The best domestic varieties of tomatoes

Modern varieties of tomatoes for the greenhouse must meet high requirements for a whole range of features. In this article, we will consider the best tomato varieties for 2017-2018, suitable for growing in greenhouses and greenhouses in various regions.

Indoor ground creates conditions close to the climate of this vegetable's homeland (tropical America), which allows you to get the most out of a small area. Heat accumulation and protection from cold, reliability are the most important advantages of a greenhouse over open ground.

But there are also disadvantages: excessive heat and high humidity, stagnant air and poor pollination, massive attacks of infections and pests, lack of taste occur. The genetically inherent potential of the variety plays an important role in the final quantity and quality of the crop.

Selection factors

It is not easy to single out the best varieties of tomatoes for greenhouses among the variety of assortments in 2018. Any gardener has his own understanding of the "best", each land plot has a special microclimate. Should be considered:

Purpose of growing: for the needs of the family or for sale

For implementation on the market, options are selected with standard, leveled fruits, transportable, with the highest possible efficiency. For personal needs, everything is determined by your own predilections.

Purpose and variety of fruits

We love tomatoes for their incredible variety: in terms of ripening, shape, color, taste, nutritional value, culinary possibilities.

Before the start of the sowing season, you need to decide on your expectations: how many early vegetables you want, and how much will go for storage, whether whole-fruit canning is planned, etc.It is necessary to think in advance about the ratio of salad and pickled varieties, red and multi-colored, early and late, the amount of cherry, etc. Bias in favor of one group can lead to disappointment later on.

The need for stability or exoticism

There are gardeners with an ineradicable thirst for experimentation, for whom the indicators of productivity and reliability are not the most important.

Greenhouse design features

Many parameters matter.

• The assortment of tomatoes for year-round and summer greenhouses will differ. Plants for winter greenhouses (equipped with special heating) are expected to be more stress-resistant and tolerant of lack of sunlight.
• The temperature regime of the greenhouse plays a huge role. The possibility of timely through ventilation, length, air volume, number and location of doors and vents, thermoregulation automation, greenhouse materials (film, polycarbonate, glass, agrofibre) - all this affects the choice of tomato variety.

In an optimal, stable microclimate, any options will be successful.

But breeders also offer specially bred forms that can withstand extreme heat, temperature contrasts, and cold snaps.

Water supply

Tomato plants like constant moderate humidity in the root zone. If it is not possible to ensure this, it is necessary to plant varieties that are not prone to cracking of fruits, and are resistant to drought.

Disease prognosis

This factor is one of the most important in tomato greenhouse cultivation. Indoor ground accumulates many harmful pathogens, which are very difficult to resist.

Special hybrid varieties deal with this problem more successfully.

But some vegetable growers are principal opponents of hybrids because of their fear of GMOs, and some do not like the “rubber” density and fresh taste of the fruit, and the cost of hybrid seeds is high, there is a risk of running into a fake.

Giving preference to non-hybrid forms, you need to carefully consider agricultural technology: possibilities of crop rotation, disinfection of seeds and greenhouses, establishment of ventilation, regular chemical or biological treatments, etc.

Bush height and potential yield

Far from everything is decided by agricultural technology, each variety has its own "ceiling". Of course, the most productive varieties of tomatoes for greenhouses are the earliest ripening, but with a long return. As a rule, these are tall tomatoes - indeterminate. They are necessarily stepson, taking them out in 1-2 (less often 3) trunks.

Can determinate tomatoes be planted in a greenhouse? In general, the answer is yes, but the specific choice depends on the situation:

• Tomatoes with a determinate type of growth are convenient, but not too low - the so-called "semi-determinant". They themselves are inhibited in development at a height of 120-150 cm, tying several tiers of brushes. For the further continuation of their growth (if necessary), the upper stepson is left - he will replace the stopped top.
• Undersized determinants are sometimes used as curb compactors for greenhouse beds.
• Early maturing determinant tomatoes are a forced choice for greenhouses heavily infected with fungal and bacterial infections (when a significant part of the crop is lost annually). An early and friendly harvest will have time to ripen before the mass development of infections. After harvesting the fruits, the greenhouse is occupied with other vegetables (greens, radishes) or siderates.

