The soil is one of the most important resources of mankind, being the physical support as well as providing the supply of nutrients that plants need to grow and bear fruit. It is well known from specialized research that the application of products based on microorganisms can improve the physical and chemical qualities of the soil and also the productivity of culture. The present study examined the efficacy of two products Rizobac and Bactilis on 3 tomato hybrids Kingset (red fruit), Bucanero (black fruit), Buffalosun (yellow fruit) grown in protected spaces (plastic tunnels), in the Scărișoara district of county Olt. The experiment took part in 2 years, 2022 and 2023. The culture was established by seedling (seedling maturity = 60-65 days) and after planting in the plastic tunnels, the technology specific to tomatoes was applied. The results showed that were considerable differences regarding length (cm) and root volume (cm3) from 16% in terms of root length to 98% higher volume for plants treated with products used. Furthermore, the application of Rizobac and Bactilis improved soil apparent density, total porosity, and compaction degree. In summary, based on statistical correlation tests, it can be con
