Abstract
Tomato plants were grown in a calcareous soil fertilized with two orga nic wastes (sewage sludge and epicarp-mesocarps of a almonds). They we re irrigated with three levels of salinity resulting from the addition of NaCl to tap water. Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn and B were analyzed in the fruit s and leaves during the harvesting period. The treatments had a signif icant effect on Fe and Zn concentrations, and it was not so clear for Mn, Cu and B contents.
