Standard tomatoes are a new and increasingly popular variety of tomatoes. Among their fellows, they also stand out for their compact bush - such a bush does not need to be tied up. Their root system is also compact, which makes it possible to get a good harvest even if the plantings are thickened. Summer residents are paying more and more attention to this species and begin to cultivate it on their plots.

What are standard tomatoes?

Standard varieties are considered to be those varieties of tomatoes that have a thick and stable stem, do not require pinching and look like a miniature tree. Their roots lie close to the surface and are very compact, like the plants themselves. This makes it possible to plant almost twice as many plants on the same area as compared to conventional varieties, and significantly increase the yield.

Standard varieties do not curl and do not need additional supports. However, under the weight of their own fruits, they can lie on the ground. This has no effect on further growth and development. Plants are resistant to weather changes, do not require additional care.

When choosing a variety, it is imperative to take into account the zoning, since these tomatoes grow mainly in open ground and the ripening time for each region must be taken into account.

Benefits of tomatoes

Standard tomatoes are successfully grown even by novice summer residents and gardeners, with practically no experience and practical skills in growing tomatoes. This is not surprising, because the varieties are unpretentious, and in comparison with their usual counterparts, they have significant advantages. These include:

• strong vertical trunk;
• low growth, so that no additional garter and installation of supports are required;
• the roots are close to the surface and absorb nutrients and moisture well;
• the possibility of thickened plantings, which increases the yield from 1 square meter;
• resistance to droughts and cold snaps;
• accelerated ovary formation, as well as fruit ripening;
• there is no need for pinning;
• the formation of a large number of fruits, which ensures excellent productivity;
• tolerate picking and transplanting well;
• fruits are perfectly stored without losing their marketability and taste.

It is thanks to these advantages that standard tomatoes are successfully grown both by summer residents and gardeners, and by farmers at a professional level. Breeders, on the other hand, present to their attention many varieties that differ both in color and shape of the fruit, and in taste.

Thickness of planting and high yield of standard tomatoes

"The Far North" is a very productive variety, up to 17 kg of fruit can be harvested from one square meter of land.

Planting rules for tomatoes of this variety

This type of tomato for seedlings is sown according to the same principle as ordinary ones. There are no particular differences in this procedure. The only thing is that they stretch less and do not bend under the weight of the leaves.

For sowing seeds, a light soil is selected that will allow air to pass through well and not accumulate excess moisture. Previously, it is calcined in a preheated oven for 15 minutes, after cooling it is poured into a prepared container. Next, small grooves are made and the seeds are carefully laid out. At the end, the crops are sprinkled with a layer of soil, covered with glass or polyethylene and placed in a well-lit place. Seedlings are looked after in the same way as for ordinary tomatoes.

Tomatoes in the garden are planted at a distance of 25-35 cm from each other. In the row spacing, a distance of 50-60 cm is made. In order for the bushes to be neat and compact, they do not need to be watered heavily. Also, do not be zealous with fertilizers, in particular with nitrogen fertilizers.

Calcined soil for planting seeds

Features of caring for tomatoes

Standard tomatoes do not require enhanced maintenance. Watering should be done as the top ball of the soil dries up. Their root system is located close to the surface, so it is worth excluding excessive watering. Periodically, you need to loosen the soil so that it is well ventilated and excess moisture can evaporate without problems.

The mainstay of tomato care is weed and pest control. To this end, you need to regularly remove weeds, as well as mulch the soil. It will help retain moisture in hot weather, but it will also prevent weeds from growing. In order to prevent the spread of fungal diseases, it is advisable to carry out treatment with fungicidal preparations. Treatment of plants with Bordeaux mixture has proven itself very effective.

This species practically does not need feeding and fertilizers, especially nitrogen fertilizers. If their number is abundant, then the bush will grow too much, and the green mass will grow more than it should be.

This is fraught with a decrease in yield. If the soil on the site is depleted and does not bear fruit well, then you can use available organic fertilizers.

Gardeners reviews

Many gardeners have already come across personal experience with the cultivation of standard tomatoes. They already have a definite opinion, which they willingly share with colleagues.

Vladimir Vasilievich, pensioner: “I have recently been growing standard tomatoes. A neighbor in the country advised me to try. So far I have found only positive aspects for myself in them. Perfect for preservation, salads. I grow a variety of Buyan with yellow fruits and a Shuttle. "

Anna Georgievna, summer resident: “Standard tomatoes have interested me for a long time. Initially, I grew them on the balcony (Snegirek variety), and then planted them in the country. I chose Antoshka and Buyan for the dacha. The yield is high, the taste of the fruit is simply excellent... The whole family is very happy! "

Victoria Denisovna, summer resident: “I heard praise from neighbors about standard tomatoes and decided to try growing them on my site. I must say, I expected a better result. The selected variety turned out to be insufficiently resistant to diseases, so it was barely possible to harvest the crop. Now I think, is it worth experimenting for the next season ... ".

