Main Article Content
Abstract
effects on plants, such as, induction of defense mechanisms
and stimulation of plant growth, besides it having the
advantage of not being harmful to plants and the environment;
the oligosaccharines and inside them the chitosan and its
derivatives are an example, they exert positive effect on
growth and development of plants. This work was carried
in field condition with the overall objective of evaluating
the effect of different concentrations (0,1, 0,5 and 1,0 g L-1
),and its application by imbibition and foliar spray product
QuitoMax® on growth, development and yield and its
components of tomato (cultivar Mara). The results showed
a positive effect of byproduct from the seeds imbibition on
concentration of 1,0 g L-1 stimulating growth variables that
were evaluated in the nursery; moreover, the combination
soaking plus foliar spray at a dose of 0,3 g ha-1
at 7 days after transplantation, stimulated yield components of plants and
increased crop yields by 55 % compared to control treatment.
