e0“effects of three different biochars (wheat straw biochar, poplar biochar and olive residues biochar) were determined on the major fruit-size parameters, physico-chemical and nutritional properties of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum L.) cv. Rio Grande”
e2“There were no significant differences in size and weight parameters and the sugar content was not significantly modified by biochar amendment”

Other claims from this paper (6)
- Observation Biochar applied alone was sufficient to sustain tomato fruit growth.
- Association Tomato results were affected by the feedstock source of biochar.
- Intervention effect Biochar amendment did not significantly modify tomato sugar content.
- Association Secondary metabolites of tomato fruit changed according to biochar type.
- Intervention effect Tomato fruit grown in substrate amended with straw or olive residues biochar had higher total phenol and flavonoid contents and antioxidant activity.
- Intervention effect Lycopene, beta-carotene and lutein concentrations in tomato fruit were significantly lower in substrates amended with different biochars than in the control.
