The best tomato varieties for

 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 proposed for planting for open and closed ground, without realizing 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 is sometimes enough) and with meticulous experiments (starting with growing seedlings with the addition of Vermiculite to the soil, the 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 a little bit of an idea of ​​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, which guarantee the yield of the crop according to the declared characteristics (regardless of the "delights" 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 workers of many wholesalers and, especially, shops selling seeds. They already know for sure which are the best varieties of tomatoes that people (taking into account their own experience) understand best, 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".

And now I am announcing the number of tomatoes tested in growing, presented below to your gaze, 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, exactly 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 accumulating 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.

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.

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 fertilizing, 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 company "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 entered into the state register in 2007 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

Most noticeable

One of the favorite mid-season varieties (from folk craftsmen). You will not confuse it with any other varieties, it fully justifies its name: foliage like potatoes, mouth-watering raspberry fruits. Tomatoes are round-flat, slightly ribbed, sugary inside. They are large in a salad, 300-800 grams each. The bush of vegetables is strong, compact; able to give half a bucket of marketable tomatoes.

Tomato Stamp large-fruited

Stepson is not necessary

An interesting variety of vegetables with a whole range of valuable characteristics. The plant in seedlings does not stretch. The stem is thick and strong, the bush is compact. Without forming, forms fruits weighing 120-250 grams, with pinching - up to 600 grams. The tomatoes are dense, of excellent taste. Ripening time is average. Demonstrates good resistance to fungal infections, and bacterial bypasses in a roundabout way.

Tomato Kemerovets

Unpretentious Champion

Standard bush, strong, but not too low, fruitful. Fruits are numerous, crimson, cordate-elongated (there is a nose at the tip), weighing 75-150 grams. They ripen well on the vine, are well kept. Ripens early. The plant is shade-tolerant, resistant to cold snaps and diseases. Growing without shaping is allowed. The variety has been in the register since 2007.

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

The most problem-free tomatoes are super-determinant, 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. It grows in the ground 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.

Tomato Demidov

Deservedly popular

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. Suitable for thickened planting (risked 5 pieces per 1 square, giving out a bucket harvest from this area). Tomatoes are rounded, sometimes slightly ribbed. Weight 80-160 grams. The color is crimson pink; the green speck at the stalk is not immediately stained. Dense pulp with excellent taste. The only whim of the variety is the need for uniform soil moisture, without sudden changes, otherwise the fruits may begin to burst. Taken unripe, the tomatoes ripen perfectly in the bed.

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. All of them, in shape resembling peppers, rich red color, fleshy, harmonious taste.

Pink pear tomato

Special

Breeders work a lot with the old folk variety Grushovka, using its genetic material for updated variants. Seed firms offer Grushovka, Moscow Grushovka, hybrid F1 Grushovka pink (Aelita). Non-hybrid Grushovka pink from the Siberian company Agros, registered in the register in 2013, has not a pear-shaped, but an oval shape. Great in salting. The color is pink-scarlet, weight is 90-140 grams. Ripening period - mid-season. Stamp form - shaping the plant unnecessarily. The yield is approaching 7.5 per square meter, if you do not deviate from the truth.

Tomato Blizzard

Early

The variety is zoned in the Urals and Siberia, in the register since 2005. This is an updated version of the old Siberian early ripening variety. An early, amicably ripening salad variety that is grown without pinching. The first brush grows after 7 leaves. The tomatoes are round, sometimes with a hint of ribbing, weighing 60-120 grams, bright scarlet with an orange tint, quite dense for an early variety. Gathering from a bush is about 2 kilograms.

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.

Tomato Klusha

Hides fruits

The variety has been in the state register since 2009. In terms of ripening (108-114 days), it is close to mid-early. Plants are standard, compact in seedlings and in the ground. Growing without pinching is allowed. To get a decent return from the area, we plant 5 pieces per 1 square. Fruit clusters are covered with foliage from above. Tomatoes weighing 100-150 grams, pure red. The shape is round, slightly flattened, slightly ribbed. The taste is good, the purpose is universal.

Superkluff Tomato

The bush is small, the harvest is large

The year of entry into the register is 2015. The height of the bush is on average only 35 (plus or minus 2) cm. It never stretches in seedlings. It grows compactly in the ground, the roots also do not "scatter". We plant 6 pieces per square. This allows you to get from such an area up to one and a half buckets of fruit, most of which are ripening on the vine. Medium early variety (100 days). Tomatoes are pink in color, round, slightly ribbed, rather dense, weighing 145-185 grams (some even 230). Stepson is not necessary. The thick barrel makes it possible to do without even a garter, although it is more reliable with supports. We note the high resistance to diseases.

Tomato Gigolo

Original form

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. Standard bushes with a height fluctuating about 40 cm are not stepchild. In each fruit cluster there are declared 5, sometimes 6 "sausages". Mass ripening, medium early period (100 days).

In respect of taste and color in a decent society, their opinion is not imposed. But this does not apply to tomatoes. Everyone loves culture, and every year they try to determine the best, most delicious varieties, not only amateur gardeners, but also specialists. Of course, there are many parameters by which you can classify tomato varieties into good and not very good ones.

Tomato is a vegetable of tropical origin, but in most agricultural regions it is successfully grown not only in greenhouses. Various varieties of tomatoes for open ground have been bred, and the list is constantly updated. Many years of selective selection have adapted this valuable crop to a temperate climate. The best outdoor tomato varieties adapt well to different weather conditions. Consider varieties and hybrids popular for 2017-2018.

