4 Limitations of this study and future research directions This study was conducted at a single site during one growing season, which may limit the generalizability of the findings under different environmental conditions. The nutrient composition and release dynamics of the home- made organic fertilizer were not fully characterized, which may affect reproducibility due to variability in raw materials and composting processes, as widely reported in composting studies FIGURE 4 Representative images of cherry tomato fruits under different fertilizer treatments at harvest.
