- Intervention effect Salinity decreased tomato root and stem length and plant organ fresh and dry weights.
- Intervention effect Salinity reduced days to 50% flowering and fruit set in tomato.
- Intervention effect Salinity reduced tomato leaf relative water content and N, P, K, and Ca contents.
- Intervention effect Salinity diminished tomato yield and its components.
- Intervention effect Salinity increased tomato specific leaf weight, osmotic pressure, and water use efficiency.
- Intervention effect Salinity increased tomato non-marketable yield.
- Intervention effect Salinity increased tomato fruit TSS, vitamin C, TA, and firmness.
- Intervention effect Salinity enhanced Na and Cl contents in young and old tomato leaves.
- Observation Na and Cl concentrations were higher in older than younger tomato leaves under salinity.
- Intervention effect Bio and organic fertilizers increased tomato growth, fruit set, mineral contents, sugars, yield, and fruit vitamin C under salinity.
- Intervention effect Bio and organic fertilizers improved tomato plant water status and water use efficiency.
- Intervention effect Bio and organic fertilizers reduced tomato leaf Na, Cl, proline, and electrolyte leakage.
- Intervention effect AM+PGPR had greater salinity alleviation than either component alone.
