Abstract

Field experiments were conducted between 2010 and 2012 to determine the effect of organic, organomineral and NPK fertilizers on soil chemical properties and yield of tomato in Ondo, south western Nigeria. Organic (OG) and Organomineral Fertilizers (OMF) were each applied at the same rate of 2.5, 5 and 10 t/ha while NPK 15:15:15 fertilizer was applied at 300 kg/ha. The treatments were arranged on a Randomized Complete Block Design with three replicates. Relative to control, OG and OMF significantly increased (p 0.05) tomato fruit yield. Organomineral fertilizer applied at 5 t/ha had the highest increase in fruit weight of tomato.
