The treatments involved a combination of sole and intercropped combination with NPK and rubber effluent application rates laid out in a randomized complete block design in three replications. Pre and Post-harvest soil analysis was carried out and data were collected on Particle size, Soil pH, Available Phosphorus, Exchangeable bases, total nitrogen and exchangeable acidity. The chemical analysis of the rubber effluent used for the study showed that it was moderately acidic with total dissolved solids, chemical oxygen demand and biochemical oxygen demand at safe levels (Table 2). It contained total N, available P, organic C, K, Mg, Na and Ca in appreciable amount. However, the composition of the effluent varies with sources. The results of the  post-harvest fertility status of the soil, showed that the soil was improved, which implies that rubber effluent and NPK reduced soil acidity as the reaction changed from strongly acidic to moderately acidic. The soil analysis after the harvest of snake tomato showed that the soils benefited from the amendment with fertilizers (NPK and rubber effluent) and the soils improved with the application of NPK and rubber effluent.</Abstract><CompanyAddress/><CompanyPhone/><CompanyFax/><CompanyEmail/></CoverPageProperties>
