Abstract: A market exists for organically grown, fresh- and
processing-market tomatoes. Although information
on conventional tomato practices is available from many sources,
comprehensive information on organic
cultivation practices is difficult to find. Organic tomato production
differs from conventional production
primarily in soil fertility, weed, insect, and disease management.
These are the focus of this publication, with
special emphasis on fresh market tomatoes.

In Nigeria, tomatoes yielded 44
and 42 T/A when swine manure
or poultry manure was applied at
9 T/A. Tomatoes yielded 37 and
42 T/A on fields treated with
sewage sludge or rabbit manure
applied at 18 T/A. Organic
manures performed better than
NPK treatments, which yielded
only 31 T/A (15).
