Avaliação de diferentes produtos biológicos na produção de mudas de tomate visando o aumento de atributos biométricos

Abstract

Tomatoes are one of the most produced vegetables in the world, and due to their adaptation to the climatic conditions of Brazil, they can be easily grown in practically all states. This culture has a great demand in the marketboth in natura and in industrialized form, as it is considered a functional food with high nutritional contents. Increasing productivity, improving fruit quality and rationalizing the use of pesticides have been the subject of most scientific research carried out with the cultivation of tomatoes, especially table tomatoes. In view of the need for disease control alternatives and the healthy development of fruits and plants, this study aimed to evaluate different biological control products in the growth and development of tomato seedlings. The experiment wasconducted in Marialva PR, 8 treatments were tested as biological control to promote the initial development of seedlings, being analyzed the variables of mass, length and diameter of the plant. It is concluded through this work that the use of biological products as growth inducers for tomato seedlings is a viable alternative aiming at the production of quality seedlings, highlighting the studied variables mainlytheproductTrichodermathatwillact in symbiosis with the plant promoting better development of the plant or the three inoculants together.
