Effects of Bacteria Inoculation on Yield, Yield Components and Mineral Contents of Tomato

Abstract

In this study, the effects of the bacteria grafting increasing plant growing were studied to determine its effects on yield and some yield components of tomato. Tülin F1 tomato genotype was used as trial material and a total of 10 different applications consisting from 52/1-E43, 21/3F, 17/3N, E43 F, 637 Ca, MFDCa1, 52/1, 21/3+637Ca, 52/1 Zeatin bacteria races and control were used as application. According to the results of the study, yield was changed between 4603,4 kg.da^-1 and 7409.9 kg.da^-1. 21/3F, 52/1, 21/3+637 Ca applications had first sorts. Average fruit weight was obtained from 131.48g to 183.00g and the highest value was taken from 17/3N application. Plant height was changed between 197.5 cm and 212.2cm and, 21/3+637 Ca, 52/1 Zeatin, 17/3N, control had first sorts. Plant internode length was between 8.0 and 8.3 cm and control had the highest value. Root neck diameter changed between 15.9 mm and 19.7 mm and 21/3+637 Ca had the highest value. In common, while the results of study had difference, 21/3F, 21/3+637 Ca and 17/3N bacteria races applications had positive effects on yield and yield components of tomato. 637 Ca, E43F and 21/3+637 Ca applications had positive effects on mineral content of tomato.
