t0“Productivity of an Intensive Tomato Crop”
e1“The results showed that the periodic supply of biofertilizers based on PGPB increased the harvest yield (20–32%) and favored the development of larger fruit sizes, which are economically more valuable, and the incomes increased even more than production (32–52%)”

- Intervention effect Biofertilizers positively affected the solubilization of P and K in tomato soil.
- Intervention effect Biofertilizers promoted P levels in tomato leaves.
- Intervention effect Periodic PGPB inoculation favored the mobilization of nutrients from soil to tomato fruits.
- Intervention effect Biofertilizers allowed a reduction of up to 20% in synthetic fertilizer use in tomato production.
