Tomato is still very common in our daily life, and it is a kind of food that many people like very much. Now it is also planted in all parts of our country, and when we plant tomatoes, we need to do a good job in pruning. Tomato pruning can avoid excessive nutrient consumption and improve permeability and yield. So how exactly should tomatoes be pruned? Today, the editor brings you the method of pruning tomatoes. Let's take a look at it.

1. Single trunk pruning method

When planting tomato, if it is close planting, then it is suitable to use single stem pruning method. The single stem pruning method can promote the tomato to mature prematurely as soon as possible, and it is relatively simple to operate, but the amount of seedlings used is relatively large. In single-stem pruning, only one trunk needs to be retained for each tomato plant. All the lateral branches are removed, and then in planting production, the trunk retains about 5-10 ears.

2. Double trunk pruning method

The double-trunk pruning method requires one more step on the single-stem pruning, except for retaining the trunk of the plant. Also pay attention to the choice to retain a lateral branch and cultivate it into a second trunk so that it can become a fruiting branch. Then cut off the excess side branches and the regenerated branches on the double trunk. Double-stem pruning is suitable for planting sparse fields, the operation is relatively simple, and the amount of seedlings is not large. In production, it is common to keep about 5 ears per trunk for coring.

3. Single stem to change head and prune

The single-stem pruning method is also based on the single-stem pruning method. When the number of main ears reaches about 5, it is necessary to do a good job of coring. Then, when the apical fruit begins to expand, choose to keep a side branch at the top of the plant to continue to grow. It is also necessary to pick the heart when growing 5 ears. This operation can speed up the expansion of the fruit and avoid the overgrowth of the plant.

4. Continuous heart picking

Continuous heart picking is also based on single dry pruning, when the fruit produces about 3 ears. You can start the work of topping and coring the trunk, twisting it to one side to let it droop and grow, and then leave a side branch below the trunk to cultivate it as the trunk. Wait until the second trunk produces 3 ears of fruit, then repeat the previous work, and then follow this backward analogy. To achieve the goal of level fruit setting, it is also suitable for sparse planting land, which can increase the early yield and prevent overgrowth, but it requires certain operation techniques and is more troublesome.

The above is a brief introduction to the method of tomato pruning. In addition to the above pruning methods, there are also multi-pruning, axillary buds, heart and leaves, etc., which we need to pay more attention to. That's all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only. I hope it can help you all.
