Tomato stem Mansheng, branching force is very strong, each leaf axil can spawn lateral branches, rapid growth, easy to hide each other, consume nutrients. Production should be as early as possible (tomato transplantation into the living, the main branch up to 30cm or so) to play too many side branches, so that the stem and leaf growth and fruit development to maintain a balance. Tomato pruning is an important measure of tomato cultivation technology.

1, single rod pruning: each plant only stay a main stem, the rest of the lateral branches all removed, so that the nutrients concentrated supply of the main stem, the fruit is large. This method is suitable for tomato varieties planting higher density fields.

2,? Double pole: In addition to retaining the main stem and then leave a first inflorescence under the leaf axil of the lateral branches, let it grow to form a double pole, the rest of the lateral branches are all removed. This method of planting tomatoes when the plant spacing is appropriately relaxed. In the soil fertility is not enough, the number of plants per acre or the lack of ponds in the field is also more used this method.

3,? A pole and a half: in order to improve early yield, on the basis of a single pole, retaining the main pole of the first inflorescence below a lateral branch, 1~2 sets of fruit after centering. This method combines the advantages of single and double pole pruning, the fruit is borne on the lateral branches, the main pole retains less nutrients and reduces the height of the fruiting branches. This method has been applied for many years in our production, and is a measure worth vigorously promoting.
