1 CONTROLLED-RELEASE FERTILIZER A BMP IN TOMATO PRODUCTION Monica Ozores-Hampton and Luther Carson
2 CAN WE USE CONTROLLED RELEASE FERTILIZERS (CRF) IN TOMATO PRODUCTION? Monica Ozores-Hampton, Eric Simonne, Kelly Morgan, Kent Cushman, Shinjiro Sato, Chris Albright, Eric Waldo, and Amir Polak
3 FRESH MARKET TOMATO PRODUCTION IN FLORIDA Florida ranks first nationally in fresh market tomatoes production with 29, acres planted and depending of the season with a farm value of $4-6 million. 7% of the tomato production is in the Southwest Florida area: Collier and Manatee County in sandy soils susceptible to nutrient leaching.

5 FLORIDA VEGETABLES BMP S The Federal EPA and Florida DEP recognize the importance of water quality through the enforcement: 1. Federal Clean Water Act of FL Surface Water Improvement and Management (SWIM) Act of FL Restoration Act of Florida DACS authority to develop BMP BMP manual ( 26 A BMP must be technically feasible, economically viable, socially acceptable, and based on sound science. The BMP program is voluntary Presumption of compliance by NOI

7 (BMP) NITROGEN RATES Grower Standard 293 ± 38 lbs of N/acre (24) 244 ± 44 lbs of N/acre (214) UF/IFAS Recommendation & BMP 2 lbs/acre pre-plant plus.. Controlled-Release Fertilizer (CRF) a BMP (No recommendation)
8 WHAT IS CONTROLLED-RELEASE FERTILIZER? Controlled release-fertilizer (CRF) are soluble fertilizers (SF) encapsulated in a polymer, resin, or a hybrid of sulfur coated occluded in a polymer coating. Several factors influence N release from CRFs including: 1. Soil temperature and moisture 2. Material coated (Polyon or Resin) 3. Coating thickness
9 CRF MANUFACTURES Manufacturers measure CRF release duration as 75% N release at a constant temperature (e.g., 68 to 77 C). Recorded as high as 14 F during the fall under white polyethylene mulch Accelerated N release may be expected during the fall season Increased electrical conductivity, elevated ammonium concentration Loss of CRF benefits
10 OBJECTIVES 1. Evaluate N release from CRFs buried pouches method (real-time field) in seepage-irrigated tomato mulched beds. 2. Evaluate selected CRF N and rate plus SNF in a hybrid fertilizer system in seepage-irrigated tomato mulched beds.

After samples are collected, they will be dried at ambient temperature. Remaining N in the prill will be measured using combustion.

26 1. CONCLUSIONS In the fall due to high soil temperatures CRF-N resulted in release duration reductions of 23% to 88% as compared to the manufacturers stated release. So (fall), a CRF NPK 12 days 75% of the N will be release in 57 days (53% reduction), but the desire N release should be 89 days after placement (3 weeks fumigation + 8 weeks after transplant). Mixing CRF N release time, sources, technologies will achieved the desire release time. N release (%) PCNPK
27 2. CONCLUSIONS Hybrid Fertilizer Program: CRF 1 and 15 lbs/acre (bottom mix) plus 5 lbs/acre of SNF (15 to 2 lb/acre total N) will allows you an N reduction of up to 25% maintain yields with no impact in postharvest fruit quality. Thus, CRF can be a considered a technically feasible fertilization practice, socially acceptable, and based on sound science. However, CRF did not reduced potential N loss to the environment criteria to be considered a BMP for seepage produced tomato in south Florida. Also, need to be economically viable!!!.
