What are the best tomato varieties?

 The concept of "the best varieties of tomatoes" is different for everyone: someone prefers to plant tomatoes mostly in open ground, while someone is attracted by the advantages of growing in a closed (from the climate, or extremely changeable weather in recent years) greenhouse. And many simply summarize the harvest of tomatoes, attracting to their side both planting plants in the open field and planting vegetables in a greenhouse.

Of course, the greenhouse makes the conditions for better growing tomatoes in many regions of the country much more loyal, but in Russia there is an incredible number of unique regions located in dozens of regions and territories. And this, too, must be taken into account, with an emphasis on a particular variety of tomato. The greenhouse, of course, smooths out the weather "roughness", but outside the enclosed space - in the open field, tomatoes still react to every change in the environment.

Differences in tomato varieties

Each tomato variety has its own face. Behind each are years of labor of breeders and decades of popular selection. The beauty of today's best tomato varieties is in the variety. So we "exploit" both tomato hybrids, and varieties with unlimited growth - indeterminate, and semi-determinant, and determinant, the average height of which for the most part ranges from 70-80 cm, and low-growing vegetables, whose growth does not exceed half a meter (all of them we will analyze the differences and features in the article below).

You cannot advise relying on outside experience, as some do, knowingly bringing in not entirely truthful information about the harvest (quantity and quality) of grown tomatoes. They say here they are - the best varieties of tomatoes of the past (and, further, in descending numbers) for the tomato of the year. For all, however, it should be noted that they often focus on the varieties of plants for open and closed ground proposed for planting, without understanding that the advice will be good only after personal experience - it is better for at least 3-4 years (honestly, but extremely rarely , and 2 are sometimes enough) and with meticulous experiments (starting with growing seedlings with the help of an additive to the soil Vermiculite, a growth stimulator Gumi and, ending with top dressing: magnesium sulfate, mineral fertilizer Fertika - Kemira, and so on - already in the garden) for each grade.

Why do I give such a period? Yes, because it is absolutely necessary to take into account the weather, which differs from year to year, and this is the minimum, in my opinion, time to have the slightest idea about each variety of tomato

Tomato growing technology

Our technology for growing tomatoes of different varieties is as follows. On our site, we allocate 6 long rows for tomatoes (including closed soil). On three of them, representatives of the best varieties of tomatoes that have been tested over the years (even a choice of tomatoes) are grown, guaranteeing the yield of the crop according to the declared characteristics (regardless of the "charms" of the weather), and the other three are planted with new varieties that are "considered" this way and that in during the above time. Everything seems to be. No, no, it is very important in the process of experiments, in order to take the starting position in the garden, to consult with the employees of many wholesalers and, especially, shops selling seeds. They already know for sure which are the best varieties of tomatoes the people (taking into account their own experience) understand best of all, and which ones they swear at!

P.S. To make life easier for readers and reduce the time for absorbing the article, instead of determining the yield of vegetables in kg per 1 square meter, it will be written later - kg "per square meter."

And now I am announcing the number of tomatoes tested in growing, presented below to your eyes, which can be called the best - 60 varieties.

P.S. The results are recorded in an area that: with a good warm season corresponds to Central Black Earth Region (region), and with bad - Northwest region... Naturally, this latitude interval, at which the above regions are located, precisely includes Siberia, Moscow suburbs, Middle lane, Ural, Far East, and then figure out for yourself which paths lead to your site.

The best tomato varieties with a description

I. Hybrids

Hybrid tomatoes, which are practically guaranteed resistance to diseases and disgusting weather, which non-hybrid varieties suffer from. Greenhouses and greenhouses are prized for storing heat, but tomatoes can suffer from extremely high temperatures and extreme temperature changes. In recent years, worldwide selection has been aimed at producing "heat-resistant" hybrids with a reliable ovary guarantee. Hybrids are especially helpful in a greenhouse or in a small garden plot, where there are no real opportunities for crop rotation and disease prevails. Breeding successes demonstrate confident resistance to various types of infections - viral (especially the most dangerous tobacco mosaic virus), fungal, bacterial. In addition, the fruits of the hybrids are leveled, the yield is consistently high.

