Tomato Growth and Soil Health Data from Fungal-Fermented Straw Amendment Experiment

A single-season greenhouse pot experiment tested fungal-fermented corn straw products (FSP) at six different application rates and two soil incorporation depths. Measurements included tomato yield, fruit quality, soil health indicators, biochemical responses, and molecular responses. The dataset was published by Tianhao Song on figshare under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Modeling the relationship between organic amendment application rates and tomato yield based on described yield measurements.
• Analyzing the impact of soil incorporation depth on fruit nutritional quality based on lycopene and vitamin C data.
• Studying shifts in soil microbial communities in response to organic amendments based on mentioned taxa like Streptomyces and Sphingomonas.
• Assessing the trade-off between agricultural benefits and antibiotic resistance gene (ARG) proliferation based on ARG level comparisons.

Strengths

• Includes measurements for multiple response variables: yield, fruit quality, soil health, and molecular data.
• Compares six specific treatment combinations of application rate (0.5–5% w/w) and depth (3 and 10 cm) against a control.
• Results show a specific 30% yield increase and 20–40% rise in fruit nutrients for the optimal treatment.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The data is from a single greenhouse pot experiment, which may limit generalizability to field conditions.
