Reduced tillage saves energy and safeguards soil against erosion. While it is widely used for these reasons in producing agronomic crops, it has yet to find acceptance in vegetable cultivation. The main obstacle is the lack of knowledge of the growth and developmental responses of intensively managed vegetable crops to reduced tillage operations. Therefore, this study was performed to determine the effect of different tillage levels on vegetative growth and flowering and fruiting of tomatoes. The following tillage treatments were applied in a randomized complete-block design to a field that was cover cropped with vetch during winter T 2  produced maximum vegetative dry weight/plant: 1) fall mold-board + spring no-till (T 1 ), 2) fall mold-board + spring chisel (T 2 ), and 3) fall chisel + spring chisel (T 3 ). The number of flowers/plant were highest in T 1 , followed by T 2  and T 3 , respectively. There was a 14: 1 ratio between the number of flowers and fruit set. The number of fruit in T 1  and T 2  were similar, and significantly greater than in T 3 . The fruit weight of T 1  was similar to T 2  but significantly greater than T 3 .