Incas F1

Tomato of the Dutch company Numensz, zoned in Russia; entered in the state register in 2000. A mid-early hybrid (105 days) of one meter high vegetables, determinant. Very high resistance has been recorded to fungal diseases. The fruits are characterized by their elongated ovality, weighing 80-130 grams, and very high density. Ideal for pickling.

Forms abundant multi-fruited clusters with tomatoes weighing 60-140 grams. Dense tomatoes perfectly withstand long transportation, are great in pickling and pickling. Due to its heat resistance, they are excellently tied under shelters, in low greenhouses. The most important advantage of this hybrid is the highest resistance to various infections.

Mariana F1

The tomato was created in the French branch of the Japanese company Sakata (the image of the woman Mariana is the symbol of the French Republic). The breeders of this agricultural company are often suspected of producing GMOs, but so far without real evidence. Mariana is a mid-early determinant hybrid. Fruits are similar in shape to Inkas - also elongated-oval, perfectly even, super dense. They have a high content of dry substances, and there is a substantial amount of sugars. Scarlet tomatoes, weighing 70-180 grams. Excellent taste, solid yield. Vegetables are heat tolerant in small greenhouses.

The first brush is formed immediately after the growth of the sixth leaf. The fruits are unrealistically dense for such an early tomato, besides, they are by no means small - 130 grams. In shape, these are rounded hearts with a beautiful pointed tip. In the open field, we usually produce a thickened planting - 5-6 bushes per 1 square. The best harvest from such an area is at least a bucket. The hybrid is highly resistant to bacteria, fungi and viruses. Does not crack and does not suffer from top rot of the fruit. It successfully withstands high temperatures and dry soil.

F1 Orange Spam

The newest indeterminate hybrid (in the register since 2015) - tested by us, everything is fine - created taking into account all possible greenhouse cataclysms. Firstly, it ties well even in the heat, as well as during temperature extremes. Secondly, it is hardy to a problem soil substrate. Thirdly, it shows high resistance to viral, fungal and bacterial infections. The yield of vegetables ranges between 20-30 kilograms per square. Medium early hybrid (100 days from green shoots).

II. Indeterminate varieties (growth is not limited)

These are tomatoes that will grow until they turn blue until the owner or the onset of the cold season stops them. They have a great potential for productivity, which is more successfully realized in tall greenhouses. Place about three bushes on 1 square. With supports, such as strong trellises, open ground is not prohibited, which will be especially welcome in the southern regions. In the conditions of the Middle Lane, they will require enhanced nutrition and regular pinching: they are allowed in 1-2 stems. Vegetables grow 2 meters or more in height without any problems.

Tomato Konigsberg

Excellent ovary

Included in the lists of the state register in 2005. The variety rightfully takes a place in the circle of the most productive Siberian varieties (up to 20 kg from a square of land in a greenhouse). Ties perfectly even in hot indoor environments. Plants with a powerful bush with large leaves require increased nutrition and careful pinching. The first ovary is formed after regrowth of the 12th leaf, then inflorescences are formed every 3 leaves. Refers to varieties of medium ripening periods; in Siberia, about half of the harvest ripens on the vine; the rest of the fruits turn red rather well when ripening. Tomatoes in the lower tassels of vegetables are 300 grams each, higher - at least 150 grams. The shape is elongated, heart-shaped, even, beautiful.

The first ripe tomatoes are ready for picking 108-118 days after germination. There are 3-5 fruits per kilogram.

Siberian giant tomato

Record mass

The variety is a novelty of a team of breeders led by V.F. Gavrish. Registered in the state register in 2015. For unrealistically large fruits of vegetables it is included in the series "Russian Bogatyr". The variety is not too fast in terms of ripening (from 120 days), therefore, it requires early planting for seedlings, especially careful pinching and decent feeding. In Siberia and Central Russia, it works well only in greenhouses, including a greenhouse. The average output from a bush is 3.6 (plus or minus) kg, a record - 7 kg. Tomatoes are flat-round, slightly ribbed, of excellent smell and very juicy, each weighing 400-600 grams, not uncommon - 800 grams.

