Homegrown tomatoes produce a large number of adventitious roots. How to remedy it?

The choice of pruning methods should be flexibly mastered according to the characteristics of varieties, planting density and soil fertility, and cannot be completely copied. Because only the pruning method suitable for your plot is the best way to increase tomato yield, so that tomato seedlings can be ventilated and transparent, the light distribution is reasonable, the appearance and color of fruits can be improved, and tomato seedlings can grow fast, have strong stress resistance and increase yield. Next, I will share with you the methods I have mastered in the process of planting tomatoes, and teach parents to cut off the branches. After the introduction of vines, the lower old leaves must also be cut off to leave enough light for the fruits and keep the plants ventilated and transparent.

Only the top branches and leaves are left for photosynthesis, respiration and circular metabolism. After pruning, the damaged tomato root system should be developed, widely distributed and deep, with strong rooting ability, and the stem is easy to produce adventitious roots, which is easy to transplant and suitable for cutting propagation. The stems are semi-erect, with strong branches, which need to be supported and trimmed with brackets to prevent the branches and leaves from growing too densely and affecting the results. If the whole branch of tomato is divided according to morphology, there are single branch, double branch and one and a half branch.

Let's talk about a single branch first. As the name implies, only the main branch is left in a single branch, and one side branch is not left. The biggest advantage of this method is that a single fruit will be very big. In rural areas, the pruning methods that everyone can see are basically single-knife pruning. Single stem pruning is to keep only one main stem as the fruiting branch and remove all other side branches.

Of course, when removing side branches here, it should not be too early or too late. Premature pruning: Double-stem pruning refers to retaining the most vigorous lateral branches under the first ear except the main stem, and removing all the others. This pruning method can make the whole plant retain two main branches. This pruning method is suitable for removing all the side branches with strong growth potential. When planting tomatoes in this way, the spacing between plants should be appropriately relaxed. This method is also used in fields with insufficient soil fertility, few plants per mu or lack of ponds.
