In order to study the problems of non cultivated land area cultivated vegetable,using mushroom residue,wheat straw,jerusalem artichoke straw,rape straw,river sand,cattle manure,sheep manure for experiment material,different substrate formulas to growth characters and photosynthetic characteristics of tomato were studied in greenhouse.The results showed that the growth characters and photosynthetic characteristics of tomato of substrate fomulas A(cattle manure),C(mushroom residue∶ wheat straw∶ river sand =4∶ 4∶ 2) and L(cattle manure∶ sheep manure∶ river sand =4∶4∶2) were better than others substrate formulas.Therefore,mushroom residue,wheat straw,jerusalem artichoke straw,rape straw,river sand,cattle manure,sheep manure could satisfy the growth of tomato in greenhouse,substrate formulas A (cattle manure),C (mushroom residue∶ wheat straw∶ river sand =4∶ 4∶ 2) and L(cattle manure∶ sheep manure∶ river sand =4∶ 4∶ 2) could be used as non cultivated land area tomato cuhivation substrate formula in greenhouse in Qinghai.
