Abstract

Two field experiments were conducted during 2016/2017 and 2017/2018 growing seasons in the Experimental Farm, Faculty of Agriculture and Natural Resources, Aswan University, Egypt on a sandy textured soil, to assess tomato growth, yield and quality as affected by organic manures and foliar spray of moringa extract. The organic manures treatments were (without manure “control", chicken manure and wastes of sugar factories), at the rate of 20 m3 per fed. into the staggered rows and buried it in the planting sides (northern side) of the rows. While the applied concentrations of moringa leaves extract were, control distilled water, 20 g/l (M1), and 40 g/l (M2). Each aqueous extract was applied twice after one month from transplanting and two weeks later. The applied experimental design was split-plot system in a randomized complete blocks design with three replicates. The obtained results revealed that all treatments were very effective in stimulating plant height, number of  branches per plant, dry weight per plant,  total number of fruits per plant, average fruit weight, early yield, total yield, total soluble solids (TSS), ascorbic acid content, NO3 and NO2-N concentrations and chemical analyses of leaves plants (N, P and K %). The treatments combination of Chicken manure at 20 m3/fed. + 40 g/l moringa leaves extract (M2) which showed significant increases in most studied characters followed by treatment (40 g/l of moringa leaves extract + 20 m3 of wastes of sugar factories/fed.) in both seasons.
