Overview

Plant growth-promoting bacteria enhance tomato flowering and yield under irrigation, indicating sustainable agriculture strategies.

Key Points

  • This research evaluates the effect of bacterial strains on tomato growth under different irrigation conditions.
  • Assessment of Kocuria rhizophila and Brevibacillus porteri on tomato performance
  • Application of bacteria as seed coatings or post-emergence inoculants
  • Comparison of outcomes under full and deficit irrigation regimes
  • Post-emergence application of FSP120 increased plant height and leaf number
  • FSP120 enhanced flowering onset by over 1 week
  • FSP120 improved marketable fruit yield by 16% under full irrigation and 11% under deficit conditions
  • Lycopene and carotenoid concentrations improved by 23-29%
