Application of Municipal Biowaste-Derived Products in Tomato Cultivation for Enhanced Fruit Quality Attributes and Nutritional Profile.

ABSTRACT: Enhancing plant nutrient use efficiency, yield, and quality without compromising sustainability remains a critical challenge in agriculture. Utilization of materials such as biowaste derivatives as alternatives to conventional agrochemicals (e.g., fertilizers, biostimulants) can be leveraged to optimize crop productivity and resilience while adhering to sustainable practices. A soluble bioproduct (BP), isolated from the hydrolysis of anaerobic digestates derived from organic residues of urban waste, was examined for its capacity to enhance tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) production and quality. Five basal fertilization treatments were applied: conventional (CF), conventional/organic (CF + OF), bioproduct at 150 kg ha^-1 (BP), and conventional/BP at 150 and 300 kg ha^-1</
