Tomato pruning has its techniques: master the method for more fruit
Symptoms: Tomato bacterial speck, also known as bacterial micro-spot disease. It mainly damages leaves, stems, flowers, petioles and fruits, and is most obvious on leaf margins and immature fruits. When leaves are infected, dark brown to black spots appear, often surrounded by yellow halos; when petioles and stems are infected, black spots appear; when young green fruits are infected, slightly...

When pinching, generally leave 2 to 3 leaves above the last truss of fruit, otherwise it will seriously affect the normal growth of this uppermost truss of fruit, and may even cause flower and fruit drop. Double-stem pruning This method is mostly used for cherry tomato varieties. Double-stem pruning is based on single-stem pruning, with another side shoot selected as the second main stem, or the main stem is pinched off at the seedling stage and then two side shoots are selected at the same time as main stems; other management is the same as for single-stem pruning.
