The best varieties of sugar tomatoes

Many gardeners want to grow tomatoes in which the sweet taste predominates. Of course, this feeling is very subjective. For a resident of Siberia and Central Asia, it will be different, but the concept of "sweet varieties of tomatoes" still exists.

Tomatoes are naturally sweet and sour berries. It is the balance of organic acids and sugars that ensures their originality. In addition, sweetness is more pronounced in fruits with a high dry matter content than in watery ones.

Culinary application

The sourness is also pleasant. It is appropriate in various spices - ketchup, adjika, gorloder (horseradish), assorted salad preparations, as well as in tomato paste. Sour vegetables are suitable for pizza, Italian pasta sauce (pasta), tomato soup, cabbage soup, pickle. However, not all people for health reasons can consume such products.

The sweetest, sugary fruits are healthy and tasty in their natural form, in fresh salads. It is from them that the highest quality tomato juice is obtained. They are also excellent with whole-fruited barrel salting according to old recipes - without vinegar, by fermentation.

Fleshy tomatoes are pickled in wedges in gelatin. In recent years, recipes for canning small-fruited varieties (cocktail and cherry) with a special fruit and berry aftertaste have become especially popular. Cherries are also suitable for drying and drying in the oven, electric dryer: a product similar to raisins is obtained.

Sugar content of tomatoes

Taste consists of three main indicators:

• varietal characteristics;
• weather conditions;
• agricultural technology.

Varietal features

The ability to accumulate sugary substances is laid down at the genetic level. Some varieties are more prone to this than others.

When choosing an assortment for planting, you need to pay attention to such a potential indicator.

Weather

Why can even sweet varieties grow sour? This is due to the peculiarities of the development of the tomato plant. The culture comes from tropical America, and for the accumulation of sugars in the fruits, it needs a lot of solar energy and a special water regime.

Tomatoes are always sweeter:

• in a sunny, warm summer - than cloudy, rainy and cool;
• ripened in the ground - than ripe in the greenhouse;
• ripe - than those matured in the bed.

Sometimes a person is simply not able to influence some natural factors. But the situation can be partially corrected by good plant care.

Agricultural technology of sweet varieties of tomatoes

The owner is able to create the most comfortable conditions for the development of high-quality fruits.

1. Sour soil is preliminarily deacidified, otherwise food is not absorbed. An excess of alkali is also harmful.
2. Tomatoes need a whole range of substances - filling the soil, holes, feeding 2-3 times a month (root and foliar). Nitrogen (better organic) in moderation, potassium and necessarily phosphorus, additionally - boron, magnesium. It is BOR that increases the sugar content of tomatoes.
3. Metabolism is disrupted due to the greenhouse heat; it is necessary to establish ventilation.
4. With a cold snap, the roots absorb worse; help out foliar dressing.
5. Plants need to get plenty of sunlight.
6. Watering should be moderate. Mulching is desirable.
7. Bushes spend energy on extra shoots, pest and disease control. It is necessary to establish regular pinching, to carry out prophylaxis against pathogens.

If possible, let the vegetables ripen on the vine. When dozing in a lying place, tomatoes often remain with green seeds and pale pulp, and their taste is poor.

Assortment of sweet tomatoes

The problematic issue of hybrids

It is more difficult to grow sweet tomatoes in a greenhouse than in a garden bed. This is due to the fact that many meaty and sugary non-hybrid varieties are susceptible to fungal infections, especially harmful in greenhouses.

In recent years, breeders have been working on creating universal hybrid varieties - so that they are disease resistant, but tasty, not "rubbery".

Modern varieties of tomatoes for a 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 return. 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. 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 tip.
• 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 start 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. The selection is also carried out to increase yields, uniformity of fruits, and improve taste.

• Alexander the Great F1
• Accordion
• High society F1
• F1 wrist stroke
• Baba
• Clear Falcon F1

Review of the best varieties of tomatoes 2017-2018

In the taste of sweet tomatoes, there is a genetically inherent predominance of sugars over acidic components.

The sweetest varieties of tomatoes - an overview on our portal.

Unfortunately, such varieties are rarely early maturing, dormant, and disease-resistant. Vegetable growers note that simple varieties are the tastiest, most tender and more sugar-rich than hybrids. The efforts of breeders are aimed at improving the taste for hybrid forms that are more resistant to diseases.

Bombay F1

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 facilitate the choice, 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 assessment 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 for the appearance of their skin - green, orange, pink, red and purple.

Sweet tomatoes are most commonly grown for fresh consumption. The fruits of these varieties contain a lot of sugars, little acid, which makes them very juicy and sweet. Sometimes there may be a berry or honey flavor. The best sweet varieties of tomatoes for growing in greenhouses and open field will be described below in the article.
