The study examined how different fertilisation strategies affect tomato production and soil health across two distinct regions in Tanzania. Research compared the impacts of granular inorganic, foliar organic, and bio-fertilizers on plant growth and nutrient dynamics within both screen house and open field environments. The findings reveal that while granular fertilizers significantly maximize overall biomass and vegetative vigour, foliar applications are more effective at improving root architecture and specific nutrient absorption. The data also highlights critical site-specific differences, noting that soil texture and acidity levels in Kalenga and Mgera dictate how effectively plants retain essential macronutrients and micronutrients. Ultimately, the authors advocate for an integrated nutrient management approach that tailors’ fertilizer types to local soil conditions to overcome productivity gaps and zinc deficiencies. This comprehensive analysis underscores the necessity of balancing synthetic inputs with organic supplements to sustain long-term agricultural resilience in Sub-Saharan Africa.
