen
P = Phosphorus
K = Potassium (Sulphate of Potash)

Nitrogen feeds the leaves of plants.
Phosphorus feeds the roots, and
Potassium feeds the flowers / fruits.

Therefore, Tomarite should be higher in K (to feed the fruits) than in N & P.
