Abstract

In order to evaluate biofertilization effect with
arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi on tomato crop (Solanum
lycopersicumL. cultivar Amalia) against abiotic stress, this
research was developed on local farm production for two
consecutive years (2010 and 2011). Tomato crop was
established in non-optimal season (April-July) for growth and
development.Glomus cubense was used which were obtained
solid and liquid inoculants. Inoculation was performed on
seedling stage at 2 grams.plant-1 (solid inoculum) and
2 mL.plant-1(liquid inoculum), averaging 40 spores.plant-1
in both cases. Plant height (cm), flower number, fruit number and yield (t.ha-1) were studied as response variables. Factible crop
yield was obtained depending season, which allows the AMF
use in solid and liquid formulation, benefiting farmers to
planting out season.
