La búsqueda de bioestimulantes no microbianos para optimizar la producción hidropónica sustentable es un área de investigación en constante expansión; sin embargo, el efecto sinérgico entre los hidrolizados proteicos y el silicio (Si) en cultivos hortícolas aún no ha sido completamente dilucidado. El presente estudio evaluó el efecto bioestimulante de la aplicación conjunta de tres hidrolizados proteicos (de origen animal, vegetal y mixto) y tres concentraciones de Si (10, 15 y 20 mg L-1) sobre el crecimiento, el rendimiento y la tasa de asimilación neta de CO2 de las plantas de tomate uva (Solanum lycopersicum L.) cultivadas en sistema hidropónico, así como sobre las características químicas del sustrato y del lixiviado. Se utilizó un
diseño de bloques completos al azar con arreglo factorial 3 × 3, con cuatro réplicas. Los resultados mostraron que el hidrolizado de origen vegetal mostró mayor potencial bioestimulante al incrementar la producción de biomasa, tamaño, peso, rendimiento de frutos, así como la tasa fotosintética neta, pero una reducción de los sólidos solubles totales. El Si elevó la asimilación neta de CO₂ a 20 mg L-1 sin afectar el tamaño ni rendimiento. En el sustrato, el hidrolizado vegetal aumentó el pH del sustrato y disminuyó la conductividad eléctrica y los nitratos, lo que sugiere mayor eficiencia en el uso del nitrógeno. El potasio no fue afectado por el hidrolizado, pero sí por las dosis de Si, especialmente con las dosis de 10 y 20 mg L-1. No se detectaron interacciones significativas entre ambos factores para la mayoría de las variables evaluadas. La aplicación de hidrolizado proteico de origen vegetal, mejora el crecimiento y el rendimiento del tomate uva y promueve un ambiente radicular más estable y una mayor eficiencia en la asimilación de nitratos.
