Varieties of varieties

Breeders classify all tomato varieties into two categories, which include:

Surprisingly, among the indeterminate varieties, the most popular and demanded seeds are distinguished. "Budenovka"... This variety is good in all its main characteristics: up to one and a half meters high, the first harvest 100 days after the seed germination, the ability to grow both in a greenhouse and in the open field.

This variety also does not require any additional maintenance and is great for beginner gardeners. From one bush, you can harvest at least 4-5 kg, and if you create favorable climatic conditions - all 7 kg.

Choosing a variety of tomatoes

Many novice summer residents make the main mistake in choosing a tomato variety, relying on the "honesty" of sellers of specialized stores. It often happens that, having acquiredhigh-yielding seeds according to the assurances of sellers, after planting the promised growth is not observed.

What is the reason for this? It's all about zoning. Remember that each variety of tomatoes is suitable for planting only in certain climatic conditions, which must correspond to the region. If the selected variety is not zoned for your place of residence, then it is pointless to wait for a high and fruitful harvest.

Before going to a specialty store, be sure to find out which varieties are suitable for landing in your area. Otherwise, suitable conditions will have to be created for an excellent harvest.

The most productive seeds of tomatoes of Siberian selection

Siberia is a rather peculiar and somewhat "cruel" region in relation to fruitful crops. Here you should be careful about the choice of seeds, since the slightest mistakes as a result will leave you completely without harvest and salting for the winter.

It should also be noted that Siberian selection is one of the most popular seeds, because their frost resistance and other positive characteristics make it possible to use them for planting in any region of Russia.

In addition, varieties related to Siberian selection have a huge selection, which is also divided into groups depending on the growth of the bushes and fertility, planting time and characteristics of independent cultivation. So, today the following collections of Siberian selection are distinguished:

• "Seeds of Altai";
• Siberian Garden;
• "Sibiriada".

Each collection has up to several dozen varieties, the fruits of which differ in size, weight, color and other features.Characteristics and description of the variety affect both the choice and the result.

Early varieties of tomatoes

Of course, early varieties of tomatoes are popular in the Siberian region, including:

1."Ultra-ripe" - the variety is to the taste of hostesses, since the small-sized fruits of these seeds are ideal for canning. The average weight of one tomato is only 100 g, and the harvest can be expected within a month and a half after the first entries of the seedlings.

The bush itself reaches a maximum maximum of 50 cm in height, therefore it is suitable both for planting in a small greenhouse and under open ground. These seeds belong to the Siberian Garden collection.

2."Demidov" - the small height of the bush (only 50 cm) and the weight of one tomato of 200 g makes these seeds popular in cultivation for further use of the fruits in the preparation of salads. Has a slightly sweet taste.

3.The same characteristics from the selection "Siberian Garden" include seeds "Nastenka". The fruits of the presented variety reach 300 g in weight, which makes them popular in growing as the production of various tomato pastes and other preservation. The hostesses from "Demidov" and "Nastenka" are simply delighted.

4."Heavyweight of Siberia" - large fruit sizes and taste are more suitable for preservation. This variety withstands all weather conditions and is intended for outdoor cultivation. Does not need pinning.

5."Abakan pink" - a unique and slightly unusual variety. It differs from other varieties in fruit weight of 900 g.

6. Also, early varieties of tomatoes from Siberian selection include seeds such as"Ballerina", "Petrusha the gardener", "Moscow pear" and other varieties.

What varieties to plant in the greenhouse

Despite the purpose of planting some seeds in any weather conditions, novice summer residents are still interested in the question:which tomatoes are better for planting in a greenhouse? For most gardeners, it is the greenhouse that becomes the equipment that allows them to grow tomatoes in the beds almost all year round.

This refers more to Siberian selection, but with planting in temperate or warm regions. Directly in Siberia, year-round cultivation of tomatoes in greenhouses is impossible due to the harsh climatic conditions.

For cultivation in greenhouses, they allocatethe best varieties of tomatoes such as:

Undersized tomatoes for open ground without pinching

If we talk about caring for tomatoes in the process of their growth, it should be noted the prerequisite for pinching. But the gardeners themselves argue that when growing in the south of Russia, removing leaves from a bush is not required, but as you move to the North, leaving becomes more and more difficult.

But there are seeds that do not require pinching in principle. Even without removing leaves, they grow fruitfully and without blemishes, and in any climatic conditions.

