Abstract
Compost from biogenic waste was applied at various levels to tomatoes, beetroots and cabbage. NPK fertilizer or commercial culture substrate were used for comparison. The parameters tested were: desirable and undesirable nutrients in plant products; storage quality: sensory properties. Yields varied depending upon fertilizer applied. However, with regard to storage quality (“store-tests”) and desirable (Vitamin C, sugars) as well as undesirable nutrients (e.g. nitrates), the compost treatments led to superior results. In a number of cases, differences in sensory properties also occurred. Besides the classical methods for the determination of the quality, the newly developed technique of “Biophotones” (luminescence) was also applied to cabbage and led to conclusive results.
