Assessing Food Waste Compost as a Substrate Amendment for Tomato and Watermelon Seedlings

Assessing Food Waste Compost as a Substrate Amendment for Tomato and Watermelon Seedlings

A greenhouse study investigated the influence of various food waste compost (FWC) and potting mix (PM) blends on germination, growth, and nutrient uptake of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) and watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) seedlings. Source material for the FWC included food scraps from a commercial...
