California researchers mixed discarded tomato waste into soil and covered it for biosolarization. The decomposing food waste raised temperatures by about 2°C and created conditions that could help kill soil pests

California researchers explored an unusual way to reuse discarded tomato waste by mixing tomato pomace into soil for biosolarization. The decomposing food waste raised soil temperatures by about 2°C and changed soil conditions in ways that could help suppress soil pests, offering a potential link between food-waste recycling and sustainable agriculture.
