Transformation of dolomite powder into value added fertilizer and its effect on growth and yield of tomato plant

In Dolomite industry, various purposes have led to the generation of large amount of dolomite powder during mechanical processing. Dolomite is a rich source of Ca and Mg and XRF analysis showed the presence of certain micro and ultra micro plant nutrients in it. In the raw form these nutrients are not in easily plant accessible form. In the present research, dolomite powder was converted into easily plant accessible form and its value-added fertilizer is formed by mixing vermicompost with chemically converted dolomite powder. Three types of experiments- control (simple soil), control with compost (soil + vermicompost), and different percentages [X, 2X, 3X, 4X & 5X (X= 3%)] of value-added fertilizer with soil were performed on growth and yield of tomato plant. It was found that among all treatments, 5X showed maximum plant growth, crop yield with increased biomass.

Slightly Saline Water Improved Physiology, Growth, and Yield of Tomato Plants in Yellow Sand Substrate

Efficient utilization of saline water and yellow sand resources can enhance water and soil resource management while boosting crop yields in Xinjiang. This study conducted a two-season field experiment in Alar City, Xinjiang, from March to July 2023 and August 2023 to January 2024. The objective was to examine the effects of different irrigation water salinities (2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 g·L−1) on the physiology, growth, and yield of sand-cultured tomatoes grown in yellow sand slag. Groundwater irrigation with salinity levels of 0.8–1 g·L−1 was used as the control (CK). The results showed that the salinity of the substrate gradually increased with the salinity of irrigation water in each treatment. The salt accumulation increased by 59.5%, 82.5%, and 99.5% at the end of the experiment for T3 (4 g·L−1), T4 (5 g·L−1), and T5 (6 g·L−1), respectively, compared to CK. As the salinity of irrigation water increased, plant height, stem thickness, chlorophyll content, net photosynthesis rate, stomatal conductance, transpiration rate, and total yield of tomato showed an increasing and then decreasing trend, in which the total tomato yield of the T2 (3 g·L−1) treatment was significantly increased by 35.2% compared with that of CK between the two seasons. In contrast, as the salinity of irrigation water increased, the inter-cellular CO2 concentration of tomato leaves showed a decreasing and then increasing trend, with the T2 treatment having the lowest inter-cellular CO2 concentration. Pathway analysis revealed that appropriate salinity levels increased tomato yield by regulating inter-cellular CO2 concentration. Based on these findings, a 3 g·L−1 salinity level is recommended for irrigating sand-cultured tomatoes to maximize yellow sand resource use, address freshwater shortages, and optimize water and soil management in the Xinjiang region.

The concentration of cow urine LOF at 60 ml/l had the best effect on the parameters of plant height at 4 weeks (78.50 cm), 5 weeks (95.66 cm), and 6 weeks (116.25 cm), the number of fruits per plant (12.83 fruits), and fruit weight per plant (474.75 g). There was an interaction between the treatment of vermicompost fertilizer dose and concentration of cow urine, with a combination of 45 g/plant of vermicompost and 60 ml/l cow urine having the best effect on the parameter of plant height 6 weeks after planting (123.33 cm).

Effects of Different Substrates on the Growth and Yield of Tomato Plants

Effects of Different Substrates on the Growth and Yield of Tomato Plants

Root morphology parameters and nutrient acquisition capabilities of grafted tomato plants in root-restricted conditions are subject to salinity and rootstock characteristics

ABSTRACT A tomato cultivar ('Izmir F1') grafted onto six commercially available rootstocks ('Arnold', 'Dohkko', 'Emperador', 'He-man', 'Kaiser', and 'Suzuka') together with self-grafted plants of the tomato cultivar (Izmir/Izmir) were included in a pot experiment. Growth, root morphology and nutrient uptake parameters were evaluated under different salinity conditions (0 and 50 mM NaCl). Grafting increases root length, specific root length, and root length ratio, which enhances the capabilities of hetero-grafted plants to exploit a larger volume of soil or otherwise increase root density under root restriction conditions. Since the root traits and nutrient concentrations in hetero-grafted variants were less impacted by a change in the salinity level, the use of specific rootstocks (‘Arnold,’ ‘Dohkko,’ ‘Kaiser’) could contribute to a steadier growth and yield of tomato plants under fluctuating salinity levels in the irrigation water. The hetero-grafted tomato plants (Dohkko/Izmir, Suzuka/Izmir) demonstrated higher Na sequestration/compartmentalization capabilities than the self-grafted (Izmir/Izmir) plants which helps to maintain a more appropriate K+/Na+ ratio. By exhibiting lower translocation indexes of some heavy metals (Al, Ni, Zn, and Cd), appropriate rootstock/scion combinations might be a useful tool for reducing the risk of their accumulation in edible plant organs.