Scheme: How to choose tomato seeds for greenhouses and open ground

Is it possible to grow different varieties of tomatoes in the same greenhouse?

The answer is simple: it is possible and even necessary. Tomatoes are a self-pollinated crop, and the harvest will set even if there is only one variety, this is quite acceptable. But this will not satisfy all needs; in addition, diversity reduces the role of the factor of instability and the risk of failure. It is advisable to plant both proven varieties and new selection annually.

New varieties of tomatoes

New items are the most resistant to diseases.Breeding is also carried out to increase yields, evenness of fruits, and improve taste.

Tomatoes for the greenhouse: the best varieties according to the reviews of gardeners in 2017

At the beginning of the sowing season, some gardeners think - what kind of tomato to choose for growing in a greenhouse this time? The reason for thinking may be different - some were not satisfied with the yield or taste of the fruits grown last year, others want to try something new.

To make it easier to choose, let's try to determine which tomato varieties according to user reviews in the past 2017 are the most:

• delicious;
• sweet.

The most delicious varieties of tomatoes

Taste preferences, as you know, are different for different people.This also applies to the evaluation of the taste properties of tomatoes. However, the juiciness of the fruit (not to be confused with "wateriness"), its aroma, the presence or absence of a harmonious combination of the main flavoring components in it, is perceived by the overwhelming majority of people approximately the same and is a fairly objective basis for classifying the fruit as tasty or not.

According to the reviews of most consumers, many domestic tomato varieties are superior to foreign ones in this parameter, including varieties of such famous breeding companies as Bejo Zaden or SYNGENTA AG, although they are inferior in a number of other characteristics (yield, transportability, disease resistance, etc.).

If you try to summarize the reviews, then often referred to as "tasty" varieties such as:

• Dad pink;
• Monomakh's hat;
• Giant pink;
• Budenovka;
• Pound pink rosemary.

These are large-fruited varieties that are excellent for fresh consumption, as well as for making salads and juice.

Note that pink tomato varieties are on average less productive than red ones, but according to most people, they have better taste. This list is certainly not limited to "tasty" varieties and other consumers may have their favorite types of tomatoes.

Sweet varieties of tomatoes

The concept of a sweet tomato variety is more specialized than a “tasty” variety. And here, too, most of the reviews were on the side of domestic varieties over foreign ones.

The explanation is simple. Foreign varieties are focused on commercial success - high yield, transportability, keeping quality, preservation of the presentation for a long time.

In contrast, tomatoes grown in greenhouses for personal consumption have higher taste requirements than those listed above.

Consumers speak well of such sweet varieties as:

• Malachite Box;
• Pink honey;
• Truffle;
• Dimensionless;
• Bull heart;
• Honey King;
• Chernomor;
• Orange giant.

There are also good reviews for other sweet varieties in all varieties of tomatoes by the appearance of their skin - green, orange, pink, red and purple.

Real battles unfolded during the voting for the most productive varieties of tomatoes that our readers have grown in their beds. Evaluated according to different criteria - from frost resistance and keeping quality, to taste and pickling qualities.

Amateur tomato growers from our social network group voted for many varieties, which pleased us with their unpretentiousness and productivity in specific conditions. It is simply impossible to mention all varieties of tomatoes in one article. Therefore, we will list only those who, according to practitioners, have become the absolute leaders of the rating. And who, if not tomato growers, can be trusted 100%.

Let's start at the very bottom of the rating and tell you about the tomato varieties that received the least number of votes. However, this does not mean that these tomatoes are bad or weak and should not be grown. It's just that it's not customary to argue about tastes.

Eagle heart

A tomato with the proud name Eagle Heart occupies the bottom line of our top. Everyone who grows these giant tomatoes with an elongated tip, shaped like a heart, leaves only positive reviews about it. Fruit weight reaches 600-800 g, and sometimes up to 1 kg. One such pink-raspberry fleshy "hulk" - and you can feed the whole family with salad! The pulp of a tomato is sugary, juicy and sweet.

