A variety of microorganisms in rhizosphere affect plant health by plant growth promotion, mitigation of abiotic
stresses as well as protection from pathogen attacks. In our previous study, we selected a bacterium, Bacillus
mesonae H20-5, for alleviation of salinity stress in tomato plants. In this study, we verified the effect of a liquid formulation of B. mesonae H20-5 (TP-H20-5) on fruit production and phytochemical accumulation including lycopene and polyphenol in cherry tomato and strawberry fruits in on-farm tests of protected cultivation under
salinity stress. When vegetables including tomato, cherry tomato, strawberry, and cucumber were treated with TP-H20-5 by irrigated systems, final marketable yields were increased by 21.4% (cherry tomato), 9.3% (ripen tomato),
120.6% (strawberry), and 14.5% (cucumber) compared to untreated control. Moreover, treatment of TPH20- 5 was showed increase of phytochemicals such as lycopene and total polyphenol compared to untreated control in cherry tomato and strawberry. Therefore, these results indicated that a formulant of B. mesonae H20- 5 can be used as a potential biofertilizer for increasing fruit production and quality.
