Abstract

Two varieties of tomato plants, H 1015 (1) and H 3402 (2) from two adjoining commercial farms located in San Benito, Extremadura and cultivated in the same soil and fertirrigation conditions, were inoculated with the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus Glomus iranicum variety Tenuihypharum, (AMF) from the commercial product Mycogrowth. The applied treatments to the plants were: control 1, AMF 1, control 2 and AMF 2. The physiological indicators and productive responses of the plants from the four treatments were studied. The percentage of mycorrhization, soil moisture, the growth of dry aerial biomass, leaf water potential (Ψ leaf), stomatal conductance (gs), photosynthetic rate (Pn) and performance of its components rate were evaluated 81 days after transplantation. The (Ψ leaf) and (Pn) were measured twice (10.00 and 13.00 h). The results showed that symbiosis between tomato plants and the AMF was successful. Plants of both varieties treated with AMF, had better physiological performance, increased leaf water potential, increased gas exchange (stomatal conductance and photosynthetic rate), and showed improvements in growth, quality and productivity at plot level. The positive effects of this fungus show that it could result of great importance for reducing the use of chemical fertilizers, at least partially, in the future.
