It is not unusual for a gwd tomato producer to sell from 40 to 70 tons per acre. A 70 ton per acre tomato yield cannot be obtained by guess. The most successful tomato farmers are taking a soil test on their tomato land. They are raising the phosphorus and potash level in the soil to a very high index and adding 350 pound each of phosphorus and potash preplant. They are using about 75 pound of nitrogen per acre preplant. In addition to this a mount of nutrients, they are add ing the necessary lime to obtain a ph of 6.5 and adding an ad ditional ton of lime. They side dress with about 60 pound of actual nitrogen per acre every three weeks from the time of the first bloom until near frost. 3fc 9fr I I 6 - k A m V- n f - S try Upward Qoud Students flro Pic!icliFcSohc3ling Reria, Tweed Are Actire J On MHC Campus Both j LeaT TUWHs I Or.
