%X <span style=\"font-family:&quot;\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Tomato is a common food on the human table. Up to
now, the research on the growth and development model of tomato has been about
50 years. There are many researches on the main nutrients of tomato, such as
carbon and nitrogen, but few on the trace element zinc. In this paper, taking
plant nutrient </span><i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">C</span></i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">, </span><i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">N</span></i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> and </span><i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Z</span><sub><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">n</span></sub></i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> as variables, the differential equation model of </span><i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">C</span></i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">, </span><i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">N</span></i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> and </span><i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Z</span><sub><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">n</span></sub></i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> in tomato growth
and development was established. According to the research of tomato as a whole
and divided into root and leaf, the one</span></span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">-</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">compartment and two-compartment models of tomato
growth and development were established. The model was analyzed by Matlab
program, and the existing experimental data was used to test the numerical
simulation results, which proves that the model conforms to the facts.
