Abstract：The fermented corn straw was used to make mixed substrate for tomato seedling culture through adding peat and vermiculite at different ratios,and then the effects of the mixed substrate on growth and physiological properties were studied.The results showed that the mixed substrate with 50% of fermented corn straw,25% of peat and 25% of vermiculite had the best effect,and the plant height,stem diameter, fresh root weight,fresh weight of total plant,root activity and chlorophyll content of tomato seedlings were the highest.In conclusion,the fermented corn straw could substitute peat partly for culture of tomato seedlings.
