Study on substrate formulation of soilless Seedling Lycopersicum esculentum

A study was conducted on the effect of the compound substrate with sawdust as the main material on the growth and development of Lycopersicum esculentum seedlingThe results showed that Lycopersicum esculentum seedling sowed in coast sawdust germinated without any abnormal phenomenon, but the growth of seedling was slow within 28 d after sowing and had significant difference with the CK While after 28 d, growth of Lycopersicum esculentum seedling in sawdust became fast and at 42 d after sowing, there was no statistically difference between seedlings of sawdust and the CK.So sawdust can be the substitute for peat as seedling substrate