The variety is determinant, with an average ripening period - in a greenhouse with nutritious soil, the bushes grow up to 170 cm and need to be pinned and tied. Outdoors, they may be slightly lower. But their yield sometimes exceeds 10 kg per bush. For the sake of such impressive results, no effort is spared. Moreover, the tomato shows resistance to most diseases, does not lose its shape during transportation and can be stored for up to 3 months.

Koenigsberg

A mid-season variety of indeterminate (up to 2 m high) tomatoes, which confidently took the 10th line of our amateur rating. The first fruits usually ripen in 110-115 days from the moment of sowing the seeds. Even beginners will be able to cope with their cultivation. The variety has been tested and hardened in the harsh conditions of Siberia. Therefore, you can safely plant these tomatoes in open ground. Their yield indicators are impressive - from 4 to 18 kg per 1 sq. M.

"Königsberg performed well both in the greenhouse and in the OG." Yuri Kuzminykh.

Oblong fruits ripen in clusters of 6 pieces, they weigh an average of 300 g, under favorable conditions the weight can be 2-3 times higher than the standard declared by the manufacturer. Both the skin and the flesh of tomatoes are dense, which makes them easier to transport. They are, of course, healthier fresh, but in the form of juice, thick paste or sauce, they are also very tasty. There are varieties of red and yellow color (Golden Koenigsberg).

“Königsberg is an excellent variety, bearing fruit throughout October, from one bush to 2 buckets. In the greenhouse, of course. " Lyudmila Petlyuk.

Abakan pink

On the 9th line - a variety of medium late ripening (110-120 days from germination), determinant type (height - 70-80 cm). In a greenhouse it can grow up to 140-150 cm. The bush must be formed into 1-2 stems and tied up. Fruits of pink color, heart-shaped (weighing up to 300 g) with tasty dense pulp will ripen on it. If cared for correctly, tomatoes weighing up to 800 g can be removed, which rival the popular Bull Heart in size.

There are many positive reviews about the cultivation of this tomato, no one criticizes it. It can be grown in Siberia, and a light film cover will be enough for the bushes to protect them from recurrent spring or late autumn frosts. This representative of the nightshade is rarely sick, it will be necessary to drive away the Colorado beetles only from immature seedlings. In a word, he will not create much trouble for you, but he will delight you with tomatoes - both in a salad in summer and in preparations for the winter.

“I recommend Abakan pink. Unpretentious and very tasty. " Lydia Domnikova-Kazakova.

Chio-chio-san

Of the shortcomings of this indeterminate (sometimes it grows up to 2 m) tomato - only the need for a bush in support and formation. The rest is a set of advantages! It is resistant to adverse conditions and can grow even in Siberia and the Far East. It bears fruit well not only in the greenhouse, but also in the open field. It is not afraid of the main diseases of the nightshade.

“In the greenhouse I am always pleased with the Chio-Chio-san variety from Gavrish. Maria Dolzhikova.

According to the ripening period, the tomato belongs to the mid-early - from the appearance of the first shoots to the beginning of fruiting, 100-120 days pass. It will not let you down with the harvest either - although the tomatoes are small (on average about 30-40 g), but they ripen up to 50 pieces. on the brush! So the harvest from a bush with proper care is 4 kg and can reach a record 6 kg. And the taste of this tomato is excellent! And in the blanks, it looks very presentable.

“Chio-chio-san - sweet, very productive, tall, with up to 50 even thin-skinned sweet tomatoes in a bunch! Universal for food and preservation. " Tatiana Vznuzdaeva. Tula region

Apple tree of Russia

Tomatoes with such a quivering name could not help but get into the top - they ripen early - from the time the first shoots appear until the bushes are completely covered with small round fruits (weighing about 100 g) and really look like bulk apples, it takes from 118 to 135 days.

Many people consider this tomato problem-free - it is determinant, standard bushes grow low - up to 100 cm; you do not need to give them a shape and pinch them; they are not capricious and feel great and set fruits both in the greenhouse and in the open field. On one bush, up to 100 neat tomatoes suitable for canning can ripen at the same time - the skin will not burst, there is no need to be afraid. Not a tomato, but just a feast for the eyes!

