Tomato Trials

Trial Number: 01-0009
Date: August, 2001
Location: Central Valley
Crop: Tomato variety-H9557
Trial: Comparison of Actagro program vs grower standard program.
Results: Paid tons per acre increased 20% over grower standard with corresponding improvements in color and solids.
Trial Number: 99-0018
Date: December 20, 1999
Location: Salinas, California
Crop: Fresh market tomatoes
Trial: Actagro Structure vs. grower’s standard fertility practice. Structure was applied side dress at 15g/ac when plants were 6&Mac253; to 8&Mac253; in height.
Results: Average yield increase of 4 tons.
Trial Number: 99-0015
Date: November 29, 1999
Location: Central Valley
Crop: Processing Tomatoes
Trial: Structure vs. 10-34-0
Results: Average gross weight increased 5 tons per acre, Net Paid Weight increased 4.4 tons per acre (10%) resulting in a net gain of $255 per acre, and quality data showed modest increases.
Trial Number: 91-0001
Date: September 1991
Location: Central Valley
Crop: Processing Tomatoes
Trial: Structure vs. 10-34-0 as pop-up fertilizer
Results: Average stand count increased significantly (29.5% & 32.6%) and the average Net Paid Weight increased 0.92 and 7.2 (with extra Zn) tons per acre.
Trial Number: 86-0004
Date: 1986
Location: Central Valley
Crop: Processing Tomatoes
Trial: Trial performed by Pacific Agronomics to determine yield response of processing tomatoes to Actaplex and Foliar Plus treatments.
Results: Slight increase in yields, 1.2–2 tons per acre was documented.
Trial Number: 86-0003
Date: 1986
Location: Central Valley
Crop: Processing Tomatoes
Trial: Actagro 8-24-0 as a pop-up fertilizer vs. 10-34-0 vs. “Lace”
Results:

Both Actagro 8-24-0 and 10-34-0 demonstrated significant increased petiole phosphate levels over Lace. Early phosphate levels were increased for Actagro treated plants over 10-34-0 but leveled off over time.

Trial Number: 86-0001
Date: 1986
Location: Central Valley
Crop: Processing Tomatoes
Trial:

Performed by Pacific Agronomics, phosphate efficiency between 10-34-0 and Actagro’s 8-24-0 with 4% organic acids was tested.

Results:

Plant uptake efficiency was 190% greater for Actagro 8-24-0 than 10-34-0.
