They are distinguished by their good and natural taste, resistance to diseases and bad weather conditions, and they also bring a rich harvest.

Features of seeds

Tomatoes bred in a particular country have distinctive characteristics. Most often this is due to the natural conditions of the places where they were bred. Dutch breeding seeds are distinguished by three characteristics:

1. Relatively low cost of tomato care. Because these varieties are very unpretentious, but very fertile.

conclusions

Agricultural products require painstaking and constant attention. However, there are varieties and species that are able to "work" without tireless care. One of these plants is the Dutch tomato varieties. Due to their historical homeland, they are stable and unpretentious to care for. At the same time, almost all varieties give huge yields. The main thing is to find the right look. Tomato is a very tasty and healthy vegetable, and with the variety of its varieties, you can always find your “favorite”.

Today, Dutch varieties of tomatoes are well known throughout Russia and abroad, for example, in Ukraine and Moldova, where they are successfully grown. Some well-known varieties and hybrids are in the top twenty of the most popular due to their resistance, vigor, high yield. Let's talk in more detail about how they differ from domestic varieties, what is their popularity, and present to our readers the best Dutch tomatoes that may be on your table.

Features of varietal tomatoes from the Netherlands

Nowadays, on store shelves you can find many varieties and hybrids of tomatoes from various manufacturers. A fairly large market share belongs to companies from the Netherlands, for example, Nunhems, Seminis, Syngenta, Bejo. They are undoubtedly the leaders among imported seeds.

As an edible crop, tomatoes were not used in Europe until the 18th century, although they were imported from America two and a half centuries before that.As for the Netherlands, despite the heat-loving culture, it quickly took root in this country. Very often it is for this reason that our gardeners choose exactly the Dutch varieties of tomatoes. The Netherlands is a country with a minimum number of sunny days a year, it rains very often there, so when crossing, breeders try to breed varieties and hybrids that are resistant to such conditions.

Among Dutch tomatoes, there are both those that can be grown in greenhouses and those that are intended for outdoor use. However, one should not delude ourselves: for each specific hybrid or variety, it is necessary to withstand the conditions for which it was bred. Disease resistance is a huge advantage, but many domestic tomatoes tolerate most diseases and viruses well, which makes them equally popular.

Important! When choosing seeds, pay attention to the information on the package.

For someone, the ripening period, taste are important, but for someone the safety of tomatoes, the ability to transport them, or even such quality as the height of the bush and the complexity of caring for the plant are considered more important.

If you buy seeds of hybrids or varieties in a store, pay attention to the fact that the information on the package is translated into Russian. Important information:

• tomato resistance to disease;
• ripening period of tomatoes;
• plant and fruit size;
• yield per bush or square meter;
• use and taste.

Since the competition in the market today is great, new greenhouse farms are being built every year, experts advise from time to time to try new selection, including imported tomatoes.

Reviews of gardeners about varieties and hybrids from Holland

Dutch tomato varieties are distinguished by their high resistance to diseases. Our brief review pointed out this fact. That is why they are often preferred by greenhouse owners. Soil cultivation in plastic and glass greenhouses is a big problem. When grown, tomatoes are often alternated with cucumbers to avoid contamination.

Maria Andreeva, Moscow region

I love the hybrid "President" of the Dutch selection, it gives an excellent rich harvest, which suits me completely. Also several times were planted "Bull's Heart" from Holland of various colors, pink and even black varieties. Delicious, large, but they can only be used for salads. It makes no sense to preserve them.

Olesya V, Crimean Peninsula

I have been growing tomato seeds from Holland for ten years in the open field. I love "Rio Grande" very much, they are small and tasty, they make excellent salads. Of the unusual, I took up the cultivation of a hybrid "Benito", it seemed that the usual "Rio Grande" is better. We also planted "Rosaliza", it has beautiful pink fruits, low compact bushes. The Dutch tomato varieties are really very hardy. If you plant ten seeds, in the worst case, 8-9 will germinate, and in the best case, absolutely everything. For this we love them.

