Sample Story:

Vitol^®, Breakout^®, Calcium, Super Phos^® Save Jalapeño Peppers in Central Florida

These photos represent 34 acres of jalapeño peppers in Central Florida. Photo 5 shows peppers 10–14 days after transplant. The grower was discouraged and thought about terminating the crop, convinced that it could not be saved due to use of 2-year plastic and planting back-to-back peppers. Huma Gro^® Representative Jason Garcia suggested an alternative. Photo 6 shows the same plants 14–21 days after initial application of Jason’s recommended Huma Gro^® program. The initial program called for application of 2 qt/acre of Super Phos^® and 1 qt/acre of Breakout^® through the drip irrigation, with 2 qt/acre of Vitol^® and 1 qt/acre of Breakout^® foliar-applied. This was followed by 1 pt/ac each, every 7–10 days, of foliar-applied Vitol^®, Breakout^®, and Calcium. At the end of the season the grower had averaged over 1,800 boxes per acre (an 80% increase over prior years), and he said it was the best jalapeño crop he’d ever had.
