Too Much Nitrogen Hurts Tomatoes Early In Season
Excess nitrogen in tomatoes during the first four to five weeks causes lush vegetative growth and poor fruit set, according to Dr. Francis Stark of the University of Maryland. The crop’s nitrogen needs rise after fruiting begins, with recommendations varying by soil type and including plowing down fertilizer on heavy soils and multiple side dressings later in the season. Starter solutions are advised across soils.
