Comparative examination of shoot height in Solanum lycopersicum cultivars (Manó, Kecskeméti 549, and Mobil) exposed to asbestos-contaminated irrigation water. Significant reductions in shoot height were observed at both 1 mg/l and 50 mg/l concentrations (p ≤ 0.05), with greater inhibition at higher doses. The reduction was most prominent in the 50 mg/l dose, where shoot height was reduced to 56.0% (Manó), 59.6% (Kecskeméti 549), and 57.8% (Mobil) compared to the control group.
