e1“the highest values of plant height, leaf area per plant, leaf dry matter percentage, relative water content percentage, leaf pigments, fruit yield per plant as well as total marketable yield per feddan, vitamin C and lycopene content of tomato plant were achieved with kaolin at 40 g/l with significant difference comparing the other rates under study”
e3“While, increasing kaolin to 60 g/l decreased the above mentioned parameters during both seasons”
