Effect of different concentrations of bioslurry on the germination and production of tomato seedlings (Solanum lycopersicum L.)
Tomato is one of the main horticultural products in Argentina. Its cultivation is intensive in the use of fertilizers and pesticides, which negatively impact the environment. The chemical fertilizers commonly used are, to some extent, gradually being replaced by liquid biofertilizers. A liquid biofertilizer (bioslurry) made from goat manure, fresh plant residues, and some mineral inputs was physicochemically characterized. To evaluate its effect on tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) performance, two trials were conducted between October and November 2020: a seed germination test with increasing bioslurry dilutions (0 to 15%); and another trial in a greenhouse located in Luján de Cuyo, Mendoza, to evaluate the effect of different doses of bioslurry (5, 10 and 15%), compared to a commercial fertilization plan for seedlings in plastic trays. The experimental design used was completely randomized plots in both cases. Bioslurry at concentrations above 5% negatively affected tomato seed germination. The biofertilizer achieved a nutritional effect on seedlings compared to the unfertilized control. However, this effect was inferior to the treatment with commercial fertilizers. It is advisable to initiate applications of bioslurry after seedlings have emerged. Further studies are needed on biofertilizer use concentrations, doses, application frequencies, and suitability for different crops. Also, to achieve the effect of a commercial fertilization program, it will be necessary to combine enriched bioslurry with other bio inputs that complement plant nutrition.

El tomate es uno de los principales productos hortícolas en la Argentina. Su cultivo es intensivo en el uso de fertilizantes y pesticidas, que impactan negativamente al ambiente. Los fertilizantes químicos de uso habitual son, en cierta medida, gradualmente reemplazados por biofertilizantes líquidos. Un biofertilizante líquido (biol) elaborado en base a estiércol de cabra, restos vegetales frescos y algunos insumos minerales, fue caracterizado fisicoquímicamente. Para evaluar su efecto en el desempeño del tomate (Solanum lycopersicum L.), se realizaron dos ensayos entre octubre y noviembre de 2020: una prueba de germinación de semillas con diluciones crecientes biol (0 a 15%); y otro ensayo en un invernadero ubicado en Luján de Cuyo, Mendoza, para evaluar el efecto de las diferentes dosis de biol (5, 10 y 15%), comparado con un plan de fertilización comercial de plántulas en bandejas plásticas. En ambos casos se utilizó un diseño de parcelas completamente aleatorizadas. El biol en concentraciones superiores al 5% afectó negativamente la germinación de las semillas de tomate. El biofertilizante logró un efecto nutricional en las plántulas, comparado con el testigo sin fertilizar. Sin embargo, este efecto fue inferior al tratamiento con fertilizantes comerciales. Es recomendable iniciar las aplicaciones de biol luego de que las plántulas hayan emergido. Se necesitan mayores estudios respecto de concentraciones de uso, dosis y frecuencias de aplicación de los biofertilizantes y su adecuación a diferentes cultivos. Asimismo, para lograr el efecto de un programa de fertilización comercial, será necesario combinar bioles enriquecidos, con otros bioinsumos que complementen la nutrición vegetal.
