Only adapted to the conditions of the northern regions. Tomatoes of Dutch selection, but then they were acclimatized in the Volga region and soon began to spread even in Siberia. The weight of one fruit is 450 grams, sometimes more, the skin is hard, the pulp is dense, well transported, and lasts for a long time. The bush is 140 cm high, no pinching is required, the stems are strong, grows without a garter. It grows well in a humid environment, the fungus will not attack.

Techniques for growing tomato seedlings, feeding and caring for it

... You cannot consider the best tomatoes for open ground and not mention from this hybrid, which over 25 years of existence on the Russian market has become a bestseller, like the variety

Tomato seed preparation

The third feeding is carried out 3-4 days before the selection of seedlings (for 10 liters of water - 10 g of ammonium nitrate, 40 g of superphosphate, 60 g of potassium chloride. It should be borne in mind that superphosphate is very poorly soluble, therefore 2-3 days before feeding make an extract from it, that is, dissolve it separately.

Then the hardened seeds are sown in prepared boxes with sod-humus soil. After sowing, the box is placed in a warm room with a temperature of 22-25 degrees. With the advent of mass shoots, boxes with plants must be taken out to a bright room (greenhouse, greenhouse, balcony, put on a window facing south), the night temperature must be reduced to 6-10 degrees, and the daytime temperature must be maintained at 18-20 degrees.

In this regard, an original method of growing tomato seedlings on a sawdust substrate was proposed, which is devoid of the above disadvantages. The technology of the method of growing tomatoes on sawdust is simple. Here is her description.

If you plan to plant seedlings on May 7-9, then 55-60 days should be counted back from this date according to the calendar. 55-60 days is the age of the seedlings producing buds. And we also add 5 days - this is how long it takes for the seedlings to emerge from the ground. We get the date March 3-8.It means that during this period of time it is necessary to sow seeds. And if you live in the south and want to plant seedlings, for example, in open ground on April 20-25, then counting back 60-65 days we get the dates - February 19-24.

At present, it is impossible to imagine our table without such a delicious vegetable as a tomato (which, in fact, is a berry), although it appeared in Russia not so long ago - during the reign of Catherine the Great. Mass cultivation of tomatoes began only in the 19th century. People knew about the existence of tomatoes for a long time, but they were afraid to eat them, as they noticed that if livestock were fed with the tops of this plant, they could die. In addition, caterpillars and other pests do not eat tomato foliage.

If during feeding the solution gets on the leaves, it must be washed off the leaves with clean water. When growing tomato seedlings under a film, as a rule, the air humidity is higher than under glass, so more attention should be paid to carrying out preventive treatments against diseases, and more often airing.

This mode is maintained for 2 weeks, that is, until the first true sheet appears. It is necessary that the plants receive a lot of light. The temperature-light hardening of the seedlings takes place.

Method of increasing and maintaining the temperature under the film

In the seedling greenhouse, greenhouse, tunnel shelters, wood sawdust with a layer of 6-8 cm is poured onto the leveled surface of the nutrient soil, pre-fermented and filled with full mineral fertilizer. Fermentation is necessary for fresh coniferous sawdust containing resinous substances that adversely affect tomato seedlings, and other plants as well. During fermentation, the sawdust is moistened with a 2% solution of ammonium nitrate, kept moist for 10-12 days until the resinous odor disappears. Old, stale sawdust does not require fermentation.

For the central zone of the Krasnodar Territory, the best time for sowing tomato seeds for growing seedlings is the first decade of February. For the northern, northeastern regions - 10-15 days later, that is, mid-February-early March. After sowing, boxes, cassettes with sown tomato seeds are installed in a room with a temperature of 22-25 degrees. As soon as single shoots have appeared, the boxes are taken out into a cool, bright room (glazed balcony, veranda, the best-lit window) with a temperature of 8-12 degrees. A decrease in temperature during the period of emergence prevents the pulling out of tomato seedlings.

The "edible" qualities of tomatoes were discovered quite by accident by a fugitive Indian pursued by the Dutch during the conquest of America. He did not want to be taken back into captivity, he did not have a horse, and without it he could not escape, so he decided to commit suicide with the help of the fruits of a tomato plant that caught his eye. In front of the pursuers, he ate all the fruits from the bush and began to wait for death, which still did not come ... He was again taken prisoner, but never died. It was then that the invaders decided to try these fruits themselves, which the locals called "tomato". After that, it took a long time before it turned out that tomatoes are poisonous only in green form, and foliage and tops are deadly constantly, since they contain lycoalkaloids that cause poisoning. In ripe fruits (and when green ones are preserved), these substances decompose.

