In order to study effects of different tillage structures on growth and yield of maize, different types of tillage layer were constructed. The results showed that leaf area of maize under tillage of compact in rows and loose between rows with high stubble was 4.19% higher than tillage with ridge. Tillage of compact in rows and loose between rows promoted dry matter accumulation rate of maize, dry matters were accumulated from 0.69g to 3.96g per day per m² with comparison of other tillage structures. Yield of tillage of compact in rows and loose between rows was 20.06% and 4.08% higher than tillage of compact in rows and between rows and tillage of loose in rows and between rows. Though the difference was significant between tillage of compact in rows and loose between rows and tillage of loose in rows and between rows, the difference was not significant between compact in rows and loose between rows and tillage of compact in rows and between rows.
