Tomato plants (S. lycopersicum cv. Roma) were sown in 15 mL multipots for 15 days. Subsequently, the plants were transplanted to 250 mL pots in each growth media for 20 days (the end of the experiment). Multipots and pots were placed in a growth chamber (25± 2C, 16 h [h] of light at 180–210lmol m2 s1 photosynthetic photon flux density [PPFD] and 60–80% relative humidity [RH]). Plants were hand irrigated on the media as needed (50 and 100 mL solution mL1 medium day1 in the multipot and pot period, respectively) with the following nutrient solution: 0.5 g L1 Peter’s Foliar Feed 27-15-12 (Scotts), 0.22g L1 CaCl2 and 0.25g L1 MgSO4 7H 2O.
