During 2004 in the Centre for Vegetable Crops in Smederevska Palanka, Serbia, the influence of substrate on growth, development, dry matter content, N, P2O5, K2O in the tomato seedling was studied. Mixtures of disinfected compost of peat of domestic and foreign origin substrates and zeolites enriched with easy available nutrition elements and natural biostimulators (humates) were used. The seedling was produced in containers by applying the speedling method. The early tomato variety Balkan F1 was grown. The obtained results showed significant differences of studied substrates and especially of a mixture of peat and fertilized zeolites. In phase of seedling, plants formed a great number of permanent leaves on these substrates. Plants had a greater weight of root, stalk, and leaves. Plants buttoned earlier and flowered.
