More Nitrogen Is Not Always Better for Florida Tomatoes
Higher fertilizer costs do not always mean lower profits. A recent Florida study found that controlled-release nitrogen fertilizers improved profitability by increasing nitrogen use efficiency while maintaining tomato yields under sandy soil conditions.

Can Winter Cover Crops Improve Soil Nitrogen Cycling?
Winter cover crops improved soil nitrogen cycling and retention, but their benefits were more evident in soil function than yield.
