This study was conducted to determine the yield performance of tomato varieties as affected by pruning,

It was. observed that tomato varieties when pruned into three-stemmed plants, fruit setting and maturity was earlier as compared with the unpruned plants. Furthermore, the percentage fruit setting in all varieties increased by pruning from 35.03 to 57.19 percent in Marilag, 36.38 to 52.95 percent im Improve Pope, 34.03 to 52.48 percent in VCll-1, amd from 30.99 to hhe26 percent in Marikit. Comparison among means on the number of fruit set in the pruned and unpruned | plants was not significant. Likewise, considering the yield as to the weight of marketable fruits, pruning has a remarkable effec
