Effect of Pseudomonas putida, Compost, and Humus on the Growth and Yield of Tomato

Abstract

This study was designed to investigate the growth and yield of protected tomatoes under the influence of biofertilizers, compost, and Humus. Two levels of bacterial fertilizer (S0 and S1), three levels of compost (C0, C1, andC2) t/ha-1, and three levels of Humus (H0, H1, and H2) kg/t. The traits of plant height, chlorophyll, vitamin C, and total yield were measured. The experiment was applied according to a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. The results present the efficacy of the treatment (S1 + C2 + H2) compared to the control treatment by resulting in the highest average of the studied traits: plant height, chlorophyll, vitamin C, total yield 109.50 cm/plant-1, 66.25 mg/100g-1 fresh weight, 29.23 mg/100ml-1*juice, 8.90 t/ha-1, respectively
