Effect of foliate biofertilizer application, biostimulant and micronutritious on the culture of tomato (<em>Lycopersicon esculetum</em>)

Abstract

The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of foliar biofertilizer application and biostimulants, besides their combination in the growth and in the number of fruits and racemo of tomato culture, cv. Jumbo (Lycopersicon esculetum Mill.). The experiment was carried out in the county of Marialva, north of Paraná, in area of Terra Roxa Estruturada Eutrófica. The experimental design used was randomized completed with four replicates, as each plot was composed by two lines of plants driven by vertical tutor. Fourteen days after the transplant 10 pulverizations were accomplished with weekly intervals. The treatments were: Aminon- 25, Microfol, Biofertilizers without micronutritious, Biofertilizers plus micronutritious, Aminon-25 +microfol, as the treatment without any product to check. The treatments that contained micronutritious, increased the number of fruits for plant, not differing statistically from each other, however. Regarding to the racemo number, the treatments that contained biostimulants were the best ones.
