INFLUENCE OF ORGANIC AND INORGANIC FERTILIZERS ON THE PERFORMANCE OF TOMATO(SOLANUM LYCOPERSICUM)

rtilizer use. The results indicated that most growth parameters across Tomato exhibited significant differences area. Data were collected at 5 weeks after Transplanting on Stem girth, Plant height, Number of leaves and Leaf Design. 10 beds were used and laid out in a 4 x 4 factorial experiment fitted into a Randomized Complete Block though specific outcomes vary depending on application rates and environmental conditions. treatment on soil health. Results indicate that both fertilizer types significantly impact tomato growth, assessed soil quality before and after fertilizer application to determine the long-term impacts of each fertilizers on various growth parameters, including plant height, fruit size, and yield. The study also A series of controlled experiments were conducted to compare the effects of organic and inorganic benefits and drawbacks, particularly regarding environmental impact, cost, and effectiveness. available nutrients that can promote rapid plant growth. However, each type of fertilizer has unique known to improve soil structure and microbial activity, while inorganic fertilizers provide readily their productivity is crucial in agricultural practices. Organic fertilizers, derived from natural sources, are (Solanum lycopersicum)are widely cultivated due to their nutritional and economic value, and enhancing The study assessed the influence of organic and inorganic fertilizer on the performance
