Field experiment was carried out in department of Food Science, Rufus Giwa Polytechnic, Owo, Ondo State, Nigeria to investigate the influence of cassava peels and poultry droppings composite and mineral fertilizer on the soil properties and proximate composition of local variety of tomato. The physicochemical properties of the soil showed that the ph (6.4), moisture (0.346%) and potassium (7.36mg/100g) content were higher in plot with inorganic fertilizer than in organically treated soil with 5.7, 0.324% and 6.06mg/100g respectively. The microbial load (cfu/g) of the soil revealed that organically treated soil has higher total bacterial count (9.8X105), total coliform (3.1X105) and total yeast/mould (4.5X105) than the inorganically treated soil with 6.6X105, 1.7X105 and 3.6X105 respectively. The proximate composition revealed that tomatoes harvested from inorganically treated soil were higher than those from organically treated soil.The experimental results confirmed that compost manure can be substituted to chemical nitrogenous fertilizer which has adverse effect after a long application.
