According to the actual situation, potted tomatoes need to be plucked, but also need not be plucked, let's take a look at it specifically.
The tomato with self sealed top doesn't need to be picked.
Some of the shorter varieties of tomato can also be removed from the heart, but take the method of wiping buds, remove all the buds below the second inflorescence of tomato, only keep 1-2 main branches.
For the infinite growth type of tomato, it is necessary to remove the heart. Generally, after the first inflorescence and the second inflorescence of tomato bloom one after the other, remove the heart at the place where two leaves are on the flower. After the first inflorescence is removed, strong lateral branches can grow near the internode of the lower part of the first inflorescence, and 2-3 branches can be reserved, and all the remaining lateral branches can be removed. After making adjustments according to the specific growth, the branches will continue to pull upward.
Under the suitable temperature, if the management is proper and the water and fertilizer are sufficient, the measures of continuous heart picking can be taken to improve the fruit yield, and this can make the fruit large and the plant short. The specific method is as follows:
When there are two order flowers on the main stem and they bloom, two leaves are kept for the first time to pick the center, so as to promote the growth of the lateral branches. The second time is to wait until the length of the lateral branches grows to 4 to 10 cm, and then select the lateral branches under the first inflorescence as the second batch of main branches.
