Growth of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. var. Maigaya) in different soil-volcanic ash combinations
The potential of Mt. Pinatubo ash for the growth of tomatoes (Lycopersicon esculentum var. Maigaya) was determined. Tomatoes were grown in different soil-ash combinations. These combinations were 0.0 percent, 25 percent, 50 percent, 75 percent and 100 percent volcanic ash mixed with 75 percent, 50 p...
