Traditional tomato cultivation uses a large amount of seedlings and a lot of labor for planting, by taking advantage of one of the characteristics of tomato “side branches easily growingâ€, and using sparse planting density and multi-stems technology provides a way to save seedlings and simplify labor. In this experiment, tomato Provence was used as the test material, and under the condition of ensuring a certain number of branches per hectare, four treatments were set up for single stem pruning(T1), double stem pruning(T2), three stem pruning(T3), and four stem pruning(T4), and the influence of the treatmnts on the dynamic changes of tomato cost input, plant growth, and yield was explored. The results showed that compared with the traditional single stem pruning(T1), the use of sparse planting and multi-stems technology(T4) could save up to 22 174 plant/ha and save 74.87% of the production cost. The underground biomass of a single plant treated with T2, T3, and T4 reached 25.53, 35.04, 60.83 g, respectively, which were 61.68%, 121.91%, and 285.24% higher than that of those treated with T1, indicating that the root system could meet the growth and development of more branches, and the root-to-head ratio of T3 treatment was significantly lower than that of other treatments, and the low root-to-head ratio promoted the accumulation and yield formation of aboveground assimilation, and the concentration of harvest and collection, which was conducive to reducing labor costs during. The tomato of T1 came into the market early and had high yield in the early stage. The early yield of T2, T3, and T4 was 30.24%, 45.69% and 59.00% lower than that of T1, the early income of T1 was 56 733.33 yuan/ha, the mid-term yield of T3 treatment was 21.93%, 21.19%, and 15.96% higher than that of T1, T2, and T4, respectively, and the total yield of T3 treatment was 38 734.03 kg/ha, which was similar to the yield and benefit of T1 treatment. Therefore, the sparse planting density and multi-stems technology could be used for solar greenhouse tomato production.
