The treatments were: T1: 80 % Sand- 20 % Vermicompost (SV), T2: 80 % Sand- 20 % Solarized manure (SSM1), T3: 80 % Sand - 20 % Pelite ?Steiner solution (SPSS), T4: 80 % Sand- 5 % Soil - 15 % Vermicompost (SSoV), T5: 85 % Sand - 15 % Solarized manure (SSM2) and T6: 80 % Sand - 5 % Soil - 15 % Solarized manure (SSoSM). The organic substrates T5, T4, T1 and the control (T3) obtained larger fruits and yields. The lycopene content in tomato fruits grown in the organic substrates was 26 % higher than that obtained in the control treatment. Organic fertilizers improve the nutraceutical quality of tomato fruits, without signi cantly degrading yield. </span></p></div></div></div>}, number={10}, journal={Ecosistemas y Recursos Agropecuarios}, author={Salas Pérez, Lilia and García Hernández, José Luis and Márquez Hernández, Candido and Fortis Hernández, Manuel and Estrada Arellano, Josue Raymundo and Esparza Rivera, Juan Ramón and Preciado Rangel, Pablo}, year={2016}, month={dic.}, pages={169–175} }
