Abstract To explore the effect of half no-tillage cultivation on growth of tomato（ Solanum lycopersicum L.），this paper took‘Fugui No.6’ as test material and measured 7 indexes of above-ground part vegetable growth，including：plant height，weight of stems，number of blades，weight of leaves and root biomass，root distribution and root shoot ratio，respectively.Then comparative analysis was carried out between half no-tillage cultivation and traditional cultivation.Results showed as follows：（1） No matter from transplanting to removing the shoot apex，or after removing the shoot apex，the plant height，weight of stems，number of blade and leaf weight of tomato by half no-tillage cultivation were all significantly superior than that by traditional cultivation.（2） Root biomass of the whole plant and that between soil layers of 0 to 20 cm by half no-tillage cultivation was also superior to that by traditional cultivation，and the root distribution tended to shallow soil layer apparently.
