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.
