Description
Summary:A field pot experiment was implemented in the Faculty of Food and Agriculture Farm in Al-Ain area, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, located in Lat. 24 N and Long. 56 E with 302 m altitude during 2007/2008 over four months growing season. The experiment was done to evaluate fertilizer use efficiency, nutrient uptake, and yield of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) as affected by Pentakeep-V. The experimental design was a split-split plot design with application method as main plot (Foliar application (AM1), Soil application (AM2), and Application rate (0.01%(L1), 0.02% (L2), 0.04% (L3)) and time interval as sub plots (One week (W1), two weeks (W2), and three weeks (W3)).A control treatment with zero level (0.00%, L0) of Pentakeep-V was included for comparison. Results showed all Pentakeep-V foliar treatments showed a significantly (P
