Tomato Growth and Its Nutritional Quality in Different Vegetable Waste Substrate
[Objective] The growth and nutritional quality of tomato in vegetable waste cultivation matrix were tested to provide a scientific basis for the application of vegetable waste-fermented products. [Methods] Vegetable waste was composted outdoor
and after that a series of cultivation matrices based on the fermented products was used to cultivate tomato in a greenhouse. [Results] In all treatments of vegetable waste-fermented organic matrices
the height
crown size
main stem diameter
fruit quantity and yield of tomato were all observed increased. Especially
it was obvious for the C treatment
which was made from vegetable waste
corn stover
cow dung and fermentation agents with a ratio of 100:4:2:0.25. Cultivated with that matrix
the tomato yield increased 97%
and in which
indices of nutritional quality as dry matter
organic acid
soluble sugar
vitamin C and soluble solid content increased 41.9%
139.6%
36.8%
18.7% and 57.1% in comparison with the ones of the control. In all treatments
nitrite content
heavy metals and other harmful residues were less than the level of corresponding national standard. [Conclusion] Vegetable waste fermentation processed substrate can promote the growth of tomato and has its benefits to the fruit quality.