To undersized varieties of tomatoes without pinching include:

Stepping- an important process in the whole agricultural technology of growing tomatoes, so more attention should be paid to it. The main thing is to correctly remove the "extra" leaves.

Despite the fact that growing tomato varieties without pinching is much easier, gardeners still prefer the opposite type of seed. So, the variety is very popular throughout Russia "Bull heart".

The popularity of this variety is explained by its large fruits and "universal" taste, which makes it possible to use tomatoes both for fresh consumption and for pickling. Growing is allowed in any region of the country, it requires compulsory pinching.

The best low-growing varieties of tomatoes for open ground

Novice gardeners who do not want to tinker with growing tomatoes for a long time and painstakingly may prefer low-growing varieties of tomatoes. Due to the small growth of the bush, which often does not exceed 60 cm, there is no need to waste time tying.

The best and most popular low-growing seeds include:

Low-growing varieties of tomatoes for gardeners can become a "ticket" to the world of self-growing tomatoes, since they do not require any garter or pinching.

The best tomato varieties for the Northwest

The North-West of Russia is somewhat harsh and insidious, so here the cultivation of tomatoes is carried out in closed ground, which requires planting of a certain kind of varieties. The best include:

1. "Hermitage" - early fruiting and the maximum height of the bush is 1 m, fruits weighing 120 g and round in shape, there is a requirement for pinching;
2. "Native" - an ultra-early variety, a sprawling bush with rounded tomatoes and weighing 160 g;
3. "Igranda" - a determinant variety with complex inflorescences, easily tolerates almost any frost, fruits up to 120 g;
4. "Chanterelle" - pleases with fruits three months after the first shoots, bushes with a maximum height of 1 m, fruits no more than 150 g.

The principle of growing tomato varieties for the North-West region is to achieve conditions for fast fruiting, since otherwise, due to the onset of frost, you can be left without a crop at all. In connection with the above fact, gardeners use greenhouses and greenhouses for independent and fruitful cultivation.

Tomato seeds from collectors

New varieties of tomatoesalways cause a lot of controversy about growing, proper planting and care. Taking advantage of new seeds, it is better to heed the advice of the producers themselves.

Relatively new varieties include the following varieties:

1. Rapunzel - it is extremely difficult to find information about the presented variety, however, like the seeds themselves. This is due to the breeding of the variety in Holland in 2015, therefore, the spread of seeds has not yet occurred in Russia.

Why Rapunzel? The shape of the fruit brushes is similar to the oblique cartoon character. Bunches of tomatoes hang from the bush to the very lowlands and can exceed 50 cm in length.

2. "Mongolian dwarf" - the variety is also quite controversial. According to gardeners' reviews, the growth of the bush varies from 10 to 50 cm.

Each bush pleases gardeners with whole clusters of medium-sized tomatoes. Despite the fact that these seeds gained popularity among gardeners, this bred specimen was never entered into the State Register.

Pay attention to this material - Growing cucumbers on a windowsill in winter.

3. "Octopus" - that's really really a miracle of nature! This variety is perennial, so the first fruits can only be expected after 7-8 months. It is distinguished by its spreading crown and the formation of shoots, which branch out during the growth process.

Tomato varieties and hybrids are so diverse that even an experienced vegetable grower sometimes finds it difficult to choose. Of course, everyone has their own priorities - someone loves large and fleshy tomatoes, someone prefers small but sweet ones, and someone is forced to select a variety taking into account the climate of their region. But in any case, every gardener tries to choose the most productive varieties of tomatoes for the garden, which also have excellent taste.

How to choose a variety

When choosing a tomato variety, it is necessary to take into account many factors that affect the yield of a vegetable crop. Firstly, you need to decide in advance on the place where vegetables will be planted, and purchase seeds, taking into account the growing conditions. The process of growing tomatoes in open and protected soil has significant differences - even the highest-yielding varieties of tomatoes for beds will not give high-quality fruits when planted in a greenhouse. Conversely, greenhouse varieties will not give the expected yield when grown in the garden.

When purchasing tomato seeds, you should take into account the taste properties of each specific variety. Some tomatoes express their taste better immediately after removal from the bush, others reveal it after salting or preservation, and some are very tasty in an unripe form, while when ripe they have a very ordinary and primitive taste.

It is also important to decide on the question - what tomatoes will be grown for what? If for salting, then you should give preference to medium-sized fruits with sweet dense pulp. If for conservation, then it is better to choose small fruits with a dense, non-bursting skin. The choice of salad varieties is endless - these are tomatoes of various shapes, colors and tastes. They are not suitable for blanks, but they have a very fleshy structure and excellent taste.

