bioproduct, cultivars, saline soilAbstract
Context: Salinity hinders plant growth, especially affecting vegetables. Therefore, strategies such as biofertilization are necessary to improve yield under these conditions. In this context, DIMARGON has demonstrated efficiency in enhancing new research outcomes.
Objective: Evaluate the response of tomato cultivars (Solanum lycopersicum L.) biofertilized with DIMARGON on salinized Vertisol soil
Methods: Cultivars 'T-60' and 'FL-5' from INIFAT, and cv 'Daniel' and 'Pablo' from IIHLD were used with two treatments: an absolute control and one with the incorporation of the DIMARGON biofertilizer. The research was conducted under semi-controlled conditions.
Results: Notably, cultivars 'T-60' and 'Pablo' inoculated with DIMARGON showed significant differences in plant height, root length, number of leaves, and dry mass compared to other treatments. Nevertheless, all cultivars exhibited positive responses to biofertilization, indicating the effectiveness of this bioproduct.
Conclusions: This study provides valuable information supporting biofertilization to benefit tomato cultivars under saline soil conditions.
