    <abstract language="eng">Using of organic matters such as vermicompost in culture bed has been
considered widely due to its effect on soil property’s modification. Vermicompost increases
soil water capacity and supplies plant needed materials resulted in high-yield rate as
well as plant quality. To study the effect of vermicompost on tomato morphological and
physiological characteristics, experiments were carried out twice in the year 2013 using
a complete randomized block design with four treatments and 4 replicates in research
fields of agronomy department, faculty of agriculture, Urmia University. Treatments
include different vermicompost percentages (0, 25, 50, 75 percent) with garden soil and
measuring parameters included root length, stem length, fresh and dried weight,
chlorophyl, sugar and prolin contents of the plants. After initial analysis of data, metaanalysis
was performed. Results showed that using vermicompost increased all the
measuring parameters significantly in general and with the highest rate of vermicompost
in particular. In this regard, the paramount effects were pertained to plants root length
as well as plant height in comparison to the other treatments.</abstract>