Monomakh's hat

6th step of the conditional "pedestal". These bright red tomatoes will appeal to lovers of large fruits - they weigh from 400 to 900 g. The pulp has a balanced taste due to the harmonious ratio of acids and sugar.

The type of fruiting is medium early (90-110 days pass from the moment the seedlings are planted). Bushes are indeterminate, formed on a trunk. The plant successfully resists diseases, but prefers warmth to the cold, so in the northern regions it is better to plant it in a greenhouse. In conditions of protected ground, the yield is impressive and reaches 20 kg per 1 sq. M. In the garden, the indicators are also decent - up to 8 kg per bush.

Puzata khata

In terms of the number of votes won, he did not go far from the Cap of Monomakh. The appearance of these tomatoes fully explains the name. Large (300 g), pear-shaped, ribbed, just like squat houses for gnomes, these tomatoes ripen early - 105-110 days after transplanting. True, they turn red gradually if there is a lot of heat and sun. They are grown in the open field and under a film, where they ripen faster. Fleshy fruits, very sweet and juicy to taste.

The bushes are indeterminate, but even in a greenhouse their height rarely exceeds 170 cm.However, it will not be possible to do without formation. The stems are thin and need a garter, as they can lie under the weight of the fruit. And the yield of these tomatoes, ripening in brushes of 3-5 pcs., Show quite decent - 10-11 kg per bush. They are not very susceptible to common cultural diseases, but preventive measures of protection have not prevented anyone yet.

“This year, too, I want a Puzata hut. Last year they were with a friend - just a miracle! " Marina Samoilova.

Golden domes

The votes gained allowed these tomatoes to occupy the 4th line of the rating. In their "piggy bank" there are many good reviews, since the variety has almost no flaws, for which it is recognized and loved by many. It is highly resistant to major diseases, and timely applied insecticides will ward off harmful insects.

Determinate bushes (height from 90 to 150 cm), medium ripening period (100-116 days). You will still have to form it into 2-3 stems and tie it up, so it will not work at all without effort on your part. The yield is very good - up to 13 kg per bush with an average tomato weight of 200-400 g, and if the care is good, they will gain all 800 g! Ripe fruits are bright orange, juicy even in appearance. The pulp is fleshy, very tasty, sweet.

“I love golden domes very much - they are tasty, fruitful and beautiful. Excellent variety! " Love Chernoguz.

Eagle beak

The bronze "medal" and the 3rd place in the rating is received by the Eagle's beak, which is popular with many tomato growers! The variety is mid-season (110-115 days), semi-determinant - the height of strong bushes reaches 120-150 cm. Competent formation, tying to a trellis and timely pinching will help them develop harmoniously and bear fruit well. Under ideal conditions and with proper agricultural technology, the yield can be up to 8 kg per bush.

"Eagle's beak is the best, I have no competition yet, the leader for today." Olga Nesmeyanova.

The fruits are large, of an unusual shape, with an elongated and curved tip, similar to a beak. On average, they weigh 200-400 g, but some grow up to 800 g. The pulp is dense and juicy, with a sweetish taste.

"I really like the Eagle's Beak !!!" Nina Belevtseva.

De Barao

Breaking away from the rivals, the honorable 2nd place in the top varieties is occupied by the famous De Barao tomato variety. The variety is late ripening (ripening periods vary from 110 to 130 days from the moment of planting seedlings), indeterminate (2-3 m), sometimes bushes can grow up to 4 m. The main advantages of the variety are its cold resistance, shade tolerance and yield.These tomatoes grow well and ripen successfully in all regions with a temperate climate, both in greenhouses and in the open field. The plants are so unpretentious that even inexperienced gardeners can take care of them.

"Tall De Barao gives stable yields in any weather: rain or heat, even in the shade." Tatiana Trach.

The yield of De Barao is exceptional - from one bush you can collect from 4 to 10 kg of strong, oblong fruits weighing about 100 g. It is noteworthy that the plants give the crop for a long time (up to 3 months). There are varieties with pink, red, yellow and black fruits. Tomatoes keep well due to their firm skins and are also suitable for pickling or pickling for the same reason.

