“…Increasing levels of poultry manure resulted on the increasing contents of lycopenes and Vitamin C in this study. This finding is similar to the findings of other research done on tomato; which indicated that lycopene content increased with poultry manure levels [30]. However their findings [30] that control tomatoes plant had higher vitamin content than those receiving poultry manure is contrary the observation in this study.…”

to study the effects of poultry manure rates and crop spacing on growth, yield and quality of Cayenne pepper. The 3 x 3 factorial experiment with three replicates was arranged in a Completely Randomized Design. The main plots were three poultry manure rates (0, 10, 20tons/ha-1) and sub plots, three spacing (50cm x 50cm, 100cm x 50cm and 100cm x 100cm). Data collected were plant height, number of leaf per plant, leaf area; number of fruits per plot, fruit weight per plot, fruit yield per hectare, fruit lycopene and vitamin C contents. Results showed plant height increased with reducing planting distance and increasing Poultry manure rate; 50cm by 50cm fertilized at 20tons/ha produced the tallest plants with most number of leaves but least leaf area LA. Number of fruits, fruit weight and yield per plot, per hectare increased with increasing planting density and increasing Poultry manure rates lycopene and vitamin c contents increased with Poultry manure levels within the different spacing. Spacing of 50cm by 50cm fertilized with poultry manure at 20 tons per hectare is recommended.

“…This could be as a result of higher population of plants, with each individual plants producing high number of fruits. Similarly in a different study on green pepper, closely spaced pepper recorded higher yields than widely spaced pepper [27]; while higher yield was observe in tomatoes with increasing levels of poultry manure [30].…”

“…No significant effects on pH of fruit juice were recorded with the addition on any of organic fertilizer treatments in the both seasons. The differences in the management of soil fertility under organic practices effects on soil dynamics and plant metabolism, which results in differences in plant composition and nutritional quality (Worthington., 2001) in this respect, (Adeniyi and Ademoyegum., 2012) on tomato, found that application of ChM at a rate of 20 t ha -1 gave significant increases on the TSS % content in tomato fruits. Also, (Ibrahim et al, 2013) on tomato, found different effects of adding different types of organic fertilizer such as compost, ChM, ChM + cow, and ChM + compost on fruit quality of tomato.…”

Two field experiments were conducted during late summer seasons of 2015-2016 at the Agric. Res. Station, Veg. Res. Dept., Hort. Res. Inst., Agric. Res. Center, in El-Arish, North Sinai Governorate, Egypt. The aim of this work was to study the effect of three tomato hybrids (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.); i.e. one local "Eyeon" hybrid as well as two foreign hybrid (Alisa and GS-12) and two sources of organic fertilization each at 120 and 150 Kg N fed -1 (Chicken manure "ChM" and Cow manure) under sandy soil condition and high saline water with drip irrigation system. The treatments were arranged randomly in a split-plot design arrangement in randomized complete block design, in three replications where the three tomato hybrids were randomly arranged in the main plots, the two sources of organic fertilization were randomly distributed in sub plots. The results showed that, all growth parameters, (roots, leaves, and stems, as well as clusters fresh weight and both total fresh and dry weight) gave the highest values under "Eyeon" hybrid plantation and application of high rate (150 Kg N fed -1 ) from ChM followed by "GS-12" with the same of fertilization treatment. Yield and its components for early and total yield results showed that planting of local "Eyeon" hybrid with application the high rate of 150 kg Nfed -1 from ChM recorded the best values for yield characters i.e., number of fruits and fruit weight for grades A and B (g plant -1 and ton fed -1 ) as well as early and total yield for grade (A+B ton fed -1 .) compared to other treatments, in both seasons.Regarding to the fruit quality, the obtained results showed that fertilization of local "Eyeon" hybrid by ChM at the rate of 150 Kg N fed -1 recorded the highest values for pH, V.C, T.S.S in tomato fruit juice as well as fruit firmness and dry matter content in tomato fruits. The Local "Eyeon" hybrid was more responses to the high rate (150 Kg N fed -1 from ChM). For that it can recommend by cultivation the local "Eyeon" hybrid in North Sinai which it was more superior for produce high fruit yield with best quality when fertilized with chicken manure at the rate of 150 Kg N fed -1 under the condition of saline water irrigation compared with using the foreign tomato hybrids either Alisa or GS-12 which it is import from abroad.

“…According to Jongen (2002), lycopene content in ripen tomato fruits can reach 80-100 mg/kg, which is up to 85% of total carotenoids. Lycopene content is affected by water, fertilization, temperature and light, ripening level of the fruit, time of harvest (Dumas et al, 2003;Adeniyi and Ademoyegun, 2012;Ćota et al, 2013), fruit size, and storage conditions after the harvest. Lycopene level also varies depending on how the tomato was grown (open fields or greenhouses) (Jarquin-Enriqez et al, 2013;Ehret et al, 2013).…”
