(46N–0P–0K) was applied as sidedressing 3 weeks after transplanting at the rate of 120 kg·ha −1 . At Chambezi and Malolo (the coastal zone sandy soil trial locations), decomposed cow dung was applied during plot preparation immediately before
decomposition and eliminate the need for microbial inoculation. Moreover, farmers can safely use the frass fertilizer byproduct in their vegetable crop production ( Quilliam et al. 2020 ; Terrell 2022 ), which can reduce costs ( Beesigamukama et al. 2022 ). For
