- Intervention effect Low conductivity solution increased spring total tomato yield.
- Intervention effect Low conductivity solution increased average marketable fruit weight in spring.
- Intervention effect Blossom-end rot was slightly higher in fall under the highest conductivity treatment.
- Intervention effect High conductivity solution increased foliar nitrogen, potassium and zinc concentrations in spring tomato.
- Intervention effect High conductivity solution increased foliar manganese concentration in spring tomato.
- Intervention effect High conductivity solution decreased foliar calcium concentration in spring tomato.
- Observation Peat substrate conductivity exceeded that of applied solutions, indicating salt accumulation despite periodic overwatering.
