Ascorbic Acid Influences on Growth and Yield of Tomato

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated in various metabolic reactions in plants are mostly known for toxicity. Whereas ascorbic acid (AsA) involves in various physiological and biochemical processes; and acts as a ROS scavenger. Therefore, the experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of exogenous application of AsA on growth and yield of tomato plants. The ROS scavenger AsA was applied in the leaves of tomato plants in four treatment combinations (T1-Control; T2-0.5 mM; T3-2.0 mM and T4-4.0 mM) with three replications. Among the treatments, AsA at 4.0 mM (T4) efficiently increased leaf length (12%), inflorescence length (17%), and flower number (29%) than the untreated control plants. AsA at 0.5 and 2.0 mM also showed positive effects on the plant morphology to a lesser extent. Importantly, AsA at 4.0 mM increased yield by 18% than the control treatment. In physiochemical parameters, AsA at 4.0 mM (T4) was retained 64.07% higher chlorophyll content than the control plant even after 60 days of application. Exogenous application of AsA effectively reduced oxidative stress of the plant, which was attributed to the less accumulation of H2O2 and lipid peroxidation of membrane lipids. AsA at 4.0 mM decreased H2O2 and MDA accumulation by 39% and 45%, respectively, compared with the control plants. Therefore, exogenous application of AsA is a useful tool to enhance growth and yield of tomato under field conditions by lowering the accumulation of ROS and lipid peroxidation. Ann.

APPLICATION OF ORGANIC FERTILIZER RICE WASHING AND WATER PRUNING OF TOMATO (Lycopersium esculentum Mill) FOR OPTIMUM GROWTH AND RESULTS

ABSTRACT
 Organic farming continues to grow in line with the rapid market demand for organic fruit and vegetables. In our country, organic agriculture is experiencing rapid development due to the fact that agricultural products, especially fresh vegetables and fruit, are grown using organic farming systems. Organic agricultural products are starting to attract consumers, especially the upper middle class, who are willing to pay more for food products that are healthy, safe, and environmentally friendly. The purpose of this study was to determine the use of organic fertilizers for washing rice water and pruning water shoots on the growth and yield of tomato plants. The research was conducted in Gunung Kelua village, Samarinda, East Kalimantan for approximately 4 (four) months, from March to July 2020. This study used a randomized block design arranged 3x2 factorial with 3 replications. The first factor is liquid organic fertilizer which consists of 3 (three) levels, including: P0 Without Treatment, P1 (Liquid Organic Fertilizer 250 ml / l water), P2 (Liquid Organic Fertilizer 500 ml / l water). The second factor is pruning water shoots consisting of 2 (two), namely T0 without pruning water shoots on tomato plants, T1 by pruning water shoots on tomato plants. The results showed that the application of liquid organic fertilizer had no significant effect on plant height, but had a significant effect on the number of fruits and production.

The Effect Of Paclobutrazol Concentration And Types Of Organic Liquid Fertilizer On The Growth And Production Of Tomató (Solanum Lycopersicum L.)

Tomatoes are a horticultural commodity that has the potential to be developed because it has high economic value and great export potential. The increase in tomato needs is often not offset by increased production so that Indonesia has not been able to meet the needs of national tomatoes, in addition to the issue of food quantity has shifted to the issue of food quality and food safety by using natural ingredients. This study aims to determine the concentration of paclobutrazol that can simulate reproductive growth and the best type of liquid organic fertilizer in replacing chemical fertilizers to increase the growth and yield of tomato plants. The combination of paclobutrazol concentration and liquid organic fertilizer is expected to increase tomato yield. This study used a plot design divided into two factors, namely the concentration of paclobutrazol and the type of liquid organic fertilizer with 16 combinations of treatments repeated 3 times. The first factor is the concentration of paclobutrazol with 4 levels, namely 0 ppm, 100 ppm, 150 ppm, and 200 ppm. The second factor is the type of liquid organic fertilizer with 4 levels of NPK fertilizer 25 grams / plant, water hyacinth 150 ml / plant, banana peel 150 ml/plant, and NASA 150 ml / plant. The results showed interactions in the total number of fruits per plant, the total fresh weight of fruit per plant, and the percentage of fruit sets. Paclobutrazol concentration of 100 ppm and the type of liquid organic fertilizer banana skin, 150 ml/ plant showed the highest yield in the number of fruits per harvest period (12 pieces), total fruit count per plant (63 pieces), fresh weight of fruit per harvest period (436.63 grams), total fresh fruit weight per plant (1815.80 grams), and percentage of fruit set (76.83%).