Valery Kim, Volgograd

I have three greenhouses on the site, in one of them I always plant the President and Big Beef tomatoes. I like Dutch varieties for two reasons: they grow very well, they are not afraid of any diseases, their firmness is excellent, plus excellent commercial qualities. Since I sell 70 percent of the harvest, this is very important for me. Tomato fruits are well stored, do not crack, have a beautiful skin tone and a pleasant shine. This is not to say that they are tasteless, on the contrary, the very aroma of a tomato is present, there is enough acidity and sweetness. I advise you to buy seeds only in specialized stores in good packaging, and not from your hands on the market.

Conclusion

Of course, tomato seeds from Holland are widespread throughout the country today and are very popular. This is due to the fact that agricultural companies from this country work for the Russian market, while having vast experience in the field of breeding. Try to comply with the growing conditions, and the harvest will be delightful!

The Dutch have succeeded not only in growing tulips, but have recently gained popularity in the tomato market as the best in the breeding of this vegetable in the world. They have developed varieties of tomatoes that are both high-yielding and resistant to various diseases characteristic of this delicate vegetable.

The history of the emergence and cultivation of tomatoes in Holland

Many people know that tomatoes came to Europe from the American colonies after Columbus's famous discovery of new lands.

Many people know that tomatoes came to Europe from the American colonies after the famous discovery of new lands by Columbus. The correct name of the vegetable - tomato - originates from the language of the Aztecs, who so called not only this vegetable, but also the physalis close to it. And the Italians began to call it a tomato, which in translation means a golden apple, because the first fruits were yellow and glowed to match the paradise apples. If many Europeans considered tomatoes to be an ornamental plant, it was the Italians who first began to eat them, and then even taught this to the Americans.

In the middle of the 16th century, this outlandish plant appeared in the gardens of the Dutch, and only in the second half of the 18th century did it gain a foothold in the category of edible vegetable crops. And since then, thanks to crossing and selection, tomatoes have firmly conquered the north of Europe, they began to be grown in Holland and Sweden, where they easily adapted to the harsh climate conditions of these countries. And nowadays, hybrids of tall and medium-sized tomatoes from Holland have gained popularity among gardeners, because they have a real tomato taste and give a large harvest.

Characteristic properties of the best varieties of Dutch tomatoes

For gardeners, the main task is to choose the best variety that will successfully pass all stages of growth and give a large number of tomatoes from the bush.

The following hybrid tomato varieties from Holland are popular:

The early maturing large-fruited Bobcat F1 ripens for a hundred days both indoors and outdoors. The variety is not afraid of a sharp increase in temperature over 30 degrees Celsius, it easily tolerates this, and also has a high resistance to fungal diseases. The fleshy bright red fruits of the tomato can be stored for a long time and are not damaged during transportation.

The variety Crystal F1 grows even earlier, which is universal in purpose: tasty in salads, pleasant in winter preparations. Medium-sized three-chambered fleshy fruits have a high quality taste and retain it perfectly for a long time. The plant is resistant to diseases such as tobacco mosaic, verticilliosis and cladosporiosis. With proper care, up to seven kilograms of delicious fruits can be harvested from one bush.

President II F1 is considered a particularly high-yielding, powerful Dutch variety

President II F1, which grows best in greenhouses, is considered a particularly high-yielding, powerful Dutch variety. Dense, slightly ribbed fruits reach a mass of at least three hundred grams. The variety has a high stable protection against diseases caused by various fungi and viruses.

Tomatoes of the Tarpan F1 variety are distinguished by their compactness and early ripening. Juicy pink fruits with a pleasant sweet taste are mainly suitable for preparing salads.

Skif F 1 is characterized by high growth, therefore, the main requirement for care is considered to be tying bushes to trellises, and early maturity. Tomatoes are not afraid of infection with fusarium, verticillosis and nematodes.

The Big Beef F1 variety results in a vigorous plant with a long stem with very large three hundred grams of fruits, which, unlike other hybrids, have a pronounced tomato flavor.

