“…The application of continuous liquid composting manufactured using Microgeo ® biofertilizer in soil did not increase the yield of organic mini tomato crop (Araujo et al, 2016). According to Araujo et al (2016) the lack of significance of the biofertilizer may be related to the amount of organic matter present in the soil and addition of bovine manure and organic fertilizer, which mineralized, masking the effects of the biofertilizer. Mesquita et al (2014) reported that the commercial biofertilizer Microgeo ® did not cause qualitative or yield benefits for two melon cultivars.…”

“…Moreover, the biofertilizer application improves the soil physical properties (Galbiatti et al, 1996). The biofertilizer features described above sustain the fact that it can help increasing the yield of crops, although some researches are controversial (Mesquita et al, 2014;Aparecido et al, 2017;Kumar et al, 2014;Araujo et al, 2016). It should also be noted that biofertilizers are much more economically attractive than conventional chemical fertilizers (Freitas et al, 2015).…”

Rice is the most important crop for the south and south-west region of the Rio Grande do Sul state (Brazil); as all commercial crops, irrigated rice is requiring the use of alternatives for increasing yield and quality of its product with less aggressive/toxic inputs in the environment. The aim of this study was to analyze the influence of the biofertilization in the rice crop yield and the parameter of its seed quality and grain quality. It was carried out a field experiment with two treatments (with and without biofertilization with 150 + 150 L CLC® ha-1) with 12 repetitions in an irrigated rice. Biofertilization did not influenced the percentages of whole grain, polished grain and no broken grain. There were no difference between the treatments for final seed germination, seed hectoliter weight and pH. The rice yield with biofertilization using continuous liquid composting was not statistically higher, an expected result for a first year of biofertilization. However, it provided 398 kg ha-1 grain yield increase, which is a very positive and a promising result considering being the first year of application. Therefore, a significant yield increase for the following years of application is expected.

“…The increased interest of consumers makes the cultivation of mini tomatoes an attractive option. However, in addition to the lack of cultural management research (Maciel et al, 2016), the cultivation predominates in greenhouse conditions (Araújo et al, 2016;Candian et al, 2017), which needs more initial investments.…”

The objective of this research was to evaluate the effect of three plastic-mulching films of different colors in the cultivation of mini-tomato in the field. Two experiments were carried out: the first being sown in the summer and the second in the winter. Mini-tomatoes plants with distinct growing habit (determinate and indeterminate) were used and three plastic-mulching film color (black, black/silver, black/white) compared to control (uncovered soil) were tested. The design was in randomized blocks, 2x4 factorial schemes, with four repetitions. Soil temperature, productivity performance and quality of mini-tomatoes were determined. The plastic-mulching films increase the average soil temperature according to the color used. In summer, although small, the black/silver film improves the productive capacity of the mini-tomato with determined growth habit; however, none affects the total soluble solids content. In winter, the black plastic-mulching film favored the soluble solids content of both genotypes and the productivity of the indeterminate. The black plastic-mulching film is suggested as soil cover to produce mini-tomatoes in field conditions during the winter. In summer, low fruit yield quality can makes this technique unfeasible under field conditions.

“…In 2018, the cultivated area was 41,336 ha with a yield of 19 t ha -1 (SIAP, 2018). This yield is considered low due to inefficient water management (LÓPEZ-LÓPEZ et al, 2008), environmental factors and pests and diseases (SANTIAGUILLO-HERNÁNDEZ et al, 2009), and because there is a lack of research in protected production agriculture systems (REIS et al, 2013;PEÑA-LOMELÍ et al, 2014;ARAUJO et al, 2016). There are also few studies on plant densities among other determining factors, that could possible increase yield and obtain the potential yield of 83.8 t ha -1 mentioned by SOLDEVILLA-CANALES et al (2002) for this crop.…”

Physalis ixocarpa Brot. (tomatillo or Husk tomato) is one of the five major vegetables cultivated in Mexico, but its yield in the field is low. However, greenhouse crops and the enhancement in plant density can promote an increase in yield per area. The aim of this research was to evaluate: yield, water consumption and water use efficiency of variety husk tomato ‘Diamante’. The experiment was conducted under field and greenhouse conditions, during the two crop cycles (autumn-winter and spring-summer), with different planting densities (1.5, 2 and 3 plants m-2), in complete random blocks and three replications. The yield was influenced by the planting density and environments. In both environments, the planting density, with 3 plants m-2 increased yield 32 %, and 25% in water use efficiency (WUE). In greenhouse increased 32% yield m-2 and the WUE it was 18.1 kg m-3 while in the field was 16.4 kg m-3. Crop cycle spring-summer produced differences of 27% in plant length and 15% in stem diameter, probably due to the temperature that was 4 ºC higher with respect to autumn-winter.
