Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Compost-based fertilizer alone raised tomato fruit yield by 145% versus controls in 2002.
- Intervention effect Compost fertilizer with urea affected tomato growth and fruit quality.
- Intervention effect CBF alone slightly lowered fruit titratable acidity compared with 30 kg·ha−1 NPK fertilizer.
- Intervention effect CBF alone raised tomato fruit calcium content by 44% versus controls.
- Intervention effect Organic fertilizer treatments raised soil microbial populations two- to fivefold versus synthetic NPK fertilizer.
- Recommendation The authors concluded that organic fertilizer can be combined with below-recommended synthetic fertilizer for sustainable tomato production.
- Recommendation The authors recommended testing other urea levels to assess whether lower additions consistently support yields.
