| This study aimed to evaluate the effects on tomato yield and quality of three pruning systems (2, 3 and 4 stems) of grafted plants (cv. Vinicio and Multifort) used to prevent the incidence of soil diseases. It was also investigated if the two stems from nodes of the cotyledon leaves improved crop performance compared to the two stems from the first true leaves nodes. The experiment was conducted in the spring/summer season, under greenhouse conditions at NW Portugal, with a randomized block design with 3 blocks and the four pruning crop treatments. Total yield was significantly increased for the double-stem tomato crop, without significant differences between both stem nodes position (26.5 kg m-2), compared to plants with 3 and 4 stems (19.5 kg m-2).
