Effects of Fungicide and Acetylsalicylic Acid Treatments on Qualitative and Quantitative Tomato Production
Abstract
By stimulating the plant defense system using acetylsalicylic acid, there were pursued various physiological parameters and productivity of tomato crop in the field, compared to a tomato crop treated with systemic fungicides and a sustainable culture treated with CuSO4 (Bordeaux) mixture. The experimental crop was made up of two tomato varieties, the Sibiu local population and Buzău 50, both with undetermined growth and the used treatments were produced of: Acrobat MZ 90/600 WP, CuSO4 (Bordeaux) mixture and acetylsalicylic acid. Thereby, it resulted six experimental variants located in three repetitions. Regular observations were made in the field, regarding the growth and the development of vegetative organs, of inflorescences and fruits, the quality and quantity production of tomatoes, depending on the variety and the treatment used. There were found significant differences in experimental tomato crops physiology. Buzău 50 variety crop, treated with aspirin significant increases number of leaves, flowers and fruits. Both variety tomato crop productivity, treated with aspirin was significant incresed. The groups treated with aspirin had significantly higher production compared to groups treated with fungicide. Acetylsalicylic acid generate a normal growth and resistance to the fungal pathogens for tomatoes.
