Apply at 5 to 10 lbs. per acre as a foliar application to supplement the normal soil applied fertility program. The rate for backpack sprayers is 2 ounces per gallon of water.
Jon’s Recommendations: For growing in a high tunnel or a large garden, I recommend this as a tomato fertilizer. For my tomatoes I usually use 25 lbs. in 24 gallons of water. Every grower has their own way. If you are happy with the growth and fruit set, you are getting I would consider finishing this year and trying mine out next year. Plants can sometimes be finicky to change. Using foliar applications of Calcium chelate is great, too! Micros numbers available.
**These are general fertilizer recommendations. It is recommended that you do a soil test and leaf samples.
Do not burn your plants with fertilizer!

Please verify the calculations provided for Fertigating

you may need to spray them every week with Calcium Chelate at a rate of 2 oz per 1,000 feet. Soil tests are important.

Adding Fertilizer thru Drip Irrigation using a “siphon-type”
Injector (EZ Flo or Mazzei) for standard vegetable production:
Apply 5 lbs of 16-3-26 w/High K & 3.5 Ca per 1000’ feet, per week.
|
Mazzei Siphon-Type: Mix fertilizer with enough water
that everything is thoroughly dissolved. First, run the
system until all irrigation lines are full of water. Siphon
fertilizer into your lines. Continue running the drip lines
after fertilizing. By flushing the fertilizer, you will keep
your drip lines cleaner & working better.
