Bombardier
Industrial tomato, varieties H1015 and H2401
Sevilla, Spain
The application of BOMBARDIER in industrial tomatoes of the varieties H1015 and H2401 caused an increase in productivity of 17% and 16% or 18,144 and 17,109 kg/ha, respectively. This increase is due to the fact that tomato plants treated with BOMBARDIER had greater vigor (Fig. 2) and greater number of active leafs, making process of photosynthesis (manufacture of sugar and biomass) longer and more intense, thus obtaining greater production of sugars in fruits.