The yield also depends to some extent on the shape and size of the bush. Low-growing varieties are less demanding to care for, but fewer fruits grow on them. It is possible to increase the yield of such species only due to the large number of beds. Tall varieties need tying and installation of supports, but a higher yield can be learned from them. In addition, tall plants save space.

When choosing fruitful varieties of tomatoes for open ground, it will be useful to take into account the period of their ripening. If you want to have fresh homemade tomatoes on the table from early spring to winter, you will have to plant many different varieties with different ripening periods. Well, the most important factor affecting yield is climate adaptability. It is important to understand which varieties of tomatoes can grow in a particular climate. So intended for the southern regions, it is very difficult to grow in the northern latitudes - at best, the yield will be minimal, and at worst, the plants will not be able to develop due to the cold, and the yield will be zero. Therefore, for the northern regions it is better to choose Siberian tomatoes, bred specifically for cold climates.

The best tomatoes

Tomatoes can be classified according to different parameters:

By yield

High-yielding varieties of tomatoes are those from which you can collect 5 or more kilograms of vegetables from one square meter of planting. It should be said that many recently bred Dutch varieties, as well as similar domestic breeding, are capable of producing up to 20 kg per 1 m of planting, but these hybrids are grown mainly in greenhouses for commercial purposes. For a high yield tomato from open ground, it is better to plant varieties designed specifically for these conditions:

• Waterfall - a tall tomato of early ripening with dense oblong fruits of a bright orange color, with proper care, it can yield a yield of 6-8 kg;

• Anastasia is a tall (100-130 cm) mid-season variety with bright red, sometimes burgundy fruits of medium size (170-200 g), when the necessary conditions are created, up to 12 kg of the crop can be harvested;
• Raspberry giant is an early variety with very large (up to 500 g) pink fruits, due to which high yields are obtained, resistant to diseases and pests;
• Nastena F1 is an early ripe tall (120-150 cm) hybrid with large (up to 300 g) red fleshy fruits, tolerates low temperatures and high humidity, is resistant to diseases, very high-yielding - 16-18 kg per 1 meter of planting;
• Diabolic - compact and fairly tall bushes (100-120 cm) with red oblong fruits weighing (120-140 g), tomatoes are perfectly transported, suitable for harvesting, not susceptible to diseases, when grown for industrial purposes yield a yield of 400-600 centners per hectare of area.

Experienced vegetable growers admit that extremely productive tomato varieties do not have high taste and aroma. This is due to the fact that all the forces of such plants are aimed at the formation of multiple fruits, and not at the concentration of sugars and nutrient fibers.

By type of bush

According to the height of the bush, tomatoes are divided into:

• determinant (undersized) - their height is 50-100 cm, they do not need to remove excess shoots and tie up;

• and indeterminate (tall) - bushes of such tomatoes can grow up to 2 meters, often require the installation of supports and correction of the bush, in turn are subdivided into standard species (with strong compact bushes) and non-standard (with thin stems prone to lodging and needing in supports);

• there are also medium-sized tomatoes, the height of which varies in the range of 80-110 cm.

The most productive and undersized varieties:

• Sanka is an ultra-early hybrid variety with compact bushes (30-40 cm) and round red fruits;

• Rio Grande - a high-yielding tomato with powerful bushes up to 60 cm high, fruits are even, elongated, medium-sized (100-120 g), universal - suitable for canning and processing;

• Bagheera F1 is an early undersized hybrid with large (180-220 g) fruits suitable for any processing and transportation.

Among the tomatoes of an average ripening period, one can distinguish the high-yielding tomato "Volgogradskiy 5/95". This is a standard plant 70-120 cm high with smooth red fruits weighing 80-150 g. Fruits are well transported and stored for a long time. Of the tall, fruitful tomatoes, the following can be distinguished:

• De Barao - this variety has many hybrids that differ in shape and color, but this tomato variety unites the invariable sweet taste of fleshy fruits, reaching a weight of 300-400 g, in which there are practically no seeds;

• Tarasenko 2 is a hybrid of late ripening, stems are high (up to 2 m) with multiple clusters, on which there are many small (30-40 g) fruits with a total weight of up to 3 kg.

Many vegetable growers prefer standard types of tomatoes, since they do not need tying and are less demanding to care for.

