Abstract


The experiment was established in the greenhouse designed by random block system with Optima genotype of tomato, treatment with cow manure and retort beech charcoal and control with cow manure without retort beech charcoal. The aim was to determine the influence of the test factors on the number of fruits per plant and the weight of the fruit directly affecting the yield in the organic growing system. In the treatment, the Optima genotype had an average yield of 23.88% higher than the control plants.
