| This research aims to rationalize the applications of water and mineral fertilizers for tomato crop, in order to obtain clean organic food, and to maintain the quality and quantity of production. Three biological treatments were applied: first using magnetization technology to improve the drainage water ability to reuse it. Second using proline as an amino acid and third using yeast extraction as an alternative fertilizer. The applied treatments included three levels of magnetized water (1000, 2000 and 3000 gauss); two levels of proline (50 & 100 ppm) and two levels of yeast extract at concentrations of (5& 10%) compared with control treatment. Whereas, five of groups of measurements were carried out to; illustrate the effects of the applied treatment. The measurements were deduced on each of: soil properties, crop growth indicators, flowering time, crop yield and crop quality. The gained results of the present study indicated that applying the magnetized water (3000 G) with proline (100 ppm) at 10 % yeast extract reduces the electrical conductivity (EC) by reduction ratios of (45.09 & 50.19 %), while the soil acidity reduced by (28.93 & 25.08 %) than control through the tested seasons. Also, the mean increment ratios of the plant heights were increased by (25.19 & 25.41%) than control. However, the flowering period was increased up to 88 days. The quality indicators ratios (T.S.S and vit. C) were increased by {(9.39 & 9.0)and (34.2% & 33.50) %} orderly, while tomato acidity and blossom end rote ratios were decreased by {(7.90 & 8.0) and (0.390 & 0.405) %} only than control. As well, the increment ratios in crop yield (y) and the net earn were {(30.10 & 27.87) and (33.19 & 30.24%) orderly than control for (2015 & 2016) seasons. | ||||