Each bush can bring half a bucket of tomatoes (with normal farming practices). The variety is mid-season and requires early sowing. We grow in greenhouses with obligatory pinching.

Tomato Honey Drop

Sweet babies

Tomatoes from the "cherry" group, original in shape and color: golden-yellow "pears" weighing 30 grams. The foliage of the potato type, the plant's bush is incredibly branched: stepchildren strive to grow even at the ends of flower brushes. But in the greenhouse, you still need to remove the branches (at least partially), otherwise you will get a jungle. The clusters of vegetables are multi-fruited and the overall yield is very good. Fruits on the clusters from below ripen 105 days after germination.

Tomato Monisto chocolate

Plum sweets

A modern work of a team of breeders led by V.F. Gavrish, a novelty in the cherry tomato group - the Monisto series. The year of entry into the state register is 2015.

The variety - the most unusual in color - of the vegetables of this series has fruits of a brownish-burgundy hue, with a specific set of vitamins and an original taste. The pulp is sweet and sugary. These cherries are especially good in whole-fruited pickling and preservation. Due to the increased accumulation of dry matter, these tomatoes are stored unchanged for a long time. They can be dried and dried, getting a product akin to raisins.

III. Semi-determinant varieties (high in the greenhouse, medium in the ground)

Bushes are very convenient in growing, which do not stretch uncontrollably up, but are capable of timely self-restraint. At the same time, the solid height provides excellent yields. The versatility also attracts: the possibility of landing anywhere. True, in the open ground you will need supports, but not very high ones. Semi-determinant varieties, as a rule, are not too late, usually mid-early or mid-season. But you still need to pinch them. In the open air, some varieties may require edging towards the end of the season (on average, early August). The standard height is from one to 1.5 (and a little higher) meters (this is observed in a greenhouse).

However, one can understand the Siberian breeders who decided to assign this "gold-bearing" name to the yellow-fruited variety.Ripening period - medium early (110 days). Tomatoes are heart-shaped, weighing 200-400 grams. The pulp is not watery, low acidity and high sweetness. The bush is self-edged after laying five brushes. If we do not shirk from regular watering and dressing, then we will remove a bucket of even marketable fruits from a bush of vegetables from 1 square.

Sugar Buffalo or Redskin Chief

Everything from the firm "Siberian Garden"

By its origin, Sugar Bison is an old variety of folk selection, and many of its varieties are walking around the country, differing in the height and shape of the fruits. The Siberian version is of a determinant type, it grows a maximum of a meter in the open air, in greenhouses a little higher. The surface of the fruit is pink-crimson, with sugary watermelon pulp, heart-shaped or rounded in shape. Vegetable weight ranges from 250-600 grams. Ripening period - mid-early (with regular pinching). It endures bad weather, almost does not get sick.

Here it is necessary to dwell a little more in detail: by duplicating the names, agricultural firms introduced a little confusion to the seed market. Hybrid F1 The leader of the Redskins from the St. Petersburg firm "Biotekhnika", not included in the state register, has nothing in common with the variety Leader of the Redskins from the "Siberian Garden". Siberians under this name patented and introduced in 2007 into the state register a tomato, which was also produced under the name Sugar Bison. Tomatoes with the name Sugar Bison are also offered by other companies, but as an indeterminate variety.

Tomato Potato raspberry

V. Low-growing tomatoes (up to 50 cm)

The most problem-free tomatoes are super-determinant ones, in which the main stem completes its growth at a height of no more than half a meter. Among these tomatoes there are ultra-early ripening, early and medium-early. Some may not even be tied. Bushes do not stepchild at all, except until the first brush - for an even earlier harvest. If we plant these varieties in the greenhouse, then we assign them the role of such seals (do not forget about plant compatibility!) For the main plantings of other vegetables.

Tomato Pink Stele

Supersort

Previously, the tomato was produced as Super Pepper, but changed its name for registration in the registry (2007). A favorite soil grade of many amateur summer residents. It works in any year, regardless of the weather. Medium early in terms of timing. In seedlings, it is super compact, stocky, does not stretch. In the ground it grows as a strong bush with closely spaced internodes. The brushes of the plant are laid through the leaf, the number of fruits we grow is somewhat less than the declared ones - 4-6. The first tomatoes are especially large, 275 grams were reached, in appearance - flattened heart-shaped.In the next brushes, pepper-shaped vegetables grow, 130-200 grams each. The color is crimson pink. The pulp is fleshy, sugary, almost without seeds, like the best salad varieties. This variety is also good in salting. But the fruits cannot be called lingering.