To size

By the size of the fruit, tomatoes are divided into large (300-400 g), very large (up to 700-1000 g), medium, small, and very small - "cherry". Large-fruited varieties are:

• Miracle of the Earth - the fruits are elongated, heart-shaped, reaching a weight of 400-500 g, have a dense sweetish pulp;

• Andreevsky surprise - tall (up to 2 m) salad variety with very large (400-700 g) fruits, tomato color - raspberry, pulp is fleshy and juicy, seeds are practically absent;

• Bovine heart - a tomato of the middle ripening period with very large (400-600 g) fruits with dense sweetish pulp;

• Raspberry giant - fruits are large (600-800 g), flattened, with tender pulp, seeds are almost absent.

Small varieties include the following:

• Wonder of the world - small fruits resembling lemon in shape and color, the mass of tomatoes is 50-100 g, up to 50 pieces can be collected from one bush;

• Black Moor is a mid-season hybrid with small brownish fruits weighing 30-50 g, suitable for conservation;

• Tarasenko 2 - tall bushes with heavy clusters, each of which ripens more than 35 small (50-60 g) fruits.

Ornamental varieties of miniature tomatoes, known to us as "cherry", have high taste properties. These tomatoes are successfully grown both in the garden and in pots on the balconies. Among the most popular are: Noon, Green Pearl, Lemon (yellow), Amber, Honey Drop.

By sustainability

When it comes to the resilience of the tomato, most often it is not disease that is meant, but endurance in low temperatures. What kind of tomatoes can be grown in cold climates - this question is of most interest to residents of the northern regions. For such regions, you should choose varieties of Siberian selection, the seeds of which are adapted to these conditions.

The following varieties of tomatoes are hardy:

• The shuttle is a frost-resistant variety of Siberian selection, it is not afraid of pests, diseases and transportation, ripens in 80-100 days, the fruits are small (up to 60 g);

• Bakery plants - large-fruited (300-500 g) tomato, low bush - up to 80 cm, resistant to temperature changes;

• Destructive force - a high-yielding hybrid of Siberian selection, medium fruits (up to 150 g), unpretentious in care, even at low temperatures yields 5-6 kg;

• Triumphant - mid-season standard grade of Siberian selection, undersized bushes (40-50 cm), small fruits - up to 100g;

• The Snow Tale is a unique hybrid of Siberian selection, the bush of which is literally covered with small fruits, and the stems do not need to be tied up.

There are also several varieties that Ukraine has bred, but these seeds are also adapted to the conditions of the north or middle zone: Priusadebny, Gospodar, Sonyachne Kolo and others.

By the duration of ripening

According to the ripening period, tomatoes are early-ripening, mid-ripening and late-ripening, but recently many hybrids have been bred, which are called "early".Tomato varieties are called early maturing, the ripening period of which is up to 100 days. These include: Dubok, White filling, Alpha, Amur shtamb, Valentina, Don Juan - the ripening period of these varieties is 95-98 days.

Mid-season tomatoes are those that reach their full maturity in 105-115 days: Pink Elephant, Hybrid 35, Volgograd, Gigant 5, Akulina, Tsarevna and many others. It should be said that most tomatoes are mid-season, and when choosing seeds, gardeners often come across just such varieties. Tomatoes are considered late ripening, for which ripening takes from 117 to 130 days. These include: De Barao, Wonder of the World, Titanium, Brown Sugar and others. Late types of tomatoes are not very popular, but unlike early ones, they are stored longer.

The most popular varieties are the early ones, the ripening period of which is sometimes limited to 70 days. The seeds of these tomatoes are adapted to low temperatures and tolerate even slight frosts very well. These include: Sanka, Far North, Little Red Riding Hood, Nevsky and many others.

By storage time

Only certain varieties of tomatoes can survive for a long time, in which there is a special gene that inhibits the ripening of fruits. As a rule, these are late-ripening hybrids, bred specifically for the purpose of preservation. These tomatoes are harvested at the initial stage of ripeness (when they are just starting to turn brown), and their full maturity occurs later at a temperature of 18 ° C.

These hybrids are:

• Radical, Lazar, Dominator - the fruits of these varieties are stored for more than 1 month;

• Khutorskoy pickling, Giraffe - fruits are stored for up to 4 months;

• Long Keeper, Lezhebok, New Year's - perfectly retain their taste until the New Year.

It is fair to say that long-stored hybrids have a fairly dense skin and not very pronounced taste and aroma, since their ripening occurs under artificial conditions. But, in spite of everything, this is the only way to get fresh homemade tomatoes in winter.
