Who will break his yield
in tomato production
A grower broke his yield barrier in tomato production last
year when he grew 49.3 tons per acre. His high yield resulted
from feeding the plants Ortho 14-14-14 in an accelerated fer
tilizing program. He netted $904 per acre after paying his
investment in fertilizer. " ~
* '
Compare his fertilization experience with your own. His pre
vious feeding program called for a sidedress application of
500 pounds of 14-14-14 to the acre. The ranch then produced
35 tons per acre for a net return of $571.
This yield hairier was broken when he switched to this simple, *
stepped-up plant feeding program; The sidedress application
was increased to 700 pounds of Ortho 14-14-14 per acre. The
crop was harvested with the following result. Each acre pro
duced 49.3 tons of tomatoes. Despite the higher investment
in fertilizer, he earned an extra $333 per acre under the
Ortho “Break the Yield Barrier Program.”
Now let’s get together and break your yield barrier increase
your tomato profits. Our Ortho program will be tailored to
your soil and growing conditions.