A popular, reliable soil variety, known far beyond Siberia and Altai, spread throughout the country, including the Far East. Medium early in terms of ripening (108-114 days). The flower brush appears after 6 or 7 leaves. When working with these standard bushes, we refuse to pinch, due to their small branching.

The color is crimson pink; the green speck at the stalk is not immediately stained. Dense pulp with excellent taste.

Siberian troika tomato

Mysterious

A time-tested variety, in the register since 2004. It has both loyal supporters and opponents: it is difficult to say whether it is the quality of the seeds or the microclimate. In a successful local version, the variety is very plentiful (up to two buckets per square), not painful, compact from the very germination. Standard bush. The pickling of vegetables is minimal. Medium early variety. The first inflorescence of a plant is formed after 9 leaves. The fruits in the lower cluster reach 13-14 cm and weigh 270-330 grams. Subsequent weighing 80-150 grams.

Tomato Lazy

Early large

The newest early ripening variety of vegetables (95 days from germination to ripening). But it still needs additional verification of breeding promises. Sweet, heart-shaped fruits with an average weight of 300 grams are very beautiful, in the lower brushes they are twice as large. In order not to lose the first brush, it is necessary to plant seedlings in the garden at the age of 40 (in theory 45) days, no more. Therefore, sowing too early is also not needed, they can lead to a shortage of crops and a delay in terms. Be sure to pinch the bushes to the first brush, and then give freedom to branching. With such a formation, it is possible to remove two buckets of tomatoes from 1 square, which is almost unbelievable for a low-growing variety.

The bush is densely hung with bright red tomatoes - "sausages" about 14 cm long and weighing 130 grams. Pulp without water, solid "meat". In salting, it is not inferior in density to cucumbers.

Tomato varieties and hybrids are so diverse that even an experienced vegetable grower sometimes finds it difficult to choose. Of course, everyone has their own priorities - someone loves large and fleshy tomatoes, someone prefers small but sweet ones, and someone is forced to select a variety taking into account the climate of their region. But in any case, every gardener tries to choose the most productive varieties of tomatoes for the garden, which also have excellent taste.

How to choose a variety

When choosing a tomato variety, it is necessary to take into account many factors affecting the yield of a vegetable crop. Firstly, you need to decide in advance on the place where vegetables will be planted, and purchase seeds, taking into account the growing conditions. The process of growing tomatoes in open and protected soil has significant differences - even the highest-yielding varieties of tomatoes for beds will not give high-quality fruits when planted in a greenhouse. Conversely, greenhouse varieties will not give the expected yield when grown in the garden.

When purchasing tomato seeds, you should take into account the taste properties of each specific variety. Some tomatoes express their taste better immediately after removal from the bush, others reveal it after salting or preservation, and some are very tasty in an unripe form, while when ripe they have a very ordinary and primitive taste.

It is also important to decide on the question - what tomatoes will be grown for what? If for salting, then you should give preference to medium-sized fruits with sweet dense pulp. If for conservation, then it is better to choose small fruits with a dense, non-bursting skin. The choice of salad varieties is endless - these are tomatoes of various shapes, colors and tastes. They are not suitable for blanks, but they have a very fleshy structure and excellent taste.

Yield also depends to some extent on the shape and size of the bush. Low-growing varieties are less demanding to care for, but fewer fruits grow on them. It is possible to increase the yield of such species only due to the large number of beds. Tall varieties need tying and installation of supports, but you can also get a higher yield from them. In addition, tall plants save space.

