“…These results indicate that organic amendments are compounds rich in carbon and organic resources that provide an energy source for soil microorganisms that drive the various soil biological processes that enhance nutrient transformation and other quality parameters of soil (Fairhurst, 2012). The long-term use of organic amendments increases soil fertility by improving the structural and hydrological properties of soil and increasing soil organic matter and other macronutrients (Ramzan et al, 2021). According to Mulugeta and Getahun (2020), organic amendments play a positive role in chemical characteristics of the soil including increase in organic carbon (up to 58% with 120 t/ha vs. unfertilized soil) and organic nitrogen up to 90% depending on the type and the level applied.…”

With the aim of promoting sustainable agriculture that respects the environment and human health, a study was carried out to evaluate the impact of organic and mineral fertilizers on tomato plant cultivation. The study was carried out at the Research Station of Farako-Bâ in Burkina Faso. A complete randomized block of Fisher design with four replications was used to carry out the experiment. The treatments were as follows: T0: control (compost 15 t/ha); T1: compost (15 t/ha) + biosol (160 kg/ha) + urea (35 kg/ha) + NPK (87.5 kg/ha) + KCl (52.5 kg/ha); T2: compost (15 t/ha) + neem seed cake (10 t/ha) + urea (100 kg/ha) + NPK (250 kg/ha) + KCl (150 kg/ha); T3: compost (15 t/ha) + biochar (10 t/ha) + urea (100 kg/ha) + NPK (250 kg/ha) + KCl (150 kg/ha). The data collected were collar diameter, height of plants, number of fruits, fruit diameter, and tomato fruit yield. The results showed that the combination organo-mineral fertilizers had a significant effect on tomato plant productivity. Application of neem seed cake and mineral fertilizers was the most efficient treatment with a yield increase of 53% and 40% in 2019, respectively. In 2020, the yield increase was 32 and 85% for biochar and biosol, respectively. Incorporation of organo-mineral fertilizers has improved soil organic and nutrient status, which ultimately promotes crop growth of tomato plant. Neem cake can be effectively used to increase tomato plant productivity and farmer's income and also maintain soil fertility.

“…Due to their high content of C organic amendments substantially influence soil physical properties (Ramzan et al, 2021). The influence on these properties depends in part on the type of amendment added.…”
