Abstract

In order to study the effect of foliar application of seaweed extract as a bio-stimulant ‎agent on some quantitative and qualitative traits of tomato, a factorial experiment was ‎conducted in a randomized complete block design with four replications in 2014 and ‎was implemented in the greenhouse mechanized Gol Azin Maghsoud company located ‎in Toos Industrial Township of Mashhad. The treatments consisted of seaweed extract ‎at four levels (distilled water) of 1.2 and 3 ml/L (seaweed extract with Stimplex brand) ‎and cultivars in three levels: Hungarian Mobil, Mobil's Dutch and Super Queen. The ‎results of the experiment showed that the concentration of 2 ml/L had a significant ‎difference in the number of panicles, number of internodes, date of flowering and ‎number of fruits per panicle. In this research, there were no significant differences in ‎other studied traits, but there was a significant difference between the cultivars‎.
