Abstract

The application of biostimulants, especially arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), green compost (C), and chitosan (Ch), is considered an innovative strategy for promoting crops yield, managing soil health, and replacing peat and chemical fertilizer’s use. The present study showed that plants grown in soil amended with compost promoted stem length, root elongation, and plant biomass. A combination of biostimulants, specifically C + Ch or C + Ch + AMF, led to stomatal conductance, chlorophyll fluorescence, and chlorophyll contents rise, which was resulted in the plant growth’s promotion, compared to compost supply to the soil. Moreover, Ch application to shoots affected negatively the activity of AMF and consequently the levels of easily extractable (EE-GRSP) and total glomalin-related soil proteins (T-GRSP) were reduced. In addition, weight, fruit size, moisture content, and the levels of lycopene, phenolic compounds, and flavonoids were increased in fruits when plants received dual biostimulant, C + Ch and C + AMF. These results indicate that the application of either C + Ch + AMF, C + Ch, or C + AMF can substitute the use of peat due to their ability to improve the vegetative growth, yield, and fruit quality of tomato.
