Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect Combined vermicompost and biochar significantly improved growth, physiological traits and yield relative to vermicompost alone.
- Intervention effect The 67% cocopeat, 30% vermicompost and 3% biochar substrate increased growth, physiological and root traits relative to control.
- Intervention effect The same substrate increased contributing yield traits relative to control.
- Intervention effect The substrate increased total yield per plant by 26.28% relative to control.
- Mechanism The performance changes were linked to increased nutrient supply, water retention and microbial activity in the growing media.
- Recommendation The authors support combined vermicompost and biochar use to maximize rooftop cherry tomato performance.
