Field experiment was conducted at the Directorate of University Farms, Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta, Ogun State, Nigeria during the early and late cropping seasons, 2019. Treatments were: composted municipal solid waste (CMSW); composted home sorted waste (CHSW); pyrolyzed municipal solid waste (PMSW) and pyrolyzed home sorted waste (PHSW) all applied at the rate of 10 t ha-1, set up in a 5 × 2 factorial arranged in randomized complete block design in three replicates. Roma VF and Ibadan-local tomato varieties were test crops. Data were collected on plant height (PH), stem girth (SG), number of leaves (NL), number of flowers (NF), total number of fruits (TNFr) and cumulative fruit yield (CFY). Data were subjected to Analysis of Variance and means were separated using Duncan’s Multiple Range Test (DMRT) at p<0.05. Treatments had significant effects on growth performance of tomatoes. Incorporation of PHSW enhanced PH, SG, NF and NFr in both planting seasons while CHSW enhanced only NL in both planting seasons. Plots amended with PHSW enhanced CFY at early (1019 t ha-1) and late (269 t ha-1) seasons compared to other amendments. However, Roma VF performed better at early season while Ibadan local responded well at the late season probably due to their adaptability and physiological factors during growing period. It is concluded that composted and pyrolyzed home sorted wastes improved growth performance in organic tomato production while planting of Roma VF at early season and Ibadan local at late season are therefore recommended for optimal production of tomato.
