Tobacco is a crop of economic importance in tropical countries; it generates significant income in small agricultural areas. Within the agrotechnical activities that are carried out on this plant, biofertilization with Autochthonous Microorganisms (AM) represents a viable option for production with low inputs. Therefore, the objective of the research was to determine the biofertilizer effect of AM on black tobacco cv. Havana-2000. The experiment was carried out on a farm located in Los Cayos, Yara, Granma, Cuba, during the period November-February/2021. For this, the yield variables and the components were measured in the field. Statistical processing was performed using ANOVA and principal component analysis. The AM recorded four groups of microbes: bacteria (7x1012 CFU.mL-1) Lactobacillus sp. and Rhodopseudomonas sp., the fungi (3x1011 CFU.mL-1) Trichoderma sp., Aspergillus sp. and Penicillium sp., the yeasts (2x1011 CFU.mL-1) Saccharomyces sp. and Candida sp. and the actinomycete Streptomyces sp. (1x1010 CFU.mL-1). In the field, the AM biostimulated between 15 - 82 % of the yield and the components, achieving the best results at the dose of 36 L.ha-1. Finally, the importance of using AM as an organic alternative for tobacco biofertilization is demonstrated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
