- Observation LD plus biochar gave the highest marketable yield, 72 t ha−1.
- Observation Biochar gave 67 t ha−1 marketable tomato yield.
- Observation Pelleted digestate gave 64 t ha−1 marketable tomato yield.
- Observation Liquid digestate gave 59 t ha−1 marketable tomato yield.
- Observation Unfertilized tomato had the lowest production, 47 t ha−1.
- Intervention effect The fertilizer treatments increased tomato fruit weight by 24%.
