Biological effectiveness of the drug Esfon use for tomatoes

Abstract

Tomatoes play a leading role in providing the population of Russia with vegetable products, which is due to their high productivity, good taste properties, diverse use, ability to cultivate in open and closed ground, and, consequently, to consume them all year round. Based on the fact that the consumption of tomatoes is growing every year, the main task is to increase the yield and quality of fruits. One of the ways to solve this problem is, according to research data, four-fold treatment of tomato plants in the phase of milk ripeness with Esfon at a dose of 1.0l/ ha, which is due to obtaining a high yield of good quality fruits (6,204 kg/m2, in the control - 5,108 kg/m2, HCR05 = 0.250 kg/m2) and a reduction in the maturation period, in comparison with the control, is 14 days.
