Abstract
Field experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of different manures on the fruit quality of tomato in the derived savannah ecological zone of Nigeria. Nutrient components such as Lycopene, vitamin C content, Protein, total mineral content, sugar, lipids ash as well as water content were evaluated as affected by different manure application. Number of days to fruit decay after harvest was also evaluated using standard method. The result from the experiment showed that there were no significant differences among the various manure evaluated on the nutrient components of the test plant as well as the number of days to fruit rottening. However, numerical differences were observed in some cases though not peculiar and or consistent to any of the manure under investigation. Showed that manure type does not significantly affect the fruit quality of tomato. Keywords: Fruit quality; Tomato; Manure; Nutrient composition; Shelf life
