ISHS Acta Horticulturae 150: International Symposium on Substrates in Horticulture other than Soils In Situ

TOMATO PRODUCTION IN BARK SUBSTRATES

Author:   G.C.S. Wilson
Abstract:
An experiment is described on the use of bark as a substrate for tomatoes with and without the inclusion of peat, perlite, vermiculite and gel.

Results show that significantly higher yields were obtained with the inclusion of 20% perlite, and provided care is taken in watering and feeding; bark on its own gives very good yields without any other additions.
