Treatments effect of biofungicide Carbecol and biofertilizer Ecolit on the nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium contents in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) plants

Abstract

The impact of treatments with ecological plant protection products on nutrient status of tomato plants is not elucidated. A green house experiment was conducted with the purpose to determine the influence of treatments with a new biofungicide Carbecol and biofertilizer Ecolit on nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium contents in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.), cultivar Tolstoy. The experiment included 6 variants, a control one (untreated) to which no treatments were applied. Carbecol was applied alone or in combination with biofertilizer Ecolit. Experimental results revealed an increase in the nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium contents in treated tomato plants. Hence, the results of the study demonstrated that the integrated use of ecological plant protection product Carbecol and biofertilizer Ecolit has the potential to improve mineral nutrition of tomato plants.
