A study evaluated six food waste composts as a fertility source and water management tool for field-grown tomatoes. Compost amendments improved soil moisture retention, reducing plant water stress. In most cases, compost alone provided sufficient nutrients, yielding results comparable to conventional fertilizers. Compost combined with organic fertilizers consistently met or exceeded conventional yields, highlighting compost’s dual role in enhancing soil health and crop productivity.
