How to grow better crops next year in New Mexico
To improve next year’s harvest test soil for nutrient soluble salts and pH with a lab. Early nitrogen helps growth but reduces fruit. Use phosphate incorporated before planting. Calcareous soils limit phosphorus. bone meal often fails. Use organic matter to acidify soil, mulch and drip irrigation, windbreaks, shade, and proper irrigation to avoid mineral buildup. Seek NMSU Extension guidance and readings.
