@austinhirsch9286 that will depend on what injector you're using and how much you need to irrigate. I use however much water it takes to dissolve (the amount of fertilizer I need) and carry it out the line to the field. Solution volume isn't really critical, only the amount of fertilizer in the solution/ acre. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching
What's your fertilizer plan on your tomatoes pre- plant to harvest and do you figure your applied acres by the bed spacing or the width on the plastic bed? I've had a little bit of a problem with BER this year so I'm getting opinions and comparing.
@@CherryHillFarm BER is just the acronym for Blossom End Rot. So you just use that 8-16-24 and the K Nitrate? No calcium nitrate or gypsum before laying plastic?
@doublebranchfarms501 yes I run calcium nitrate alternating with Epsom salt every week from transplant till fruit-set. Plus I keep my ph up fairly high.
I’m going to start using Ultrasol, how many gallons of water do you mix per pound of fertilizer though? Approximately. Thank you for your help

What size plastic are you laying, how wide are your raised beds, and how wide are your row centers for tomatoes? 🤔
48 inch plastic, 24" wide beds, 5' centers on beds

I'm not sure what BER is, but I use roughly 1000 lbs per acre of tobacco grade 8-16-24 per acre

What’s the flow rate of the drip tape you used ?
I use standard .45 gal
What secret formula you use on your sweet corn, I agree about corn on plastic but my ears just aren’t big enough for me
Same deal, at least 1 lb of N per day. In addition to 100-150 units up front preplant