When choosing fruitful varieties of tomatoes for open ground, it will be useful to take into account the period of their ripening. If you want to have fresh homemade tomatoes on the table from early spring to winter, you will have to plant many different varieties with different ripening periods. Well, the most important factor affecting yield is climate adaptability. It is important to understand which varieties of tomatoes can grow in a particular climate. So intended for the southern regions, it is very difficult to grow in the northern latitudes - at best, the yield will be minimal, and at worst, the plants will not be able to develop due to the cold, and the yield will be zero. Therefore, for the northern regions it is better to choose Siberian tomatoes, bred specifically for cold climates.

The best tomatoes

Tomatoes can be classified according to different parameters:

By yield

High-yielding varieties of tomatoes are those from which you can collect 5 or more kilograms of vegetables from one square meter of planting. It should be said that many recently bred Dutch varieties, as well as similar domestic breeding, are capable of producing up to 20 kg per 1 m of planting, but these hybrids are grown mainly in greenhouses for commercial purposes. For a high yield tomato from open ground, it is better to plant varieties designed specifically for these conditions:

• Waterfall - a tall tomato of early ripening with dense oblong fruits of a bright orange color, with proper care, it can yield a yield of 6-8 kg;

• Anastasia is a tall (100-130 cm) mid-season variety with bright red, sometimes burgundy fruits of medium size (170-200 g), when the necessary conditions are created, up to 12 kg of the crop can be harvested;
• Raspberry giant is an early variety with very large (up to 500 g) pink fruits, due to which high yields are obtained, resistant to diseases and pests;
• Nastena F1 is an early ripe tall (120-150 cm) hybrid with large (up to 300 g) red fleshy fruits, tolerates low temperatures and high humidity well, is resistant to diseases, very high-yielding - 16-18 kg per 1 meter of planting;
• Diabolic - compact and fairly tall bushes (100-120 cm) with red oblong fruits weighing (120-140 g), tomatoes are perfectly transported, suitable for harvesting, not susceptible to diseases, when grown for industrial purposes yield a yield of 400-600 centners per hectare of area.

Experienced vegetable growers admit that extremely fruitful tomato varieties do not have high taste and aroma. This is due to the fact that all the forces of such plants are aimed at the formation of multiple fruits, and not at the concentration of sugars and nutrient fibers.

By type of bush

According to the height of the bush, tomatoes are divided into:

• determinant (undersized) - their height is 50-100 cm, they do not need to remove excess shoots and tie;

• and indeterminate (tall) - bushes of such tomatoes can grow up to 2 meters, often require the installation of supports and correction of the bush, in turn are subdivided into standard species (with strong compact bushes) and non-standard (with thin stems prone to lodging and needing in supports);

• there are also medium-sized tomatoes, the height of which varies in the range of 80-110 cm.

The most productive and undersized varieties:

• Sanka is an ultra-early hybrid variety with compact bushes (30-40 cm) and round red fruits;

• Rio Grande - a high-yielding tomato with powerful bushes up to 60 cm high, fruits are even, elongated, medium-sized (100-120 g), universal - suitable for canning and processing;

• Bagheera F1 is an early undersized hybrid with large (180-220 g) fruits suitable for any processing and transportation.

Among the tomatoes of an average ripening period, one can distinguish the high-yielding tomato "Volgogradskiy 5/95". This is a standard plant 70-120 cm high with smooth red fruits weighing 80-150 g. Fruits are well transported and stored for a long time. Of the tall, fruitful tomatoes, the following can be distinguished:

• De Barao - this variety has many hybrids that differ in shape and color, but this variety of tomato unites the invariable sweet taste of fleshy fruits, reaching a weight of 300-400 g, in which there are practically no seeds;

• Tarasenko 2 is a hybrid of late ripening, stems are high (up to 2 m) with multiple clusters, on which there are many small (30-40 g) fruits with a total weight of up to 3 kg.

Many vegetable growers prefer standard types of tomatoes, since they do not need tying and are less demanding to care for.

To size

By the size of the fruit, tomatoes are divided into large (300-400 g), very large (up to 700-1000 g), medium, small, and very small - "cherry". Large-fruited varieties are:

• Miracle of the Earth - the fruits are elongated, heart-shaped, reaching a weight of 400-500 g, have a dense sweetish pulp;

• Andreevsky surprise - tall (up to 2 m) salad variety with very large (400-700 g) fruits, tomato color - raspberry, pulp is fleshy and juicy, seeds are practically absent;

• Bovine heart - a tomato of the middle ripening period with very large (400-600 g) fruits with dense sweetish pulp;

• Raspberry giant - fruits are large (600-800 g), flattened, with tender pulp, seeds are almost absent.