Positive aspects of street culture

The greenhouse is deservedly considered a more reliable option. However, growing tomatoes in soil has several advantages:

• vegetables are tastier and healthier;
• attacks of pests and diseases are less aggressive, less destructive;
• lower financial and labor costs;
• the yield of simple varieties is practically not inferior to those of hybrids.

Seed companies offer growers a choice of hybrid and non-hybrid varieties.

Variety or hybrid?

Indoors, the advantage of hybrids (in all respects, except for the taste and weight of the fruit) is more obvious. For open ground, breeders also offer resistant varieties of tomatoes of hybrid origin, they are resistant to diseases and temperature contrasts.

But numerous reviews indicate that amateur gardeners still prefer non-hybrid forms - they are considered more tasty and aromatic, and you can also get your own seeds from them (this is free, plus a guarantee of germination and varietal purity).

Selection of varieties for open ground

For greenhouses, indeterminate tomatoes with an extended growing season are certainly more profitable. For street beds, the criteria are much broader, but the selection itself is stricter. There is more dependence on a variety of conditions - the climatic zone, microclimate, goals and capabilities of the gardener.

More information on the best varieties of tomatoes for greenhouses for 2017-2018.

We can say that there are three types of street culture:

• reckless way;
• planting seedlings under a temporary shelter;
• planting seedlings immediately under the open sky.

For different climatic zones, the set of varieties for each method will be different, but there is a general rule: mid-late and late ripening periods for open ground are not suitable.

The restrictions on the height of the bushes depend only on the climate and technology: tall varieties of tomatoes will not reveal their potential with a short summer and lack of good support.

Agricultural technology options:

1. In regions with warm summers, tall tomatoes can be planted in the ground - if it is possible to provide strong support (trellis), timely pinching, worthy of top dressing. Only in this way will the most productive varieties of tomatoes be able to reveal their potential.
2. In recent years, semi-determinant tomatoes have become increasingly popular. This is sometimes called determinant varieties and hybrids of medium height (100-130 cm). As a rule, they are universal - they are suitable for both open and closed ground. Simple pegs are suitable for them, moderate pinching is required. The yield is decent.
3. Low-growing tomatoes are less labor-intensive, they are unpretentious. It is advisable to pinch them to the first brush - for earlier ripening, but this procedure is not mandatory. Excessive pinching leads to a decrease in yield. A thickened fit is sometimes used.
4. For very early varieties (low determinants and super determinants), a seedless cultivation method is possible.This does not mean direct sowing into the ground, but the arrangement of at least a minimal greenhouse with heat accumulation.

In 2018, the gardener has the opportunity to test the latest breeding achievements and compare them with old, proven tomato varieties.

Reviews of gardeners: the best varieties for open ground for 2017

Given the climatic conditions of our country, it is difficult to grow such a heat-loving culture as a tomato in the open field. It is much easier to do this using a greenhouse. However, if she is employed under another crop or is simply absent, then under certain conditions, tomatoes can be grown in the open field.

According to the existing opinion, they will be even more useful than greenhouse ones.

The main thing is to choose the right type of tomato so that it is desirable:

• early ripening - early (ultra, - ultra-early) varieties will allow you to grow crops in a relatively short warm season, avoiding possible late spring or early autumn frosts;
• undersized, in extreme cases, medium-sized - in order to better withstand wind loads in an open space, even with relatively weak support.

Let's try to determine which early ripening and undersized tomatoes are most often spoken well on forums and social networks, which varieties are recognized as the sweetest and (or) tastiest.

The sweetest varieties

Many amateurs appreciate the presence of a sweet aftertaste in the taste range of tomatoes. Therefore, varieties that can be conventionally classified as sweet are very popular for cultivation. The following of them received a lot of good reviews from specialists and ordinary gardeners:

• Big Mom is an early, relatively new variety with a fruit weight of up to 300 grams. Typical comments “Excellent taste”, “Sugar pulp resembles a watermelon”, etc .;
• The yellow giant is a medium-sized early variety with delicate pulp and low acid content, its fruits weigh up to 700 grams. “Loved the intense sweet taste” and “Excellent variety” are typical reviews .;
• Leo Tolstoy is a hybrid medium-sized variety with a fruit weight of up to 300 grams. "Very juicy and tasty fruit, the cut even sparkles in the sun" - one of the many positive statements about this variety available on the forum.

They also speak well of sweets and other varieties, such as, for example, Uvalen, Pink honey, Sweet kiss, Sweet tooth, Aphrodite, Valentine, etc.

The most "delicious" varieties of tomatoes

Pink king

It is difficult to give the concept of "taste" unequivocally. Pickles and dark chocolate can be tasty, while sweetened soda can be sugary and disgusting. What combination of components makes a product tasty (in our case tomato) or not tasty is often impossible to determine.

However, such a seemingly subjective opinion about the deliciousness of the product did not prevent consumers from dividing tomato varieties according to this criterion and highlighting the best ones.

More often than others, in 2017-2018, the following varieties of early ripening tomatoes were praised by gardeners:

• Pink king;
• Siberian troika;
• Explosion.

“Excellent taste”, “I planted it on recommendation, I liked the taste very much, I will now plant this variety all the time”, “Juicy and very tasty fruits, I advise everyone to grow it” - such or similar statements were accompanied by reviews of these varieties.

Of course, this list is not limited to "delicious" varieties of early ripening and low tomatoes. Moreover, some will believe that the mentions of dozens of other varieties in this list are undeservedly forgotten. And this is good, it means that there is a wide selection of excellent "tasty" varieties of tomatoes for growing outdoors, even in our not the most favorable climate.
