Summary
Using organic fertilizer made from waste materials is beneficial for both the economy and the environment, promoting sustainability and reducing pollution. In hydroponics, decomposition converts these materials into fertilizer, with multiple parallel mineralization (MPM) enabling efficient nutrient conversion by microorganisms. The tomato cultivar “Momotaro Next” was cultivated hydroponically in order to determine whether organic fertilizer derived from soluble bonito fish waste (OF) through MPM could be used in tomato hydroponic cultivation compared with a chemical nutrient solution treatment (CF). In this study, ammonium (NH4+) was generated through the OF decomposition process. During cultivation, the ammonium concentration tended to increase, while the nitrate (NO3−) concentration tend
