- Intervention effect Coconut coir significantly increased tomato K and S uptake versus rockwool.
- Intervention effect Coconut coir significantly increased tomato photosynthesis versus rockwool.
- Intervention effect Coconut coir significantly increased individual tomato fruit weight versus rockwool.
- Intervention effect Coconut coir significantly increased total tomato fruit yield versus rockwool.
- Intervention effect Coconut coir increased tomato P and K uptake versus peat-vermiculite.
- Intervention effect Coconut coir increased total tomato fruit yield versus peat-vermiculite.
- Intervention effect Coconut coir significantly increased organic acid in first-truss tomato fruit versus rockwool and peat-vermiculite.
- Intervention effect Uncredited nutrient was lower under coconut coir than rockwool and peat-vermiculite.
- Intervention effect Coconut coir did not significantly affect tomato fruit blossom-end rot versus rockwool or peat-vermiculite.
- Intervention effect Peat-vermiculite significantly decreased tomato fruit blossom-end rot versus rockwool.
- Recommendation The authors consider coconut coir a potential tomato production substrate, while blossom-end rot control remains challenging.
