Abstract:

To screen the best seedling substrates formula for the growth of tomato, this paper investigated the effects of five different substrates formula on tomato sprouting rate, growth and development, seedling quality during the tomato seedlings in winter. The result showed that the growth indices of treatment T5 (peat:vermiculite=1:1), including seeding sprouting rate, stem diameter, root length, root weight, aerial weight, sound seedling index, G value, were significantly higher than those of other treatments. The result of treatment T1 (peat:vermiculite:perlite=1:1:1) was the worst in all the treatments.
