In Cuba the low tomato crop yield lead to the search for new alternatives to sustainably increase yields. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the synergistic effect of low doses of X-rays and Biobras-16 on the increased yield and its components in tomato plants as well as select the optimal combination for use in agriculture. Fresh seeds of the variety of tomato var. Vyta, were exposed to single and combined treatment with X-ray dose of 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 Gy and Biobras-16 in concentrations of 0.5; 1.0; 1.5 and 2.0 mg.L-1. The experiments were conducted during the months of October to January 2007-2010. The results showed that the combination of 20 and 25 Gy dose of X-rays and 1.5 and 2.0 mg.L-1 Biobras-16 caused a stimulating effect on yield and its components in tomato plants. Also, in this investigation was determined that the optimal treatment to achieve a synergistic effect on yield per plant was 30 Gy + 2.0 mg.L-1, which induced increases in yield and its components. Our results suggested that low doses of x-rays and Biobras- 16 have the potential to improve crop productivity of tomato plants through the improvement of plant yield and yield components. |
