The study was done in soil under PE covered greenhouse, belongs to Agrobest Group, in Gaziler Village (Kepez-Antalya) during the winter-summer season of 2014 and Naram F 1 tomato cultivar was used as plant material. In the research conducted in heated greenhouse at farmer’ conditions with Naram F 1 tomato cultivar, three different doses of Symbion-N were used as treatments namely recommended dose (D, 300 ml da -1 ), half of recommended dose (D/2, 150 ml da -1 ) and two fold of recommended dose (Dx2, 300 ml da -1 ) and non-bio-fertilized treatment as control (0.0 ml da -1 ). Symbion-N was applied twice at transplanting and 15 days after transplanting via drip irrigation system. All of the seedlings were transplanted on January 1, 2014 as 2 plants per m 2 . The production was stopped on June 30, 2014 when plants reached to 6 th truss.. The experimental design was randomized parcels with 4 replicates and parameters related to plant growth, yield and fruit quality were determined. The results showed that plant growth and yield increased by the application of biofertilizer and the application of 300 ml per da (D) was found appropriate doze.  </div> </div> </div> </div>}, number={1}, publisher={Igdir University}