Large-fruited and high-yielding variety.The bush grows up to 90 centimeters in height, slightly spreading. Tomatoes grow on average up to 150 grams, sometimes they reach 220-250 g, especially if the load on the bush was small, up to two dozen fruits. The average yield is 450 centner, sometimes you can get more if you use drip irrigation.

Remember that large fruits do not always mean high yields. As a rule, these are more decorative vegetables for home and summer cottages that have no industrial value. If you seriously decide to engage in vegetable growing, then it would be best for you to choose a hybrid that gives up to 12-20 kg per square meter.

... Its predecessor was the tomato variety

Seedlings "in a film-diaper"

To prevent the seedlings from pulling out if it is impossible to plant them in the ground in time due to unfavorable weather conditions (rain, snow, late cold spring, etc.), in the phase of 4-5 leaves, they are treated with 0.1-0.2% solution of the drug TUR (chlorocholine chloride) - 10 g per 10 l of water, or 0.07% hydrol solution - 7 g per 10 l of water, any plant growth regulator, for example, Athlet, HB-101, Epin Extra. If necessary, spraying can be repeated after a week.

Two weeks after germination, the temperature at night is increased to 10-16 degrees until the plants form a second true leaf, that is, it is ready for picking.

Before laying on the ground, every 100 kg of sawdust is filled with fertilizers: 250-300 g of superphosphate, 180-200 g of ammonium nitrate, 150-200 g of potassium salt or 500-600 g of wood ash (preferably ash from burning stems, sunflower baskets), which replaces potash fertilizers, at the same time neutralizes the acidic reaction of sawdust. It is better to apply nitrogen fertilizers in liquid form, since it is difficult to mix them evenly with sawdust.

After the emergence of seedlings, the temperature regime should be as follows: in the daytime in sunny weather - 18-20 degrees, when it is cloudy - 16-18, at night - 8-10 degrees. You should not get carried away with watering. Tomatoes do not tolerate waterlogging of the soil. Tomato seedlings are rarely watered, before you see that the plants are about to start withering. The water temperature is 25-28 degrees.

Initially in Russia, tomatoes were grown in greenhouses, as they did not have time to ripen outdoors. Currently, there are a wide variety of varieties of tomatoes for open ground and for greenhouses, with individual characteristics and differing in the period of fruit ripening and yield. In different countries and even different regions of the same country, for example, Russia, different varieties of tomatoes are popular. So in the Krasnodar Territory, various varieties of tomatoes for open ground, such as Dubok, Corsair and Lion's Heart, can be successfully grown. And in the Urals, in greenhouses, tomato varieties for greenhouses will best take root - Typhoon, Hurricane, Semko-Sindbad, Druzhok and Blagovest. Recently, Dutch tomato varieties have become increasingly popular due to their early maturity and resistance to environmental conditions.

Hardening method for growing tomato seedlings

Tomatoes spoil in the bud, and if they ripen, they are poorly stored, not suitable for canning.

Stuffiness.

It is considered one of the highest-yielding hybrids growing in Russia, but besides the fact that it produces 60-70 tons per hectare, it is also extremely resistant to fungal diseases of all types. Does not undergo fusarium wilting, responds well to temperature changes. The ripening period is 120 days, and the last few weeks can withstand even in frost. Fruit weight does not exceed 140 grams, yield 25 tons per hectare, bush 120 centimeters high, pinching is necessary.

The taste qualities of hybrids often leave much to be desired, since the content of sugar and ascorbic acid in them is minimal.Note that a fragrant smell is also not to be expected from extremely yielding varieties, since all their forces are focused on obtaining a certain tonnage.

Today there is high competition in the field of vegetable growing, so the business must be extremely profitable. Dutch tomato varieties and some Russian analogues are capable of producing up to 20 kg per square meter, thereby significantly increasing the profitability of vegetable growing. The fruits are small in size, but there are many of them, due to this, a high yield is obtained. We bring to your attention the "brightest" representatives of this category and description.

Tolstoy,

To prevent diseases of fungal and bacterial diseases, tomato seedlings are sprayed with a 1% solution of Bordeaux liquid with the addition of 2 g of potassium permanganate (potassium permanganate) per 10 liters of solution or any copper-containing preparation, for example, Oksikhom, Tsineb before planting in open ground or a greenhouse ... For better fertilization of flowers, it is also useful to add 1-2 g of boric acid there.