Effect of Different Salinity Levels on Morphological and Yield-Related Traits of Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.)

Salinity stress arises from the accumulation of elevated salt levels in the soil, leading to the hindrance of plant growth and eventual crop loss. Compounds that induce stress tolerance exhibit a remarkable capacity to enhance growth and mitigate the impacts of salinity stress, all while maintaining a positive environmental impact by regulating plant activities. to investigate how varying levels of salinity in the irrigation water impact the morphological characteristics and yield of tomato plants. The experiment employed a complete randomized design with one plant per pot and three replicates per treatment, spanning from October 2021 to April 2022 and October 2022 to April 2023 at SVPUAT, Meerut. The objective was to investigate the impact of four NaCl levels (0, 50, 100, and 150 mM) on the Morphological traits of ten tomato cultivars (Arka Rakshak, Punjab Ratta, H-88-78-5, VRT-16-1, Pusa Ruby, Pant T-3, Arka Samrat, Kashi Aman, Kashi Anupam, Pusa Rohini) during the mature stage. Various genotypes displayed distinct reactions concerning plant growth, with a focus on factors such as plant height, the quantity of branches per plant, the number of flower trusses per plant, and the number of flowers per truss being examined. Parameters such as average fruit weight, fruit diameter, fruit length, and TSS were also measured. The findings revealed that increasing NaCl salinity adversely affected the morphological properties of all examined tomato plants compared to the control group (tap water). Salinity was found to decrease morpho and yield related parameters, except for TSS in tomato fruit. Nevertheless, there was a variation in the response to salt stress among the studied varieties. "Pusa Ruby" and "Pusa Rohini" demonstrated greater performance and stability under salinity stress, followed by Arka Rakshak and Kashi Aman, while Punjab Ratta, followed by Pant T-3, inferior performance under salinity. Water salinity significantly impacts the growth and production of crops, and the insights from this study can aid in the selection of better varieties in saline-affected areas. However, it is essential to further evaluate the potential of these genotypes under saline conditions and assess the variability in various biochemical parameters.

Effect of Biochar on Tomato Productivity and Soil chemical Properties under Acidic Soil Condition

Biochar is being evaluated globally as a means to improve soil fertility, ecosystem services and sequester carbon. This study presents an attempt to analysing the influence of biochar application on the soil properties, growth, yield of tomato plant under acid soil. The study was conducted at Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University during Robi season 2022 with 2 factor Randomized Completely Block Design. Factor A was the different acid soils with pH 6.5, 5.5, 5.0 and 4.5 and Factor B was the control, biocar and biochar+compost. The results showed that soil pH, bulk density, water content and soil organic matter were improved significantly as biochar and biochar + compost application. Biochar application also enhanced plant height, leaf number and yield components of tomato plant. It also revealed that combined application of biochar and compost increased the uptake and available of N, P, K than biochar alone and control in different level of acid soils. It was found that biochar + compost treatment in the whole growing period was best to improve tomato plant growth and yield, providing a biochar amendment recommendation for tomato production in field. Moreover, biochar application improved the soil physical and chemical properties. Therefore, biochar amendment could be an effective option to improve acidity affected croplands.

Impact of Different Sources of Organic Fertilizer on Growth and Yield Parameters of Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.)