Larisa Petrovna, summer resident: “My son bought the seedlings of standard tomatoes for me on the advice of the seller. The woman convinced that with minimal care we would still have the harvest. I want to say that she did not deceive. For health reasons, I can no longer pay due attention to the garden, but standard tomatoes still delighted our family with a wonderful harvest.It is a pity that my son did not remember the name of the variety, but now I collect the seeds myself! "

Victor Sergeevich, summer resident: “On TV I saw a program about standard varieties of tomatoes and decided to try growing them on my plot during the summer season. Seedlings of the variety "Shuttle" grew independently. The plot is small, so the plants had to be planted quite densely. Even so, they produced a good harvest. There were no particular troubles with leaving, but all season we ate wonderful tomatoes, and we were also engaged in conservation! ".

Standard tomato varieties have proven themselves very well. They are unpretentious, give good yields, fruits have excellent taste and marketability. Even novice summer residents can grow these plants. That is why now they are preferred not only by amateurs, but also by professionals.

In this case, the second stem is the shoot under the first flower brush. The rest of the shoots are removed. In the non-chernozem zone and in Siberia, plants are pinched over the third inflorescence.

This is a standard bush with a height of 25-35 cm, ripens within 80-85 days from the moment of germination. This variety does not have to be planted in the ground in the form of ready-made seedlings. The best tomato seeds can be sown immediately into the ground. The fruits of the Boni-M variety are small in size, they are very aromatic and tasty. They have a bright red color and a flat-round shape. One fruit usually weighs 65-85 g, but there are specimens up to 220 g.

Standard tomato varieties have a corrugated leaf blade. This feature significantly increases the plant's ability not only for photosynthesis, but also for specific assimilation. Axillary shoots or stepchildren usually appear about two weeks later than hybrids or common varieties. They hardly develop and therefore take up very little nutrients. It is thanks to poorly developed stepchildren that standard tomatoes give high yields, which compares favorably with other varieties.

• all shoots end with inflorescence and fruit formation.

Varieties and hybrids of tomatoes, according to the nature of growth, are divided into indeterminate, determinant and semi-determinant types of plants - bush. In indeterminate (tall) stem growth is not limited, the inflorescence is formed, as a rule, every 3 leaves, and the lateral shoot closest to the inflorescence grows strongly and is a continuation of the main axis. The main stem, however, does not complete its growth. Thus, a powerful bush up to 8 meters high is obtained.Determinant, that is, undersized, varieties and hybrids have a small or medium-sized bush, the main stem ends in an inflorescence, self-limiting in growth. It can have from 2 to 8 inflorescences, which are located through 1 - 2 leaves, some in a row. The height of the stem of determinant tomatoes ranges from 40 to 80 cm, and in standard tomatoes from 30 to 60 cm.

To grow a compact plant, you should limit watering and feeding of standard tomatoes, especially nitrogen fertilizers. Important activities are pinching the tomato bush and removing its lower leaves, which are carried out during the growing season of standard tomatoes. Removing stepchildren from vegetables ensures that all the nutrients are retained in the plant. After reaching a height of 15 - 20 cm, you can start removing leaves from the central stem.

Standard tomatoes are unpretentious to growing conditions and are distinguished by good survival rate, which is why they are very popular with many summer residents. Due to the fact that their seedlings grow small in size and do not bend under the weight of the leaves, they can be successfully grown even at home and on balconies in ordinary flower pots. By the time of transplanting into the ground, young seedlings of vegetables stand out for their powerful root system and a good strong stem.

In recent years, more and more often in the gardens of summer residents, you can find undersized varieties of tomatoes - standard ones, because they bear fruit well in any conditions and do not require special care. Standard tomatoes allow you to harvest a good harvest of vegetables, even when growing tomatoes in the open field.

General rules for pinning:

They themselves stop growing, they branch weakly, most often they are undersized. They are usually grown in one stem. If all stepchildren are immediately removed from such a plant, it will stop growing and the yield will be small. Try to do it differently: leave a shoot (stepson) from the axil of the leaf located under one of the upper inflorescences. Then the growth will continue. This stepson can be removed, and a new one can be left to replace him, closer to the top, and so on. In hot summers, determinate tomatoes can be grown in two or three stems.

But the greatest demand among gardeners is for ultra-early ripening tomatoes and their hybrids. The fact is that such varieties can be grown without seedlings, even in those regions where the summer is cold and short. But it is necessary to sow the selected best tomato seeds at the very beginning of May, under cover and on insulated soil. For this, varieties are suitable in which the weight of the fruit does not exceed 100-150 g, and the height of the plant trunk is about 50 cm. Such tomatoes are usually not subjected to pinching, and you can take your seeds from them. These include Tomatoes Buyan, Sunny Bunny, Flash, Duckling, Pink souvenir.
