Activity C.1: Crop nutrition for vegetable plant propagation

Objectives:

The objective of this activity is to optimize organic tomato, pepper and cucumber transplant growth, colour, and vigour by developing new low-cost organic substrates and new cultural information and methods that the grower may use to minimize nutrient deficiencies. The study will build on previous and somewhat similar research conducted at the Pacific Agri-Food Research Centre to develop organic substrates for long-term production of organic greenhouse tomatoes (Zhai, 2009).
