Abstract

This research aimed to compare growth, yield, and quality of tomato, a commercial variety “Sida”, which was grown in alkaline soil with 2 methods; for example, no sun hemp compost, and mixed with sun hemp compost. Each method complied with 100 tomato plants: devided into 5 replications, and 20 plants per replication. The results showed that tomato that was grown in alkaline soil mixed with sun hemp compost has got a survival rate, growth, and yield higher than in pure alkaline soil (p<0.05). However, the percentage off fruit setting, quality of product, and amount of carotenoids were non-significant (p>0.05).