Then the tomato seedlings are dived into the soil of the greenhouse, greenhouse, tunnel shelter according to the 7x7, 8x8 cm scheme, covering it up to the very cotyledonous leaves, watered with warm water, shaded from the sun. After diving, especially after diving under a film cover, mulching of row spacings with humus, peat with the addition of Maxim, TMTD (tetramethylthiuram disulfide) fungicides, or other fungicides-dressing agents for disinfecting seeds or agricultural plants is carried out. crops, or 3-5% wood ash, lime, which increases the resistance of tomato seedlings to black leg damage and other diseases.

Then, on the leveled layer of sawdust, a soil nutrient mixture is evenly poured with a layer of 4-5 cm, consisting of turf and humus, a ratio of 1: 1. In this layer of soil, sowing of tomato seeds or picking of 20-25-day-old tomato seedlings is carried out. The soil poured on top of sawdust, as a result of biological combustion, is 1-2 degrees warmer than soil without sawdust.

In the second decade of March, it is necessary to start preparing a place for a dive. For this purpose, the brightest place is chosen, protected from the north, northeast by buildings, trees from cold winds. A trench is dug with a depth of 18-20 cm (on a shovel bayonet) 70-90 cm wide or along the width of the film, which will be used to cover the seedlings. The bottom of the trench is covered with a 10-12 cm thick heat-insulating layer for isolation from cold soil. Straw, sawdust, old leaves, and other waste is an excellent material for thermal insulation. A nutritious soil is poured on top, the same as was used for growing seedlings. In its absence, you can use the soil removed when digging a trench.

In most countries of Western Europe, the so-called "cluster" varieties of tomatoes are very popular, the ripe fruits of which are conveniently collected with a whole brush. These include varieties F1 Fatalist, F1 Pharaoh, F1 Fanat, etc. These varieties are characterized by bright red, smooth, shiny, flat-round fruits of high quality, with an average weight of 100 to 200 grams. A rather characteristic feature of the fruits of these hybrids is their increased resistance to cracking, they can withstand long-term transportation and are perfectly stored at room temperature. Ripe tomato clusters are very dense and have fruits of the same size, which are practically not affected by common tomato diseases.

Top dressing of tomato seedlings, caring for it

The most resistant to fruit cracking are F, hybrids:

Not only in greenhouses, but also in an open pound, the leaves on the bushes curled like a boat, the fruits were struck by the top rot,

These were "extreme varieties" that can survive in almost any conditions. They ideally combine yield, weight of fruit, as well as resistance to various kinds of pests and diseases. That is why they are in great demand.

If you grow for sale and subsequent sale, then this group of vegetables will be optimal for you. In case you want to get tasty, aromatic vegetables on your table, it would be better to give preference to ordinary Russian varieties that have a lot of vitamin C and sucrose.

Tomato

Which is known to all summer residents for at least 20 years. The average weight of fruits is 230 grams, which is a good indicator. Besides the large size, the tomato

The day before sampling, tomato seedlings are watered abundantly, when sampling they are sorted, underdeveloped, diseased plants are discarded. The root system is dipped in a solution of Heteroauxin, Kornevin.

After the pick, when the seedlings take root, the temperature must be maintained during the day in cloudy weather 18-20 degrees, in sunny weather - 22-25 degrees, and at night - 10-12 degrees. When the seedlings have 3-4 true leaves, they are again hardened with low positive temperatures: at night - 8-10 degrees, during the day - 18-20 degrees for 2-2.5 weeks. After that, the temperature is maintained at night - 14-16, in the daytime 20-22 degrees.

The best varieties of tomatoes for open ground are the most delicious and & # 141; large-fruited

The largest-fruited varieties and their detailed characteristics

Initially, the plants develop due to the nutrients contained in the bulk soil, and then the root system penetrates into the fertilized layer of sawdust and develops there freely. Tomato seedlings, ready for planting, when selected from a greenhouse or greenhouse, almost do not lose their root system. Therefore, it is almost not inferior to that grown in pots or peat tablets, and even surpasses it in terms of yield in the early stages. Experience has shown that seedlings grown on sawdust on July 10 gave a harvest of ripe fruits 1.7 times more than on ordinary soil.