This Dutchman is comfortable in any conditions: both in equipped greenhouses and in the open field using stakes and trellises.

Similar to the Cherry variety, the Punto 7 F1 tomato amazes with its pleasant taste, is especially good for making ketchups, various types of sauces and salads, and is irreplaceable in canning.

The hybrid is not afraid of all known diseases that most often affect tomatoes.

The varieties Polfast and Polonez are the most ultra-early: they delight with fruits two months after planting.They have such an excellent quality as the characteristic good fruit set even at low temperatures.

The main characteristic of Dutch tomato hybrids is their ability to be resistant to diseases, most often affecting tomatoes, and to unfavorable climatic conditions.

The main characteristic of Dutch tomato hybrids is their ability to be disease resistant.

Advantageous features of Dutch tomato cultivation technology

The main thing in growing any vegetable, including tomato, is to obtain a rich harvest with a minimum of physical and material costs for this. And Dutch breeders showed how to achieve this by developing a special technology for growing tomatoes.

In a small area, using bags filled with a nutrient substrate, more than sixty kilograms of tomatoes can be harvested from one square meter.

The soil base for growing vegetables is rock wool instead of earth, this leads to the fact that the risk of contamination of tomatoes with various diseases is reduced.

In the greenhouses according to the Dutch method, the cultivation of a delicious vegetable takes place all year round. A plant grown using Dutch technology must meet certain requirements. The peduncle of such tomatoes should be short with a cluster of flowers hanging down. On the first brush, the number of leaves should not exceed ten, and the stem of the vegetable should be of medium thickness with correctly located internodes.

It takes a lot of effort and patience to reap the fruits of the high-yielding, disease-resistant tomato varieties.

It takes a lot of effort and patience to produce fruits from high-yielding, disease-resistant tomato varieties.

The main secrets of growing tomatoes include:

• Remove diseased and damaged leaves from plants in time.
• To trim excess ovaries, otherwise the tomato will not have enough strength to grow all the fruits.
• For high-quality pollination, it is good to launch insects into the greenhouse: wasps, bumblebees.
• Take the harvest every morning. Cover the bushes with the last fruits with foil or coat the stems with ethylene, which will allow them to ripen faster.
• For better preservation, the crop is folded into boxes or baskets, laying their foam on the bottom.

After harvesting the fruits, the greenhouses are cleared of bushes, disinfected the soil or completely replaced and the seeds are re-planted.

Selecting a place and creating conditions for the successful growth of a tomato

An ideal place for growing Dutch tomato seedlings is a spacious greenhouse, which provides conditions for air temperature control and ventilation. Before planting plants or seedlings indoors, it must be heated to the desired level so that the soil constantly maintains a temperature of at least 15 degrees above zero.

For planting seeds, pots are used in the form of cassettes with holes in the bottom in order to remove excess moisture. The bottom of the container should be filled with a drainage layer, and then mineral wool is put in, adding fertilizer to it. The entire composition is moistened, and seeds of Dutch tomatoes are placed in it, and on top they are covered with a thin layer, no more than a centimeter, of sand mixed with vermiculite. To create the desired humidity, the pots are covered with either glass or foil, and then removed to a shaded place.

Containers with plants must be placed slightly above ground level.

After two weeks, the emerging seedlings can be transplanted to a permanent place, in prepared containers or bags.

Containers with plants must be located just above the ground level, then pests and other damage are not afraid of tomato seedlings.

In a greenhouse, there should be no more than three plants per square meter, otherwise they will not have enough light.

In order to harvest Dutch tomatoes all year round in the greenhouse, pipes of the heating system are laid on top of it. Due to this, the temperature of the air and soil will be within 18 degrees above zero. Comfortable temperature conditions will help ensure the development of a strong root system and prevent shedding of flowers and ovaries. And the fruits of tomatoes will be large, rich in color.

