The Effect of Nitrogen Fertilizer Based on Pocket Fertigation on Growth and Production of Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.)
The tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is considered a significant horticultural crop in Indonesia and is widely consumed by the local population. It should be cultivated by more efficient water irrigation methods, such as pocket fertigation. This study aims to determine the effect of pocket fertigation-...
