It might sweeten your tomatoes but there are other, more interesting effects of adding sugar to your soil:
- Microbes will be attracted that make nutrients in the soil more available, so you need less anorganic fertilizer: you save money, avoid soil salinization and decrease carbon footprint
- Sugar helps your soil to longer hold water available for your plants
I DON'T BELIEVE IT!!!! (this is from another person)
I did an experiment on mung bean plants where I watered 3 plants with sugar and 3 plants with water, I conducted my experiment for 21 days, on the last day, the height of the 3 regular plants in centimeters were 15 and two measured 15.5 centimeters.
The sugar watered plants had the heights of 7, 4.5, and 3 centimeters
I added 1/2 tablespoon of sugar and mixed it with 6 oz of water and poured 2 oz. of the mixture in each pot,
by the way I germinated them beforehand with just water.
The 7 centimeter plant of the sugar lost all of its leaves
The sugared leaves were very small and shriveled, while the regular leaves grew big and healthy
That is why i don't believe it!

What would happen to the plant population if the number of decomposers decreased?
The plants would not have enough nutrients from the soil because the decomposers are not around to decompose dead things and get the nutrients back into the soil.
What part of the plant gets water and minerals in the soil?
The roots of a plant is the part that gets water and minerals from the soil.
How does bacteria affect soil?
Soil bacteria are the natural soil microorganisms that break down soil components into plant food.
Does a dead plant or a rock decompose in soil?
Plant matter decomposes; rocks erode; both contribute to soil quality and type.
What effect does the amount of water have on plant growth?
If a plant's soil has too much water, the roots can rot, and the plant can't get enough oxygen from the soil. If there is not enough water for a plant, the nutrients it needs cannot travel through the plant.
Which sugar will make the plant grow faster brown sugar or white sugar?
both are not good for you. however, alot of people thinks that brown sugar is actually better, but this is not true. "Brown sugar, through clever marketing, has no nutritional differences than white sugar." See link for Food Genetics

NO sugar isnt from the soil becuase Plants use photosynthesis to turn Where_do_plants_get_their_foodenergy into sugar for the plant to eat.
What are the white things in soil?
soil in the ground: usually maggots Plant soil from store: plant food
How does watering a plant with sugar water effect the plant?

it would get dried out.
What will happen to the plant if the is died?
