Effect of Filter-Press Cake on Tomato Plants Grown in Sterilized and Unsterilized Soil

Abstract

Beneficial effects were secured by the application of 1-percent filter-press cake to tomato plants, shown by increases in both weight of plant and improved date of flowering. This effect increased when sterilized soil was used together with 1-percent filter-press cake, as against soil which was not sterilized + 1-percent filter-press cake.