In order to obtain a good harvest, it is also necessary to organize air exchange in the room where tomato sprouts develop. Greenhouse fans are ideal for this. A prerequisite for obtaining tasty fruits is air humidity, it should not be lower than fifty percent.

The use of carbon dioxide for better photosynthesis of plants is also the main component for obtaining a high yield.

Some varieties of tomatoes from Holland can also be planted outdoors. But for this, it is advisable to process the seeds before planting, protecting them from viral and fungal attacks in the future. Overnight, the seeds are soaked in a solution of wood ash, or sodium humanate, or nitrophoska. After that, the seed is placed in clean water, and after rinsing for two days - in the refrigerator. Having undergone such treatment, the plants will be resistant to both diseases and small drops in air temperature.

After the threat of frost passes, the prepared tomato seedlings are planted in open ground

After the threat of frost passes, the prepared tomato seedlings are planted in open ground. This should be done with special attention so as not to damage the root system of young plants. The roots with lumps of soil are carefully placed in the holes so that the leaves are above the ground at a distance of at least two centimeters, then the tomato stems will not come into contact with the ground and avoid the possibility of infection.

Creation of special conditions for Dutch varieties of tomatoes will increase the yield of the vegetable throughout the year.

Observe the rules of caring for tomatoes - the basis of a rich harvest

Gardeners-practitioners believe that the main condition for the correct development of tomatoes is the choice of the best option for watering tomato bushes. Drip irrigation of the plant from below is the most effective method of irrigation. For this, plastic pipes with special perforations are laid along the grooves, to which a watering hose is easily attached.

But the irrigation calendar depends on many conditions: on the ambient temperature, the rate of evaporation of moisture from the soil surface and solar activity. The water needed for watering a tomato is taken either from rainwater or at room temperature.

At the very beginning, it is advisable to drink the transplanted tomato seedlings with salt water in order to slightly increase the electrical conductivity of the plants.

Pruning excess flowers on the bush is also necessary for the active growth of the tomato. They usually leave five flowers on the first two brushes, and six on the others. Pollinating with the help of insects, you can achieve an increase in the number of fruits from the bush. If it is not possible to carry out such pollination, then you can simply shake a brush with flowers in the greenhouse, and then air the greenhouse.

It is imperative to form a bush in tomato hybrids, preventing stepsons from developing and leaving the main stem. This usually applies to indeterminate types of tomato, the stem of which can grow indefinitely. And you can't do without tying to stakes or on trellises. But determinant tomatoes stop growing in length after five flower brushes begin to tie. Therefore, they do not need any pinching or tying when growing in greenhouses. But for species growing in the garden, you will have to carry out a garter, otherwise the stem will not support the weight of a large number of fruits.

Removing stepchildren is a crucial moment in caring for tomatoes

Removing stepchildren is a crucial moment in caring for tomatoes. Leaving a few stems on the plant produces more fruits, but they will be small and of poor quality in size. With a warm, dry summer, up to three stems are left at the vegetable, and with hot and humid ones - no more than two.

Dutch breeders pay great attention to plant feeding without applying it to the root, because through the leaves the necessary substances will be absorbed faster by the vegetable. Once a week, it is necessary to spray the tomato bushes with a solution of magnesium or boron.

With a lack of calcium in the soil, the fruits will begin to rot and ripen unevenly. Then spraying with a filtered solution of wood ash will come in handy.

To speed up the ripening process of fruits, it is necessary to remove the leaves above them in order to avoid shading.

Scientists recommend to paint the stems of the remaining tomatoes with a special hormone, ethylene, ten days before the end of the harvest. It will help the fruit ripen quickly.

Once the tomatoes are ripe, harvest begins four times a week in the morning. In winter, tomatoes in greenhouses will look less ripe, but it will already be possible to pluck them from the bush. In order for them to mature, they must be placed in a dark room with a high air temperature.

After all the fruits are harvested, it is necessary to carry out a general cleaning in the greenhouse, removing all old, dry bushes and processing the soil. Then it is possible to start sowing anew to grow the next batch of tomatoes.
