Abstract
The Experiment was conducted on different soil types at the Botanical Garden of the University of Ilorin. The project was aimed at comparing the performance and yield of two (2) varieties (NGB00722 and NGB00692) of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) on loamy, sandy and clay soils. The results showed that the most suitable soil type for both tomato varieties is loamy soil. The variety, NGB00722, produced fruits, while NGB00692 did not produce any fruit due to the abortion of all the flowers formed. It was deduced that NGB00692 was probably not adapted to the environmental condition of the experimental site after receiving an adequate and equal amount of watering. Tomato in sandy soil, although had recorded the highest (7.60) amount of magnesium absorption, grew relatively better than that of clay, but both did not grow as much as that grown on loamy soil. There was a low (0.64) amount of ash in the fruit of tomatoes in loamy soil. This research work showed that the most suitable soil type for tomato variety NGB00722 is loamy soil.