Nondestructive Quantitative Analysis of Water Potential of Tomato Leaves Using Online Hyperspectral Imaging System

HighlightsWe developed an online measurement system for water potential of tomato plants using hyperspectral imaging.We used Linear Discriminant Analysis to automatically and quickly extract the leaf images.We used SNV scattering correction to remove the spectral variations caused by collecting the defocused leaf images.We developed a prediction model of leaf water potential based on spectral image information.Abstract. Tomatoes have different water requirements in each growing period. Excessive water use or insufficient water supply will affect the growth and yield of tomato plants. Therefore, precise irrigation control is necessary during cultivation to increase crop productivity. Traditionally, the soil moisture content or leaf water potential has been used as an indicator of plant water status. These methods, however, have limited accuracy and are time-consuming, making it difficult to be put into practice in tomato production. This study developed an online hyperspectral imaging system to measure the leaf water potential of tomato nondestructively. Linear Discriminant Analysis was utilized to automatically and quickly extract the leaf images, with the recognition accuracy of 94.68% was achieved. The mathematical processing of Standard Normal Variate scattering correction was used to remove the spectral variations caused by the defocused leave images. The developed leaf water potential prediction model based on the spectral image information attained using the developed system achieved the standard error of calibration of 0.201, coefficient of determination in calibration set of 0.814 and standard error of cross-validation of 0.230, and one minus the variance ratio of 0.755. The obtained performance indicated the feasibility of applying the developed online hyperspectral imaging system as a real-time non-destructive measurement technique for the leaf water potential of tomato plants.

Influence of ozonised irrigation water on the morphological, bacteriological and sensory characteristics of ‘Saint-Pierre’ tomatoes grown in Algeria

This article focuses on the study of the influence of ozonised water irrigation on the morphological, bacteriological and sensory characteristics of ‘Saint-Pierre’ tomatoes grown in Algeria. The results were compared with those irrigated with non-ozonised tap water called control of the same varietal type and grown under the same conditions. The work was carried out on seedlings of tomatoes grown and irrigated with ozonised water at different ozonisation times: 10- seconds, 20- seconds and 30-seconds, corresponding to lot I (tomato at 10-s), lot II (tomato at 20-s) and lot III (tomato at 30-s), respectively. Irrigation with ozonised water does not cause defects in shape, skin or colour of the fruits. They are, distinguished by a round shape, very red in colour, consistent and slightly acidic in taste. With good microbiological stability in accordance with the standard and good organoleptic quality except for the taste character of tomatoes at 30-seconds where a majority of evaluators estimated that ‘they were bland and no big difference for the other criteria analysed. In general, our results showed that the ozonisation of irrigation water improves the growth, development, vigour and yield of tomato plants without altering the marketability of the fruits. This process encourages the use of ozonised water in agriculture since it has a high added value from an environmental and economic point of view and it can be generalized to other crops.

On contrast, fruit contents of T.S.S and dry matter significantly increased with increasing the saline water levels up to 4000 ppm and the seaweed extract concentrations at 800 ppm. Also, the data indicated that fruit content of ascorbic acid significantly increased from using the 2000 ppm level saline water and the concentration of 800 ppm seaweed extract. In this respect, it could be concluded that the application of the seaweed extract concentration at 800 ppm was the most effective to decrease the adverse effect of saline irrigation water on the growth and yield of tomato plants.

Bioactivity of Humic Acids Extracted From Shale Ore: Molecular Characterization and Structure-Activity Relationship With Tomato Plant Yield Under Nutritional Stress.

The increasing demands for biostimulants in the agricultural market over the last years have posed the problem of regulating this product category by requiring the industry to make available the information about efficacy and safety, including the explanation of mode of action and the definition of bioactive constituents. In the present study, we tested the biostimulant proprieties of a sedimentary shale ore-extracted humic acid (HA) on Micro Tom tomato plants under increasing nutritional stress and investigated the correlation with the chemical features of HA by means of ultra-high resolution FT-ICR MS, FT-ATR, and 13C-NMR. Humic acid application proved effective in alleviating the nutritional stress by improving nutrient use efficiency, with results comparable to the control treatment supplied with higher NPK nutrition. Increased yield (up to +19%) and fruit quality (in the range +10–24%), higher ascorbic acid content and a better root growth were the main parameters affected by HA application. Molecular-level characterization identified the possible chemical drivers of bioactivity, and included flavonoids, quinones, and alkaloids among the most represented molecules, some of which exhibiting antioxidant, pro-oxidant, and antimicrobial activity. The redox effect was discussed as a determinant of the delicate homeostasis balance, capable of triggering plant defense response and eventually inducing a protective priming effect on the plants.

Purified monoammonium phosphate fertilizer promotes the yield and reduces heavy metals accumulation in tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum L.)

