Effect of phosphorus (P) doses on tomato seedlings production in poor nutrients substrates and its importance on fruit yield

Year: 2017

Type: article

Abstract: The effect of P on different plants and several growth stages are well known to scientists, but there is little information on the effect of P after transplanting the seedling until harvesting.The current study aimed to evaluate the effect of P on tomato seedling and fruit production of Paronset hybrid.Therefore, six treatments (0, 15, 30, 45, 60 and 75mg L -1 P) were evaluated in a randomized complete block design with four replications.Monoammonium phosphate (MAP) was used as P source, in addition to coconut fiber substrate.A linear increase was obtained for leaf area, seedling height, shoot and root fresh matter at 75mg P L -1 .However, yield and fruits characteristics were not affected by increasing P doses on seedlings.
