Much of the tomato production on market farms in the northeastern United States utilizes high tunnels. Tunnels protect soils from rainfall, reducing leaching of nutrients. However, if nutrients are accumulating below the root zone in tunnel soils lateral flow could be moving the nutrients beyond the covered area, resulting in leaching. From July 2020 to October 2022 we monitored soil moisture, soil temperature, and mineralization and movement of nitrate and phosphate in high tunnel tomato production on five commercial market farms (2 in Connecticut and 3 in Rhode Island). We also tracked irrigation water and fertilizer applications. Activated mixed-bed resin capsules were buried at 30 cm depth in transects running across the width of each high tunnel and extending 1 m past the tunnel perimeter on each side. Resin capsules were exchanged in March, July and October of each year and analyzed for captured nitrate, ammonium and phosphate. Soil P in the tunnels ranged from 16 to 363 kg/ha and soil K from 207 to
