In tomato plants, adventitious buds are generated from the callus formed on cut surfaces after cutting of the main and all lateral shoots. The harvest condition of adventitious buds and the productivity of nursery plants raised from the buds were examined in tomato plants for establishment of a method of raising nursery plants using the adventitious buds. 1. The number of harvested buds was increased when the shorter adventitious buds were harvested. The period after the herbaceous cutting until rooting was shortened when longer adventitious buds were harvested. 2. The number of harvested adventitious buds changed according to the pinching position of the main stem. 3. Adventitious bud abnormalities were observed as the determinate bud, two buds, and burn symptoms of the undeveloped leaves, and the number of generations changed in the pinching season. 4. The productivity of nursery plants raised from adventitious buds was equal to that of seed-generated seedlings.
