“…Using other organic acids such as citric and ascorbic acids, which are known for their stimulant activities on plants [ 24 ], could lead to synergetic effects, which might increase the performance of the biostimulant. Recently, several researchers demonstrated the stimulating effect of chitosan against abiotic stress on tomato plants [ 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 ]. Moreover, [ 29 ] reported that foliar application of chitosan ameliorates the negative impact of salinity on tomato plants through enhancing growth aspects and photosynthetic pigments.…”

In this study, the anti-stress capabilities of the foliar application of chitosan, dissolved in four different organic acids (acetic acid, ascorbic acid, citric acid and malic acid) have been investigated on tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) plants under salinity stress (100 mM NaCl). Morphological traits, photosynthetic pigments, osmolytes, secondary metabolites, oxidative stress, minerals, antioxidant enzymes activity, isozymes and protein patterns were tested for potential tolerance of tomato plants growing under salinity stress. Salinity stress was caused a reduction in growth parameters, photosynthetic pigments, soluble sugars, soluble proteins and potassium (K+) content. However, the contents of proline, ascorbic acid, total phenol, malondialdehyde (MDA), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), sodium (Na+) and antioxidant enzyme activity were increased in tomato plants grown under saline conditions. Chitosan treatments in any of the non-stressed plants showed improvements in morphological traits, photosynthetic pigments, osmolytes, total phenol and antioxidant enzymes activity. Besides, the harmful impacts of salinity on tomato plants have also been reduced by lowering MDA, H2O2 and Na+ levels. Chitosan treatments in either non-stressed or stressed plants showed different responses in number and density of peroxidase (POD), polyphenol oxidase (PPO) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) isozymes. NaCl stress led to the diminishing of protein bands with different molecular weights, while they were produced again in response to chitosan foliar application. These responses were varied according to the type of solvent acid. It could be suggested that foliar application of chitosan, especially that dissolved in ascorbic or citric acid, could be commercially used for the stimulation of tomato plants grown under salinity stress.

“…(Shehata et al, 2012). It can be used as both soil treatment and foliar spray and stimulate stress tolerance and improve performances of plants (Sofy et al, 2020a;Hassnain et al, 2020). Many studies revealed that foliar application of chitosan increased vegetative growth, yield and quality of vegetable crops (Abdel-Mawgoud et al, 2010;Ghoname et al, 2010;Fawzy et al, 2012).…”

This study was conducted to evaluate the potential effect of foliar spray with different doses of two bio-stimulants Chitosan (CS) and Royal Jelly (RJ) on growth and yield and quality of two garlic cultivars (Egaseed1 and Balady i.e(Egyptian) at two winter seasons of 2017/2018 and 2018/2019.Generally, the foliar spray of all tested biostimulates treatments considerably improves almost all plant growth traits of garlic cultivars which reflected on plants yield and quality. Data showed that spraying Ega1 plants with different doses of CS and RJ considerably increased total yield (TY) in both seasons as compared with control (13.39 and 14.64 tons). The highest values of TY were found in Ega1 plants treated with 0.1g/l RJ (15.29 and 15.80 tons) and 0.3g/l RJ (15.08 and 16.61 tons) at both seasons respectively. On the other side, there was clear increase in TY of Egy plants treated with different CS and RJ doses at both seasons as compared with control (7.57 and 8.69 tons, respectively). The highest values of TY were found in Egy. plants treated with 0.2g/L RJ (9.23 and 8.53 tons) at both seasons respectively as compared with all other treatments. As compared to control, foliar spray with CS and RJ reduced weight loss % and deterioration of bulbs during storage. In general, foliar application of chitosan (1000 and 1500 ppm) and Royal Jelly (0.2 and 0.3 g.L -1 ) could be recommended to improve productivity, quality and storability of the two garlic cultivars grown under Minia Governorate conditions.

Background In recent years, ecofriendly compounds such as chitosan has been used to alleviate the destructive effects of salt stress. Chitosan is a natural biodegradable compound with no toxicity in nature and act as a stress tolerance inductor involved in physiological processes and prevent water loss through transpiration. Tomato cv. Rio Grande grown in pots was subjected with salinity stress in the form of 4 levels (0, 50, 100 and 150 mM) whose effect was mediated by treating it with different concentration of chitosan (0, 50, 100 and 150 mg L−1). Results The data revealed that various application of salinity had a negative effect on almost all the studied parameters. Tomato plants treated with distilled water having no salinity (control) recorded maximum plant height (cm), average number of compound leaves plant−1, leaf area (cm2), stem diameter (mm), number of fruits plant−1, fruit firmness (kg cm−2), leaf chlorophyll content (SPAD), fruit juice pH, yield plant−1 (kg) and minimum total soluble solids (Brix°). Whereas, minimum plant height (cm), average number of compound leaves plant−1, leaf area (cm2), stem diameter (mm), number of fruits plant−1, fruit firmness (kg cm−2), leaf chlorophyll content (SPAD), fruit juice pH, yield plant−1 (kg) and maximum total soluble solids (Brix°) were found in plants treated with salinity level of 150 mM. Chitosan concentration of 150 mg L−1 significantly mediated the effect of salinity stress and recorded maximum plant height (cm), average number of compound leaves plant−1, leaf area (cm2), stem diameter (mm), number of fruits plant−1, fruit firmness (kg cm−2), leaf chlorophyll content (SPAD), total soluble solids (Brix°) and yield plant−1 (kg) with minimum fruit juice pH. Conclusion It is concluded that foliar application of chitosan at the rate of 150 mg L−1 and salinity stress 150 mM could have positive impact on performance of tomato.
