Summary
ABSTRACT Tomatoes ( Solanum lycopersicum ) are widely cultivated for nutrition and economic importance; quality losses of 25%–45% during cold storage pose a significant problem. In soilless cultivation, bio‐fertilization using beneficial microorganisms can extend shelf life by enhancing nutrient uptake and physiological resilience. This study investigated the efficacy of bacterial (AG: Arthrobacter globiformis ; SG: Streptomyces griseus ) and fungal (AO: Aspergillus oryzae) bio‐fertilizers applications on cluster tomatoes (Cletego F1) grown in soilless culture and during cold storage. Using a randomized complete block design with three replications, fruits harvested at the pink‐ripe stage were stored in Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) at 8°C and 90% humidity for 21 days.
