Cultivars for soil cultivation

How to plant seedlings in open ground

"Miracle of the Earth"

This variety is characterized by excellent degrees by both agricultural specialists and summer residents, and the breeders themselves. The variety is collectible, and it is very important to buy original seeds for cultivation, since there are many fakes. Therefore, try to purchase seeds from trusted reputable seed farms and sellers. Mid-season. A medium-sized bush reaches a maximum size of 130 cm.

Tomato Wonder of the Earth

By the way! The fruits are similar to the "Bull's Heart" tomato variety. The same heart-shaped shape, the same pink, perhaps a slightly more intense skin color. There is no green, non-pinking area near the stalk.

But the primacy remains with the pink "hearts".

"Brown sugar"

Sugar brown tomato

This curious varietal tomato was included in the list of the best in taste for a reason.

Decide on the choice which variety of tomatoes is better to plant, not so easy. After all, 2414 varieties and hybrids are registered in the State Register alone, and there are more than 4000 of them all over the world. When choosing a variety for cultivation, you need to take into account many factors:

• Ripening period (early, mid-ripening, late-ripening tomatoes),
• Growth type (short, determinate or tall, determinate),
• Size, shape, color of the fruit,
• Variety or hybrid,
• Growing method (greenhouses or open ground),
• Disease resistance,
• Purpose of use (fresh consumption, for conservation, for long-term storage, for making juice).

In the open field

In this section, you can combine three selection criteria at once: ripening period, growing method, type of plant growth.

In the open field, it is recommended to plant early or mid-season undersized (determinant) varieties and hybrids of tomatoes. The explanation is simple. By the type of growth of the bush, tomatoes are divided into two groups:

• Shrub - undersized, determinant.
• Liana - tall, indeterminate.

Bush-type plants, in addition to the main stem, have several lateral shoots. All of them, like the main one, end with an inflorescence. The height of such a bush is from 60 to 180 cm. The growth of the bush ends when several flower brushes are formed on it.

Liana tomatoes have unlimited growth, they can only grow in length, and endlessly. The onset of frost stops their growth, when a cold snap causes the end of the growing season. In determinant plants, stepchildren are formed not from the stem, but from the pahuzi of the leaf closest to the apical brush. A long liana is formed, about 2 meters high. It is worth noting that this type of plant has a slower flowering rate. There are fewer fruits than those of undersized varieties, but they are much better quality, large and tasty.

So, liana tomatoes in conditions Middle belt, Moscow region, North-West, Urals and Siberia will have time to reveal their potential only in greenhouses. In the open field, they simply do not have enough heat and time. By August, they will be able to form a sufficient number of brushes, but late blight will come and, there is a great risk, it will ruin the harvest.

But the determinant low-growing tomatoes, and the EARLY ripening period, are the best suited for open ground. By August, they will have time to reveal their potential and it will be possible to harvest a good, high-quality harvest. therefore in the open field it is best to plant low-growing bush varieties of tomatoes (tomato).

Early ripe:

• Yamal, the Far North.

Standard (do not require pinching and have a compact bush):

• Amur bole and Penguin, Otradny and Moskvich.

Varieties for open ground in Siberia:

• Oak, May early, White filling-241, Apples in the snow, De Barao.

Early ripening varieties for open ground:

• Snow queen, Snowdrop, Spring drops, Bullfinch.

For salting and pickling:

• Rio Grande, Rio Fuega, Maroussia.

In the greenhouse

But in greenhouses for liana-shaped tall varieties of tomatoes - grace. For the most part, these are not varieties, but hybrids, in which the breeders have put the best qualities. But they are also more capricious. therefore indeterminate (tall) varieties are best planted in a greenhouse... And let the low-growing tomatoes grow beautifully on the street, and without them it is cramped in the greenhouse

Greenhouse varieties in Siberia:

• De Barao and Olya F1 (determinant but good for greenhouses),
• Verlioka F1 (medium-sized and productive),
• Jubilee Tarasenko and Cosmonaut Volkov (mid-season indeterminate salad varieties).

Tall large-fruited tomatoes:

• Giant red, pink, Mikado, Giant Novikov, Semipalatinsky, Bull heart.

Early maturing indeterminate hybrids:

• Nastya is sweet, Paradise candy, Children's joy, Sweet girl.

 

Variety or hybrid

A huge number of varieties and hybrids of tomatoes have been bred, among those and others there are good and bad ones. The quality of the crop does not depend in any way on whether a variety or a hybrid was planted. The fundamental difference between these concepts is that seeds can be harvested from varietal tomatoes, and excellent tomatoes can be grown from them the next year. It is impossible to get seeds from hybrids. No, of course, you can take a good, high-quality tomato, prepare seeds from it, plant it. But ... nothing good will grow. In the second generation, hybrids are destroying traits, dividing them into male and female lines.As a result, you can get a crop of disgusting quality, completely different specimens.

Unusual tomatoes

For those gardeners who are tired of the monotony, want to try something new and surprise guests at the festive table, amazing varieties of tomatoes have been bred. It is possible to grow them in greenhouses in the conditions of the Central belt or Siberia. This is not exotic, as it might seem at first glance. It's just that these varieties have an unusual shape, color or taste.

• Moscow delicacy - pepper-shaped tomato,
• Varieties Tigrovy and Tigris - striped color,
• Grouse - tomatoes that look like watermelon,
• Emerald Apple, Jade Gem F1, Emerald Gem F1 - Green Tomatoes,
• Black Prince - tomatoes with a black and raspberry color, outwardly similar to olives,

• Peach - Creamy orange tomatoes, reminiscent of a peach.
• Budenovka - large pink heart-shaped tomatoes.
• Yellow ball and F1 Honey candy - yellow tomatoes in ripeness stage,
• Banana orange and Banana red - banana-shaped tomatoes,
• Khokhloma and Chukhloma - elongated red tomatoes,
• Lotus, Snowball, Snow White, Marshmallow and White Sugar - White Fruit Tomatoes,

• Swamp - fruits of brown color with pinkish-yellow-brown blotches, but very tasty,
• F1 chocolate - dark brown tomatoes,
• Pepper striped - the name speaks for itself,
• Louis 17 - pear-shaped fruits,
• Don Quixote F1 - cuboid fruit shape,
• Maroussia is an egg-shaped (plum-shaped) fruit for open ground,
• Grape, Cherry red and Cherry yellow - small-fruited tomatoes,
• Yellow caramel F1 and red caramel F1 - they resemble sweet cherries in shape, and caramel in taste.

The next article will be devoted to varieties resistant to a particular disease. There are many such varieties and hybrids, and they require more detailed consideration.

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.

The 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 a higher yield can be learned 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, 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 productive 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 up;

• 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, on each of which more than 35 small (50-60 g) fruits ripen.

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.
