Abstract
Chitosan is a biopolymer which has great capability in various ways of agricultural practices such as plant growth promotion and increase yield of various crops. Thus, the aim of this study was conducted to investigate the effect of chitosan on promoting the growth of tomato in vegetative stage and study the results of chitosan at different degree of concentration on the growth of tomato by Completely Randomize Design. The results obtained from this experiment showed that the chitosan at concentration of 0.5-1.5 mg/ml did not affect the stem diameter but affected leaf number, plant height, dry weight, chlorophyll amounts, and absolute growth rate (AGR). It also indicated that the 0.5 mg/ml of chitosan solution is the best concentration to promote growth of tomato through increasing leaf number (32 %), root dry weight (77.6 %), and plant dry weight (41.8 %) compared to control, respectively. In addition, the total chlorophyll content in leaf of tomato treated with chitosan solution also increased from 8 to 12 % compared to the control group.
