What methods are there to extend the fruiting period of tomatoes?
How do you extend the fruiting period of tomatoes? Please advise on methods. After the first crop of tomatoes is harvested, the following 3 methods can be used to make the tomato plants bloom and bear fruit again and increase economic returns: 1. The vine-laying method. After the first crop of tomatoes is harvested, cut off the dead branches and yellow leaves, keep the new branches with strong regenerative capacity, and dig a fertilization trench 20 cm long and 15 cm deep on one side of the main stem and apply fertilizer. After fertilizing, bury the main stem in the trench and water it, so that the buried vine section quickly grows roots. In this way, the new roots and old roots absorb water and fertilizer together, the plant grows rapidly, and the tomatoes can bloom and bear fruit again.

2. The branch-pruning method
After the first crop of tomatoes is harvested, cut off the dead old branches and leaves, then dig around the roots and apply fertilizer and water, which can stimulate new branches, make them grow rapidly, and bloom and bear fruit again.
3. The transplanting method
Tomato roots easily grow secondary roots, and near the ground they can produce many tiller shoots and seedlings. These tiller shoots and seedlings grow and bear fruit quickly after transplanting, generally bearing fruit in 7 to 10 days. If the ground is dry, you can mound soil around the main stem and water it. When a small number of white spots appear at the base of the tiller shoots and seedlings, they can be transplanted and survive, and can quickly bloom and bear fruit.
