PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a one-step dense-planting cultivation method of tomatoes, capable of preventing lowering of fruit quality, decrease of the number of shipped fruits, lengthening of the number of maturing days, lowering of working efficiency, and insufficiency of chemical spray effect.SOLUTION: This one-step dense-planting cultivation method of tomatoes includes planting a plurality of tomato seedlings, nipping main stems 4 between the base ends of second branches and leaves 12 above first calyxes and the base ends of third branches and leaves, or between the base ends of the third branches and leaves and the base ends of branches of second calyxes, pushing upward the branches and leaves 11 and 12 above the first calyxes, and raising each of the flowers of the first calyxes in a condition of fixing by a linear body 50 or a branch trimming means 5 made of a netty body so as to place the edges of the branches and leaves above the base ends, and after flowering, ripening fruits by pollination of each of the flowers.COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT【課題】果実品質の低下、出荷果数減少、成熟日数長期化、作業効率の低下や薬剤散布効果が不十分になってしまうことを防止できるトマトの一段密植栽培方法を提供する。【解決手段】複数のトマトの苗を定植した後に、主茎4を第1花房より上方に2本目の枝葉12の基端部と3本目の枝葉の基端部との間にて、又は上記3本目の枝葉の基端部と第2花房の枝の基端部との間にて摘心するとともに、第1花房より上方の枝葉11、12を上方に押し上げて、線状体50又は網状体からなる整枝手段5により、その先端部が基端部よりも上方に位置するように固定した状態で上記第1花房の各花を育成して、開花させた後に、当該各花の受粉等により果実を実らせるトマトの一段密植栽培方法。【選択図】図1
