SUMMARY:

Tomato is a vegetable of great importance, being among the most consumed and cultivated in Brazil and in the world. It is an Andean plant that has become popular worldwide due to its wide application in gastronomy, also having nutritional importance mainly because it contains a high concentration of lycopene, a relevant antioxidant that can contribute to the prevention of several diseases. Because it is a plant of great interest, with a high demand for nutrients and high levels of contamination by pesticides, efforts are needed to seek more sustainable means of production (considering socio-environmental and economic aspects). The aim of this study is to evaluate how microorganisms with potential to promote plant growth, which have not yet been studied, can contribute to the health and productivity of organic tomatoes in protected cultivation, thus serving as yet another agroecological alternative that helps to mitigate the environmental impacts generated by agricultural production, without losing sight of the quality, productivity and profitability of crops.