“The only one who stood in the greenhouse and matured in October is De Barao. Persistent tin ... ". Tatiana Gorodetskaya.

Bull heart

The generally recognized and most popular variety of Bull's Heart becomes the absolute leader of the national tomato rating, which has received a record number of votes! A real Senior Tomato in all respects!

The variety is late-ripening - the first fruits (5 pieces in a brush) ripen 120-130 days after germination. In the open field, the yield is from 3 to 5 kg of tomatoes per bush. In a greenhouse, this figure can increase to 12 kg. Determinant type bush - stems grow up to 1.5 m or more. To achieve record yields, do not neglect leaving - timely formation and garter to the support, preventive treatment for late blight - and the harvest will not keep you waiting!

Tomatoes are heart-shaped, bright red in shape. Hybrids range in color from lemon and raspberry to deep brown and black. Average weight - from 300-500 g to 800 g and even up to 1 kg. On the bush, large specimens are located closer to the ground, smaller ones - in the upper part of the stem. The giant size of the fruit, dense pulp and unique sweet taste make this tomato an unconditional favorite of all gardeners without exception. This is confirmed by the voting on the portal and our rating based on its results.

“I planted a Bull's heart, even in a cool and rainy summer season - it gave a good harvest. The husband adores him! " Tatiana Arzhanova.

If you still do not grow tomatoes because of fears that the weather will let you down, you will not be able to cope or the plants will die due to diseases or improper care, we hope that positive feedback and recommendations from the members of our Tomato Growers Club will convince you otherwise. And over time, on the pages of our website and in the group in social networks, you will also begin to enthusiastically discuss your new achievements and share your successes!

Literally in a few weeks, the summer cottage season will begin, which means that lovers of such a holiday should already gradually begin to deal with seedlings. As experienced summer residents advise, March is the last month, which is suitable for planting seeds at home or greenhouse conditions, as well as indoors. Many novice gardeners believe that this is a fairly simple business, but in fact it is associated with a lot of difficulties.

First of all, you need to choose the right variety, since the yield of the site will depend on this. We decided to devote our today's review to this issue - there are a large number of different subtleties that will have to be taken into account. Let's start, perhaps, with the basic rules for choosing planting material.

Which tomato seeds are considered the most productive and why?

For the most part, gardeners peck at bright and colorful packaging, which depicts large and ripe tomatoes. They usually assume that they will be able to grow the same fruit. When choosing seeds, it should be borne in mind that such varieties need daily, or even hourly, care, otherwise it will simply not work to get a large harvest. In this regard, such packaging is not a guarantee.This should be remembered first.

When choosing planting material, you need to take into account a number of parameters that, in one way or another, will affect the growth of plants and the overall yield:

• The climatic conditions in which such crops will grow;

Large-fruited tomato

Most beef tomatoes are tall and can only give a full harvest in greenhouse conditions. Some indeterminate varieties are suitable for open ground, but only in the south of the country, so you should pay more attention to semi-determinant and determinant tomatoes. Early low-growing varieties of Siberian selection, maximally adapted to unfavorable conditions, are excellent for cold regions. For warm areas, there is more choice, mid-season and mid-late varieties have time to ripen there.

Large-fruited beef tomatoes

Beef tomatoes

Large-fruited tomatoes have their own characteristics that should be taken into account in the growing process. Firstly, the formation of large fruits requires a lot of nutrients, so you will have to feed the plants more often. Secondly, a large number of ovaries degrades the quality of the crop, and in order to obtain homogeneous tomatoes, it is necessary to remove excess inflorescences in time. In addition, the shoots need support, otherwise they can break from the weight of the ripening fruits.

The advantages of large-fruited varieties:

• very tasty, aromatic, sugary pulp;
• large tomatoes are great for baking, processing into juice (which turns out to be very rich and thick), making ketchup;
• thanks to the strong skin, such tomatoes are stored for a long time;
• with appropriate care, they give high yields.

Minuses:

• ripen later than small-fruited varieties;
• more demanding in care;
• need protection from the wind and support during the fruiting period;
• not suitable for whole-fruit canning.