Small varieties include the following:

• Wonder of the world - small fruits resembling lemon in shape and color, the mass of tomatoes is 50-100 g, up to 50 pieces can be collected from one bush;

• Black Moor is a mid-season hybrid with small brownish fruits weighing 30-50 g, suitable for conservation;

• Tarasenko 2 - tall bushes with heavy clusters, each of which ripens more than 35 small (50-60 g) fruits.

Ornamental varieties of miniature tomatoes, known to us as "cherry", have high taste properties. These tomatoes are successfully grown both in the garden and in pots on the balconies. Among the most popular are: Noon, Green Pearl, Lemon (yellow), Amber, Honey Drop.

By sustainability

When it comes to the resilience of the tomato, most often it is not disease that is meant, but endurance in low temperatures. What kind of tomatoes can be grown in cold climates - this question is of most interest to residents of the northern regions. For such regions, you should choose varieties of Siberian selection, the seeds of which are adapted to these conditions.

The following varieties of tomatoes are hardy:

• The shuttle is a frost-resistant variety of Siberian selection, it is not afraid of pests, diseases and transportation, ripens in 80-100 days, the fruits are small (up to 60 g);

• Bakery plants - large-fruited (300-500 g) tomato, low bush - up to 80 cm, resistant to temperature changes;

• Destructive force - a high-yielding hybrid of Siberian selection, the fruits are medium (up to 150 g), unpretentious in care, even at low temperatures yields a yield of 5-6 kg;

• Triumphant - mid-season standard grade of Siberian selection, undersized bushes (40-50 cm), small fruits - up to 100g;

• The Snow Tale is a unique hybrid of Siberian selection, the bush of which is literally covered with small fruits, and the stems do not need to be tied up.

There are also several varieties that Ukraine has bred, but these seeds are also adapted to the conditions of the north or middle zone: Priusadebny, Gospodar, Sonyachne Kolo and others.

By the duration of ripening

According to the ripening period, tomatoes are early-ripening, mid-ripening and late-ripening, but recently many hybrids have been bred, which are called "early".Tomato varieties are called early maturing, the ripening period of which is up to 100 days. These include: Dubok, White filling, Alpha, Amur shtamb, Valentina, Don Juan - the ripening period of these varieties is 95-98 days.

Mid-season tomatoes are those that reach their full maturity in 105-115 days: Pink Elephant, Hybrid 35, Volgograd, Gigant 5, Akulina, Tsarevna and many others. It should be said that most tomatoes are mid-season, and when choosing seeds, gardeners often come across just such varieties. Tomatoes are considered late ripening, for which ripening takes from 117 to 130 days. These include: De Barao, Wonder of the World, Titanium, Brown Sugar and others. Late types of tomatoes are not very popular, but unlike early ones, they are stored longer.

The most popular varieties are the early ones, the ripening period of which is sometimes limited to 70 days. The seeds of these tomatoes are adapted to low temperatures and tolerate even slight frosts very well. These include: Sanka, Far North, Little Red Riding Hood, Nevsky and many others.

By storage time

Only certain varieties of tomatoes can survive for a long time, in which there is a special gene that inhibits the ripening of fruits. As a rule, these are late-ripening hybrids, bred specifically for the purpose of preservation. These tomatoes are harvested at the initial stage of ripeness (when they are just starting to turn brown), and their full maturity occurs later at a temperature of 18 ° C.

These hybrids are:

• Radical, Lazar, Dominator - the fruits of these varieties are stored for more than 1 month;

• Khutorskoy pickling, Giraffe - fruits are stored for up to 4 months;

• Long Keeper, Lezhebok, New Year's - perfectly retain their taste until the New Year.

It is fair to say that long-stored hybrids have a fairly dense skin and not very pronounced taste and aroma, since their ripening occurs under artificial conditions.But, in spite of everything, this is the only way to get fresh homemade tomatoes in winter.
