The aim of the study was to study the effect of mycorrhizal preparations on the growth, development and yield of tomato plants. The article highlights the results of research on the use of mycorrhizal biological preparations of the BTU-Center company and their effect on the phenological phases of growth and development, biometric parameters and yield of tomato plants in open ground conditions. According to the results of the conducted research, it was found that mycorrhization contributes to the reduction of the interphase period vegetative mass growth – the beginning of fruiting of the plant. In particular, the beginning of fruiting phase began 6 days earlier compared to the variant without the use of mycorrhizal preparations.
