J Ofosu-Anim, R Adase
Abstract
A study was used at the University of Ghana farm, Legon, to determine the performance of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) on a field to which Terralyt
Plus, a soil conditioner, had been applied. The soil conditioner at the recommended rate significantly increased plant height, number of fruits per truss, mean fruit size, fruit yield, and total soluble solids. Furthermore,
Terralyt Plus and the inorganic fertilizer applied at half the recommended rates also increased all the parameters mentioned above when compared with only fertilizer application at the recommended rate.
