The best varieties of determinant tomatoes

This page contains the most famous varieties of determinant tomatoes. Among them are varieties of both well-known agricultural firms and private collectors. Early ripening, mid-ripening, with fruits of various shapes, colors and tastes.

Determinant tomatoes differ from indeterminate ones in that they stop growing (grow) after tying a certain number of brushes. These varieties, in turn, are divided into super determinant (usually very early and not requiring pinching) and determinant, some of which still need to be formed by removing excess lateral shoots (stepchildren), otherwise you can get a plant overloaded with fruits, tomatoes on which will ripen later than the due date. That is, the main advantage of determinant tomatoes will be lost - an early and friendly return of the crop.

In determinant varieties, the first flower cluster is laid over 5-7 foxes, and each subsequent one after 1-2 leaves.

Such tomatoes, as a rule, are grown in open ground or film tunnels, since there is no point in occupying greenhouses with them - they will not master the required volume there - the height of determinant tomatoes is usually no more than a meter, and most of them do not exceed 60 cm.

On the seed packages, the tomato is indicated to which type the variety indicated on the package belongs to - determinant or otherwise. Depending on this, further cultivation of the tomato bush is underway.

Determinancy

Inexperienced gardeners, reading the description of the variety, are at a loss to guess what this word stated in the description means.

What does determinant tomatoes mean?

Determination means that the height of the tomato bush will be limited to a certain height.

How is this expressed? Growth restriction occurs by the appearance of a flower brush, on which flowers will first appear, and then the fruits will be tied. Further growth will occur from a strong stepson, which will emerge from the axil of the leaf located just below the brush at the top of the bush.

Determinant tomato variety

Determinant tomatoes are also subdivided into:

• Semi-determinant - includes varieties and hybrids with an intermediate type of branching;
• Superdeterminant - this includes a group of early maturing varieties;
• Super super determinant - this includes super early maturing varieties with dwarf growth.

Indeterminate tomato

This is tall tomatoes, which should be mechanically restricted in growth. Since such a tomato vine grows up to 4 m. In height. But since the warm season is short in our country and the tomatoes above 2 m will not have time to ripen, the top is removed at this height.

This type of tomato bush is suitable for the southern regions of Russia.

Indeterminate tomatoes grow tall

Tomatoes of this type are starting to ripen. already at the end of June.

Standard varieties are used for industrial cultivation, they are unpretentious

Semi-determinant

A tomato bush that does not stop at the meter height mark and continues to grow. But growth can stop at any moment. Grow it in two stems, and is suitable for greenhouse conditions.

Differences between them

Differences and differences between bushes become noticeable at the stage of growing seedlings... In indeterminate ones, the cotyledonous knee is clearly visible on the 4th day after hatching. Later, when growing a bush, the first ovary in indeterminate ones appears above the 9th leaf, and in the determinant ones, after the 5th leaf plate, the first tomato ovary appears.

Seedlings of determinant varieties in the presence of 5 leaf plates begin to form a flower cluster.

Cultivation scheme of a determinate variety

The formation of a tomato bush also differs significantly - indeterminate form in one stem, and determinant varieties 2-3 stems.

Indeterminate types are grown in greenhouses, where they produce crops along the entire height of the stem.

Which varieties are better

It is difficult to say which varieties are better and which ones are worse. Everyone chooses not only for their taste, but also for the region of growth. It is also important where the tomato will grow in the open field or in the greenhouse. Therefore, any type can come in handy when growing a tomato.

On one site different types of tomato can be grown.

The advantages and disadvantages of each of these types

Determinant

pros - early ripening of fruits, high early yields, amicable return of the harvest not extended in time.

Minuses - the total yield is lower, since the bush is limited in its growth, a lot of mineral dressings are needed to obtain a large harvest, pinching should be carried out strictly once every 10 days, reduced immunity to diseases that affect tomatoes.

The total yield of determinant varieties is lower than that of indeterminate varieties.

Indeterminate

pros - a large number of tomatoes are harvested in a small area, they are less susceptible to tomato diseases, fruiting is extended for a long period, tomatoes can be removed in September, it is convenient to harvest, since it is harvested while standing.

Minuses - high supports are needed for a tomato bush, cultivation is going well in southern regions with a long summer period, carefully remove all stepsons, forming a bush in only one trunk.

Stamp

Standard varieties are undersized and do not need a garter

Minuses - practically not, except that frequent watering due to the superficially located root system.

When choosing what type of bush will be planted on the site, it is important to become well acquainted with both the positive and negative qualities of each type.

What types are suitable for growing in a summer cottage

How to distinguish by plants what kind of species it is

Here are examples, disassembled by type of bush and belonging to the variety. Actually, in appearance, it is difficult to distinguish what type the bush belongs to. Since it could be buried before planting or pinched off the shoot. But if the gardener himself acquires the seeds, then the package will indicate the type tomato plant.