This study investigates the impact of different organic fertilizer sources on the growth, phenology, and yield parameters of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) in Njala, Moyamba District, Southern Sierra Leone. The treatments included NPK 15:15:15 fertilizer, goat dung, pig dung, and poultry manure in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. Results revealed significant differences in morphological characteristics, with poultry manure enhancing plant height (63.29 cm), stem girth (0.88 cm), leaf number (69.23 leaves), and leaf area (352.94 cm²) compared to other treatments. In terms of phenology, poultry manure also resulted in the earliest flowering (30.14 days) and fruit set (33.05 days), indicating its superior role in promoting rapid reproductive development. Moreover, yield parameters showed that poultry manure produced the highest fresh fruit number (442.21 fruits) and weight (502.04 kg/ha), outperforming goat dung (309.06 fruits; 444.55 kg/ha) and significantly surpassing pig dung (203.13 fruits; 108.69 kg/ha). NPK fertilizer demonstrated moderate effects, producing 353 fruits and 360.13 kg/ha, but did not match the performance of organic fertilizers. These findings underscore the effectiveness of organic manure, particularly poultry manure, in enhancing the growth and yield of tomato plants, suggesting its potential as a sustainable alternative to synthetic fertilizers. This study highlights the importance of integrating organic fertilizers into local agricultural practices to improve food security and promote sustainable farming in Sierra Leone. Therefore, it is recommended that vegetable farmers within Njala Community should incorporate the use of poultry manure and Goat dung at 5t/ha rate into their activities to achieve high yield potential of tomato production

Interspecific Hybrid Rootstocks Improve Productivity of Tomato Grown under High-temperature Stress

Grafting can be a useful technology to improve productivity of vegetable crops, including tomato, particularly under the serious challenges of climate change for agricultural systems. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of some local tomato interspecific hybrid rootstocks along with Maxifort on the vegetative growth, productivity, and fruit quality of tomato under field production conditions. Heat-tolerant tomato hybrid 023 F1 was used as a scion over the two late summer seasons of 2021 and 2022. Grafting 023 F1 onto Maxifort or KFS-16 rootstocks resulted in the maximum plant growth. Similarly, Maxifort and KFS-16 rootstocks significantly increased the fruit setting percentage from 22.2% to 23.5% and 17.8% to 24.6%, total fruit yield from 33.5% to 53.7% and 29.6% to 51.6%, and marketable yields from 34.1% to 56.0% and 27.3% to 56.7%, respectively, during both seasons compared with nongrafted plants. These two rootstocks enhanced nutrient (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium) uptake compared with nongrafted planted. However, grafting with the interspecific hybrid rootstocks (KFS-8 and KWS-9) significantly decreased the content of catalase, peroxidase, and proline, which might be associated with lower plant vigor and yield in these rootstocks. All rootstocks had an impact on fruit chemical composition; however, generally, Maxifort and KFS-16 had greater contents of vitamin C, β-carotene, and total antioxidants than nongrafted plants. KFS-16 had also greater lycopene content than nongrafted plants. These results demonstrate the potential use of Maxifort and local rootstock KFS-16 to boost the growth and yield of tomato plants under high-temperature stress in the late summer season.

EFFECT OF Gliricidia sepium LEAFY BIOMASS AND NPK (15:15:15) FERTILISER ON THE GROWTH AND YIELD OF TOMATO, Solanum lycopersicum (L.)

The use of organic amendments and appropriate nutrient management practices is essential for sustainable agricultural production. The present study investigated the effect of Gliricidia sepium leafy biomass and NPK (15:15:15) on the growth and yield of tomato plants (Solanum lycopersicum L.). A randomised complete block design with five treatments and four replicates was employed in this experiment. The treatments included T1 (Control), T2 (100% G. sepium leafy biomass), T3 (25% G. sepium leafy biomass + 75% NPK fertiliser), T4 (50% G. sepium leafy biomass + 50% NPK), T5 (100% NPK), and T6 (75% G. sepium leafy biomass + 25% NPK). The application of G. sepium leafy biomass and NPK had significant effects on tomato growth and yield (p˂0.05). The combined application of G. sepium leafy biomass and NPK (T4) and the sole application of G. sepium leafy biomass (T2) resulted in the highest plant height, stem girth, and fruit yield compared to the other treatments. Additionally, treatment with 75% Gliricidia leafy biomass and 25% NPK fertiliser (T6) resulted in a superior fruit weight compared to the other treatments. The application of G. sepium leafy biomass (T2) alone and NPK alone (T5) showed a significant improvement in plant growth parameters and fruit yield compared to the control (T1), although the effects were not as pronounced when combined with NPK (T4). The application of NPK fertiliser (T3) also positively influenced plant growth and yield, but the effects were lower compared to T2, T4, and T6. Further studies are warranted to optimise the application rates of G. sepium leafy biomass and NPK for different tomato cultivars and growing conditions.
