The goal of the present experiment was to evaluate the effect of some biostimulants applications (Tecamin Brix version 2) on the organoleptic quality and production yield parameters of tomato Solanum lycopersicum L. grown under salt stress in the Nador region, Morocco. Climate change is becoming increasingly constraining for plant growth and development, especially in arid and semi-arid areas. These ecosystems are characterized by highly irregular rainfall associated with significant evaporation, which favours the accumulation of salts in the soil. Salt stress is considered in the semi-arid region as a limiting factor affecting crop production and quality. Biostimulants are substances that have the ability to modify plant physiological processes in such a way as to provide potential benefits to growth, development, or stress response. For this purpose, foliar fertilization with Tecamin Brix Version 2 ®, compensates for nutrient deficiency in the roots due to salt stress. The water-soluble fertilizer or a Tecamin brix® Version 2 substance was applied to the foliage to determine the effects on yield and fruit quality parameters of tomato, especially in the Mediterranean region with a high range of salinity.
