Tolerance of tomato crop to salinity of soil in protected ambient

In order to contribute to data available in the literature on tolerance of crops to soil salinity derived from fertilizer salts, the present study aims to determine the tolerance of tomato crop to the soil salinity, based on two managements of fertirrigation and six initial levels of salinity (1.0; 2.0; 3.0; 4.0; 5.0 and 6.0 dS m-1) from the variables production and components of production, in a protected environment with sandy-clay soil. The experiment was conducted at the Department of Biosystems Engineering of ESALQ/USP, Piracicaba/SP. The experimental design was in randomized blocks, with 4 repetitions. Concluding that the production and the components of production of tomato crop were significantly affected both by the type of management of fertirrigation and by the levels of soil salinity, with a reduction in the tolerance of tomato crop, being classified as sensitive to soil salinity.
