Conclusions: Tomato grown with Daniels organic fertilizer grew and yielded as well as the standard inorganic fertilizer in two locations 2005. At one location, Daniels was compared to a chicken litter slurry injected into the fertigation system. Tomato yield was significantly greater with Daniels than with the chicken litter organic fertilizer system.
