Tomato Growth and Soil Nutrient Data from Fertilizer Trials in Tanzania

140.0 KB of data from a study comparing granular inorganic, foliar organic, and bio-fertilizer impacts on tomato production and soil health. The dataset, created by Levocatus Rwegoshora and last updated in May 2026, includes results from screen house and open field experiments in two Tanzanian regions, Kalenga and Mgera. It examines effects on plant biomass, root architecture, and nutrient absorption.

Use Cases

• Modeling the relationship between fertilizer type and plant biomass partitioning based on the described experimental treatments.
• Analyzing site-specific soil effects on nutrient retention based on described differences in soil texture and acidity between Kalenga and Mgera.
• Comparing the efficacy of synthetic versus organic inputs on long-term agricultural resilience as discussed in the study findings.
• Investigating strategies to address zinc deficiencies in crops based on the integrated nutrient management approach advocated by the authors.

Strengths

• Data compares three distinct fertilizer strategies (granular inorganic, foliar organic, bio-fertilizers) across two environments.
• Findings are grounded in site-specific soil conditions from two Tanzanian regions, Kalenga and Mgera.
• Dataset is licensed CC-BY-4.0, permitting open sharing and adaptation.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale modeling.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is small (140.0 KB), indicating a limited scope of observations.
