Effect of Ascorbic acid and organic fertitizer seamino on growth and yield of tomato plant (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.)

Abstract

A pots experiment was conducted during the season of (2017 - 2018) to find out the effect of different concentrations of Ascorbic acid and  Seamino and their interactions in growth and yield of tomato plant (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) plant .

The design of the experiment was Randomized Complete Blocks (RCBD) in a factorial arrangement (3 × 3), with three replicates, the first factor included three concentrations of Ascorbic acid (0, 2,3) g. L^-1, and the second factor included three concentrations of organic fertitizer Seamino (0, 3 and 4) ml. L^-1. Means were compared by using averages revised least significant difference (RLSD) at 0.05 probability level the referred to the results:

1- The use of Ascorbic acid significant improvements showed in the height plant , total chlorophyll , number of fruit , vitamin C and total  yield  .

2- The use of use seamino increased the height plant , total chlorophyll , number of fruit , vitamin C and total  yield  .

3- The interaction of 2 g. L^-1  Ascorbic acid with 3 ml. L^-1   of organic fertitizer Seamino led to significant increased in the height plant and  total  yield  .

4- The interaction of 2 g. L^-1  Ascorbic acid with 4 ml. L^-1   of organic fertitizer Seamino led to significant increased in the  total chlorophyll and vitamin C   .
