Tissue Concentration of Tomato Plants as Influenced by Cyanobacteria (BGA) as Biofertilizer

Tomato (Lycopersicum esculentum, Mill. var. Azad T₂) plant raised in soil-pot culture condition with different doses, nil (control), 25, 50, 75, 100, 125, 150, 175 and 200 g bga (bga)/kg soil. As compared to control, 200g bga/kg soil showed highly significant (P=0.01) increase in dry matter yield of tops of 30 days, both tops and leaves of 90 days and fruits of 100 days old plants, and tissue calcium, potassium, magnesium and phosphorus content of both tops and leaves of 90 days growth. However, for tissue concentration of calcium, potassium, magnesium and phosphorus of tops of 30 days and fruits of 100 days showed highly significant (P=0.01) increase in the range of 100 to 175g bga/kg soil, over control.
