Abstract: 

Municipal Solid waste (Viz. Kitchen Waste) compost amendments caused significant improvement in soil quality and growth and yield of Lycopersicum esculentum Mill with the increase in Municipal Solid waste (Viz. Kitchen Waste) compost amendments at following levels i.e. Control, 60, 120, 180 and 240 tons ha -1. Edible part of Lycopersicum esculentum Mill grown in Municipal Solid waste (Viz. Kitchen Waste) compost amended soils accumulated Cr, Cu, Zn, Fe, Pb and Cd. Based on the data obtained we found that soil amended at 180 tons ha-1 Municipal Solid waste (Viz. Kitchen Waste) compost not only improved the physical properties of the soil but also contributed to better growth and yield of Lycopersicum esculentum Mill in red soil of bundelkhnad region
