Dried Guava Leaves as Organic Mulch for Tomato Plants Investigatory Project I. Background of the Study Mulching is a method in agriculture whereas it enriches and fertilizes the soil planted with crop. It is both equally safe and profitable. Leaf mulch is like fertilizer. They are decayed leaves that are one of the best soil conditioners that can be added to garden or crops. Unlike fresh fallen leaves‚ which are quite acidic and use the nitrogen in the soil when decaying‚ leaf mulch adds

struggles and patience that the farmer faces when growing these crops. The first few days of the experiment proved to be rather slow as very little growth could be observed. After the several days of being under the scorching sun the leaves of the tomato plants started to dry up and would fall off at the very touch of it. More water had to be added to them to further hydrate the plants. It was only after around 30 days that a concrete growth could be observed. The plants grew to a reasonable height

Papaya Leaves as Organic Mulch for Tomato Plants Abstract Mulching in agricultural provides a safe yet equally profitable method of enriching and fertilizing the soil planted with crops. Most often-used mulches are of organic composition‚ such as dry leaves and barks. Unlike synthetic fertilizers and herbicides‚ these organic mulches pose no or little damage to the soil and crops. In this study‚ the effectiveness of dried papaya leaves as organic mulch for tomato was tested. Papaya mulches in different

Impact of Different Biological Control to Pest and Diseases of Tomato Production INTRODUCTION Importance of the Study Plant diseases need to be controlled to maintain the quality and abundance of food‚ feed‚ and fiber produced by growers around the world. Different approaches may be used to prevent‚ mitigate or control plant diseases. Beyond good agronomic and horticultural practices‚ growers often rely heavily on chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Such input to agriculture have contributed

Organic mulches help reduce erosion and conserve water. They also help moderate soil temperatures and discourage weeds‚ helping tomato plants grow larger and healthier. While it’s possible to buy commercial material for this purpose‚ converting fallen leaves into natural homemade mulch is both more environmentally friendly and less costly. Papaya leaves are an especially good choice due to their large size and potential insect-repellent abilities. Collection The average papaya leaf stays on the
