Effects of Different Microbial Organic Fertilizers on Yield and Quality of Tomato Grown in Greenhouse Condition

Vegetables have protective and healing effects on human health due to the containing and the increaseof these substances are associated with their grown conditions especially organic means. This study was carriedout to determine the effects of LIFEBAC-NP (L), NSAH (N) and SALUS EXHILARE (S) microbial organicfertilizers consisting of microbial formulations and natural products of plant origin in different doses [1000mL/100 L (A), 3000 mL/100 L (B), 5000 mL/100 L (C) and control (no application) (D)] on yield and qualityof organic grown Cevahir F1 tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) cultivar in greenhouse condition. The numberof fruit per plant, fruit weight per plant, total yield, fruit width and length, total soluble solid, pH, ascorbic acid,color properties, fruit shape index, dry matter yield parameters were evaluated on tomato cultivar. The fruitweight per plant and total yield in doses A and C treatments were found the highest in N microbial organicfertilizer. The fruit width in dose A treatment was determined the highest in L microbial organic fertilizer. Thehighest fruit shape index was obtained in D treatment and dose B of L treatment. The fruit number per plant(respectively 24.71 and 23.56), the total solid contents (5.80 %) and ascorbic acid contents (261.67 mg/l usare)in doses A and C treatments were found the highest in L microbial organic fertilizer. It is concluded that bothfruit quality and nutrient content could be significantly increased in tomato by using microbial organic fertilizers.