Monoammonium phosphate is a commonly used fertilizer for better crop production. However, its repeated application causes the accumulation of harmful metals levels in plants and soil over time. Here, the impact of the purification of monoammonium phosphate fertilizer on vegetative growth and yield of tomato plants (Lycopersicon esculentum L.), and the heavy metals accumulation in both soil mix and tomato fruits was investigated through a pot experiment on three different concentrations of purified and unpurified monoammonium phosphate fertilizer. This study showed that the purification of monoammonium phosphate led to a significant enhancement on vegetative growth and yield attributes, mainly for 1 g/L of purified fertilizer. Importantly, the physicochemical investigations showed a significant reduction in heavy metals accumulation (Pb, Cr, Cd, Ni, and V) in the fruits and the soil mix treated with purified monoammonium phosphate. This study confirms that the use of purified monoammonium phosphate fertilizer improves the fruit yield and at the same time reduces the impact of toxicity of heavy metals present in the environment, which can be classified as a part of an environmental management systems.

Growth and yield of tomato plants (Lycopersicum esculentum Mill) grown in soil media containing several doses of inorganic fertilizers and sprayed with Lombok brown algae extracts

Excessive use of inorganic fertilizers in the production of horticultural crops, increases production costs, decreases soil fertility and damages the environment. This article reports the growth and yield of tomato plants grown in soil media containing several doses of inorganic fertilizers and sprayed with Lombok brown algae extract. Tomato plants are grown in soil media containing inorganic fertilizers at a dose of 0, 50% or 100%. Then, each treatment plant was sprayed with 10% Lombok brown algae extract once a week during vegetative growth. The results showed that each Lombok brown algae extract had the same effect on NPK absorption, growth and yield of tomato plants. However, the effect of algae extracts on the absorption of essential elements, growth and yield of tomato plants is highly dependent on the dose of inorganic fertilizers supplied in the soil medium. The absorption of essential elements, growth and crop yields significantly increased in plants grown in soil medium containing 50% inorganic fertilizers and sprayed with 10% Lombok brown algae extract, compared to plants containing 0 inorganic fertilizers. This shows that the use of inorganic fertilizers can be reduced to 50% as long as the plants are sprayed with 10% Lombok brown algae extract.

EFFECTS OF RICE HUSK BIOCHAR ON THE GROWTH CHARACTERISTICS, RHIZOSPHERIC MICROFLORA AND YIELD OF TOMATO PLANTS

Human activities have degenerated nearly 40% of the universe soil through excessive chemical inputs, tilling and industrial activities. Biochar can increase soil fecundity, agricultural producti- vity and protects soil-borne diseases. This study aimed to assess the efficacy of rice husk biochar on the growth and yield of tomato plants. Biochar was produced through feedstock (rice-husk) pyrolysis and used as soil amendments at different concentrations (20 t/ha and 40 t/ha) and an unamend soil served as control. Physicochemical properties of the soil, rice husk, biochar and biochar soil before and after planting were determined using standard methods. Rhizospheric microflora of the plants were isolated and identified based on morphological and biochemical characterizations. Agronomic parameters such as plant height, stem girth, leaf area, number of leaves, flowers, fruits and weight of fruits were determined. Results revealed that rice husk biochar (40 t/ha) had the highest physical and chemical parameters while the unamend soil had the lowest constituents. Predominant bacterium and fungus are Bacillus subtilis and Aspergillus niger. Agronomic parameters: plant heights, stem girths, leaf areas, number of leaves, flowers, fruits and weight of fruits were higher in all the amended soil than the control at the various growth stages. The unamend soil yielded no fruit at 10th week while the amended soil yielded an average fruit weight of 34.95g ± 8.76 and 21.53g ± 5.16 at 20 t/ha and 40 t/ha respectively. This study revealed that biochar produced from rice husk could be used to improve growth and yield of tomato plants.&#x0D; &#x0D;

INFLUENCE OF GREENHOUSE SHADING AND DIFFERENT NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT PRACTICES ON ALLEVIATING HEAT STRESS, IMPROVING PLANT NUTRIENTS STATUS, FLOWERING GROWTH AND YIELD OF TOMATO

The experiment was conducted in a greenhouse during 2017 and 2018 growing seasons to evaluate the impact of the shading and various nutrition programs on mitigating heat stress, reducing the use of chemical minerals, improving the reproductive growth and yield of tomato plant. Split-plot within Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications was conducted in this study. Shading factor was allocated in the main plots and the nutrition programs distributed randomly in the subplots. Results indicate that shading resulted in the decrease of daytime temperature by 5.7˚C as an average for both seasons; thus a significant increasing was found in leaf contents of macro nutrients (Nitrogen, Phosphorous, and Potassium), and micro nutrients (Iron, Zinc and Boron), except the Iron content in 2018 growing season. Furthermore, shading improved significantly the reproductive growth and tomato yield. Among the plant nutrition programs, the integrated nutrient management (INM) including the application of organic substances, bio inoculum of AMF and 50% of the recommended dose of chemical fertilizers; lead to the enhancement of nutrients content, reproductive characteristics and plant yield. Generally, combination of both shading and INM showed positive effects on plants nutrient status and persisting balance on tomato flowering growth and fruits yield.
