Biobrás and Fitomas-E effect in growth of tomato cv. Undetermined in greenhouses
Abstract
An experiment was carried out at the Agricultural Farm Spartacus in Cienfuegos province, in order to evaluate the impact of Fitomas-E and Biobras-16 on tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum, Mill), during winter season, under a protected facility. The trial was conducted in a completely randomized design with 20 replicates per treatment. Each plant was evaluated according to the following variables: height, diameter, number of bunches of flowers and fruits, number of leaves, number and quality of fruits, and yield per treatment were also estimated. Results indicate that applications of Biobrás-16 at 0.01, 0.05 and 0.1 and Fitomas E increases the development and yield of tomato of indeterminate growth in greenhouses and are economically feasible to increase production levels between the 16 and 18.9%.
