Abstract:The application of garden waste compost teas (CTs) in sustainable agriculture constitutes a biostimulant and environmentally friendly alternative. The purpose of this work was to study the physicochemical properties of three CTs prepared with different brewing processes (CT1, CT2, and CT3) immediately after extraction and six months later to determine whether those properties changed over time and evaluate the effect of CT application on tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) plant growth. The brewing process had a … Show more
