Effect of Fitomas on the growth and yield of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) Rilia variety

A study was carried out to evaluate the effect of applying Fitomas biostimulant on tomato crop variety Rilia in the CPA organoponic "Hermanos Castillo", Corralillo municipality in the province of Villa Clara. For this purpose we used an experimental design in randomized blocks was used. Applying three doses of Fitomas at 18, 36 and 54 days after transplantation and an untreated control, replicating four times each treatment. At 12, 25 and 36 days after transplantation, an evaluation of indicators of plant growth was done. Some yield components like, number of bunches, number of flowers and fruit number at 30, 40 and 50 days after transplant respectively. Also the yield and the mean fruit weight at harvest took into account performance and mean fruit weight was taken into account at harvest. The application of Fitomas stimulated plant height and diameter of the stem. Yields means increased by 13 %, 40 % and 20 % with doses of 0.2 L ha(-1), 0.6 L ha(-1) and 1 L ha(-1) respectively. The dosage 0.6 L ha(-1), was the most effective in the stimulation of plant growth and tomato yield. It is necessary in future studies to evaluate the effect of the ages of dose Fitomas in other varieties of tomato and other crops and take into account the economic feasibility of using this byproduct in agriculture.
