Tomatoes are all kinds of creeping herbs, and the lignification of stems is relatively light. There is no need to put on airs except for a few short varieties. Most varieties need to be erected. Especially those seeking high yield. The underdeveloped trunk of tomato can't bear too many branches and fruits, so if there is no shelf, it will fall down or lie down, which will affect ventilation and lighting, be easily eroded by pests and diseases, and easily rot the fruit.
As for how to put on airs, it is very simple and does not need special study. If it is a short variety, just insert a wooden stick or bamboo pole, and insert a stick vertically near the plant without hurting the root of the plant, and tie the main branch of the tomato to the stick. The length of the pole depends on the normal height of the plant, generally about 70 cm is enough.
For tomato varieties with long vines, they can be made into herringbone frames like cucumbers and pods. This kind of shelf is longer. Basically, a bracket is inserted obliquely in front of the roots of two parallel tomatoes, and the tops of the two frames are staggered, and then the herringbone rods in the front plate are connected together by a cross bar to form a solid base. This method is the most commonly used method in tomato planting at present. There is another method, which is seldom used because it is more troublesome. For example, Hailingben three horizontal tables, Lian Bi tables, Hailingben plaid tables, plastic ropes, etc.
No matter which side, we should tie the vines and let them grow on the shelf, which will play a good supporting role. Generally speaking, the shelf is inserted outside the plants, so it is necessary to lead the plants into the shelf to tie the first row, and then tie the vines of the plants outside the shelf to tie the second row, so that the plants can grow vertically as much as possible and be well ventilated. How many threads are tied to each tomato depends on the growth length of the plant. Generally, a line should be tied under each ear.
Tomatoes should not be forked at the beginning of fruiting, but should form a certain branch area to promote root development and plant growth, and flower bud differentiation is also very good. Because in the early days of plants, its main purpose is to cultivate berries and promote flower bud differentiation. If you cross too early, it will seriously limit the growth and development of tomatoes in the later stage. The fruit of 1 ear is not big, and it is easy to produce green peel fruit, and the plant is easy to premature aging.
Plants should not delay the seedling stage and flowering stage in a hurry, and clear the fork in time when they enter the period of rapid fruit expansion. From the side branch to 10 cm, no stakes are left, and the spindle cannot be stripped too much. Generally, tools such as scissors are not needed. Because it is easier to spread the virus with scissors.
