Abstract

The effects of root restriction on Lycopersicon esculentum Zheza 204（tomato）plant growth，fruit yield，quality，and color-changing period in a substrate culture with 1，3，5，and 7 L cubage pots （7 L treatment served as a control） were studied. Results showed that root restriction inhibited plant growth，plant height，and stem thickness with an increase in inhibition as growth period increased. At the first measurement plant height and stem thickness cultured in 1 L pots were both 80.06% of those in the 7 L pots，but at the second measurement in 1 L pots plant height was 50.06% and stem thickness was 77.48% of the 7 L pots. With root restriction fruit quality increased，namely soluble solid content（18.72%），lycopene content （50.67%），and titratable acid content （49.28%）. However，root restriction did not have a strong effect on vitamin C content. Root restriction also delayed initiation of the fruit color-changing period; whereas completion of the color-changing period was consistent with the control meaning that the total color-changing period was shortened. In addition，yield decreased with root restriction. Thus，root restrictions inhibited plant growth，improved fruit quality，shortened the color-changing time，and at the same time，reduced fruit yield.［Ch，7 fig. 1 tab. 23 ref.］
