Effect
No effect on nitrogen N use efficiency
CycoFlow treated E42 tomato had 12% higher chlorophyll content when subjected to combined heat and drought stress compared to untreated combined stress plants.CycloFlow treated E32 tomato had increased plant height, leaf number and shoot fresh weight when under heat and drought stress compared to untreated control. CycloFlow treated LA3120 tomato had increased leaf number under heat and drought stress compared to untreated controls. CycoFlow treated E42 and LA1320 tomato had a similar nitrogen balanced index compared to untreated controls.
