This experiment was conducted at the Plant Production Laboratory of the Instituto Tecnológico del Valle del Yaqui, located at 27°24ʹ46ʺ N and 110°07ʹ59ʺ W, under semi-controlled conditions. Objective: This research aimed to evaluate the response of tomato plants of the Amalia variety to the application of different doses of QuitoMax® under saline conditions. Design/Methodology/Approach: This study aimed to evaluate the response of tomato plants of the Amalia variety to the application of different doses of QuitoMax® under saline conditions. Results: The results indicate that the application of QuitoMax® under salinity stress conditions (ECe of 6 dS·m⁻¹) promotes plant development, enhances the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), improves gas exchange parameters, and increases chlorophyll content. Findings/Conclusions: The application of 350 mg·ha⁻¹ yielded the best results under saline conditions, with an increase of 0.40 kg per plant compared to the control treatment.
