Abstract

A field experiment was conducted on a typical
lixiviated Red Ferralitic soil in 2000 and 2001, with the objective
of studying the agrobiological effectiveness of combining
beneficial microorganisms and bioactive products on tomato
development, yield and quality. Treatments consisted of
coinoculated plants (Glomus clarum-Azospirillum brasilense)
with leaf spraying of Biostan as a bioactive product at different
stages of plant development. Results showed a harmonic and
ecologically compatible relationship between both products,
enabling an appropriate plant nutritional state, as well as yields
of 35 t.ha-1, it being superior by 17 % to the production check;
on the other hand, fruits from these treatments had a better
bromatological quality.
