Field experiments were conducted at Zabcice (South Moravia, Czech Republic) during the years 2005 and 2006 to evaluate the effects of different organic, organomineral and mineral fertilizers on the yield and quality of the bush tomatoes variety Proton. The following fertilizers were tested: Agormin T, Agro, Dvorecky agroferm, cattle farmyard manure and solo mineral fertilizer. Experimental plots were fertilized to achieve the same level of nutrients in the soil. Fertilizers did not significantly influence either total or marketable yield. Fertilizing with Agro resulted in the highest number of fruits (81 per square m). The application of Dvorecky agroferm significantly increased ascorbic acid concentration in fruits, whereas the application of Agro decreased it significantly in comparison with farmyard manure. The highest nitrates concentration was recorded for the control, the lowest one for mineral fertilizers. All tested dried organic and organomineral fertilizers were efficient alternatives to traditional farmyard manure.
