It also covered regular pruning of herbs to maintain vigor. A few days later the guidance expanded to colour. Subsequent advice added greenhouse and or roof‑protected tomato production, emphasizing side‑shoot pruning for airflow, straw mulching to retain soil conserve moisture and shield protect roots, and morning stem‑base watering to prevent limit fungal disease and fruit splitting. The later note added dietary information Dietary notes for German consumers, citing average tomato consumption and describing the mild toxicity of consumers explained that tomatine in unripe fruit, while reassuring that normal culinary use fruit is only mildly toxic and poses no health risk. risk in normal culinary use. New recommendations from German agricultural advisers emphasize locating plants in protected structures to shield them from intense sun and heavy rain. They advise regular removal of side shoots (3‑5 cm) and lower leaves to improve airflow and keep foliage dry, straw mulching to retain soil moisture and moderate temperature, and consistent morning watering directed to the stem base. When nutrient deficiencies appear, a quick‑acting liquid fertilizer such as organic vinasse or mineral ammonium sulfate may be applied. These measures aim to prevent blossom‑end rot, fungal infections and cracked fruits, supporting a productive summer harvest.
