Vilas Gangadhar Jadhav is a tomato farmer in Varvandi village, Dindori Tehsil, Nashik District, India, selling tomatoes at his local and regional markets. Vilas understands how a good supply of calcium is key to a good tomato crop, influencing various aspects of growth, fruit quality, and productivity.

To meet this calcium demand in his tomato crops, Mr. Jadhav has been using CalPhos, and is really pleased with the results.

In my tomato plot, I grow the Aryaman variety of tomatoes, which I planted on 26th July 2024. To ensure high-quality growth, I decided to use CalPhos 0-55-15+7CaO from ICL.

This fertilizer’s unique formulation provides essential calcium, which meant I didn’t need to apply any additional calcium during the season. The results were remarkable. I observed excellent fruit setting and harvested fruit that met the market’s quality and size requirements.

I have sold over 800 crates already, that’s 16 metric tonnes of premium-quality tomatoes, and the season is not over yet. I am so satisfied with the performance of CalPhos that I don’t just use it on my crops, I also recommend it to other farmers seeking to improve their crop quality and yield.