1. In order for the ground to warm up, it is covered with a film 5-7 days before the pick. For this purpose, 60-70 cm apart from each other, arcs of 6-8 mm wire, willow rods are installed. After the soil warms up well, planting tomato seedlings, which have one or two true leaves.The key to a bountiful harvest is the correct selection of tomato varieties for open ground, as well as the condition of the soil in which they will be planted. If the soil has high acidity, it can be lowered by adding chalk, lime or ash, and do not forget about mineral fertilizers. It is necessary to transplant seedlings to a permanent place when it reaches a height of 15 cm, in addition, two weeks before transplanting the plants, they must be hardened. All varieties of tomatoes for open ground are planted in a garden bed one plant at a time in a hole, the depth of which is equal to the depth of the temporary pot. The holes are dug at a distance of 45 cm from each other; the ground in dry weather should be additionally moistened. As the tomatoes grow, they need to be tied up to avoid damaging the stem. Tomatoes require thorough watering at the root, but not on the leaves, the ground under them must be constantly moist, since a lack of moisture leads to the fall of leaves and ovaries.Samara, Pharaoh, Reflex, Vladimir, Virtuoso, Bohemia. Furrowed cracks ... And as a result - a low yield.A question from our subscriber Valentina: Residents of many regions are trying to find varieties that have solid immunity against pests, fungi, as well as high resistance to a sharp drop in temperature. First of all, these are the regions of Siberia, as well as other northern regions, where there is high humidity and rather low temperatures in spring. Let us now consider what would be better to plant in such conditions.
2. Diabolic Tolstoy For many summer residents, the size of the grown vegetable matters. They have an excellent appearance for trading on the market, they can be bragged to a neighbor or simply served on the table as decoration.Their taste, as a rule, is slightly inferior to small fruits, but it will not hurt every summer resident to grow a couple of bushes of such vegetables. We would like to bring to your attention the most large-fruited varieties of tomatoes for open ground and their detailed descriptions 10-12 days before planting, the last hardening is carried out. The temperature is reduced, if possible, to 2-5 degrees. First, the film is slightly opened or tucked, and after 2-3 days it is removed first in the afternoon, and then completely for the entire time until disembarkation. Plants grown this way will grow stocky, strong, with short internodes, and this is a very simple, straightforward method of growing seedlings. You need to cut the plastic wrap, for example, from the bags with which you come from the supermarket, ribbons, strips. The width is about 10 cm, and the length depends on the number of seeds of a particular variety. Cover the top of the film with a strip of toilet paper of the same width and length. Spray water on the paper to get it evenly wet. On wet toilet paper, you need to carefully spread the tomato seeds every 2-3 cm, and from above you should step back 1 cm.Then, put another tape of toilet paper on top of the spread seeds. The last layer is film again. The seeds are between two layers of toilet paper and between two pieces of film - this is our “diaper.” Several years ago I experimented with the timing of transplanting: the first transplant is the beginning of the third decade of March (March 20-23), the second is the end this decade (March 26-30). Experience has shown that tomatoes planted under a film cover in the last days of March gives an earlier, higher yield. I think this is due to the more favorable temperature and light conditions. ”Tomatoes are one of the leading vegetable crops in the Krasnodar Territory. No wonder. Growing tomatoes is one of the main directions of the development of Kuban agriculture. Not a single private garden is complete without tomatoes. They are grown by planting seeds in the open field or through seedlings. Growing tomato seedlings in peat tablets, in home-made containers, in "diapers", in sawdust - this is what gardeners do as soon as "the spring smells". But before planting seeds for seedlings, it is necessary to calculate the sowing date as accurately as possible. This is our further conversation. And various stresses, abrupt transitions from heat to coolness endure hybrids F,: F, hybrids are almost completely insured against all these troubles: I moved to live in Krasnodar Territory, the city of Yeysk, here The Kuban steppes and for 3 years my tomatoes on the vine are baked, although I water them every other day, the leaves of the cucumbers curl up and they are also boiled on the vine. Tell me which varieties are best planted for this strip? It's just a pity for labor and money, in the fall I still buy everything at the market, vegetables are brought there from neighboring regions, they are farther from the sea and there are no such dry winds.
3. Productivity reaches 700 c / ha when grown on a selection plot, in F1 Pudovik.The temperature regime created during hardening is close to temperature fluctuations in the open ground in early spring. Therefore, such tomato seedlings tolerate transplanting well, and the established plants can withstand cold snaps, even short-term frosts up to minus 1 degree of air and minus 1.5-2 degrees on the soil. It can be planted in open ground 7-10 days earlier than usual.Then roll the resulting tape like a roll and place it in a container so that the edge with the seeds is at the top, for example, in a plastic cup, into which you pour some water to the bottom. Water is needed to keep the paper moist. Place an impromptu greenhouse on a windowsill or other, not necessarily bright, place. It is advisable to change the water periodically. A plant growth stimulator (Heteroauxin, Kornevin, Epin, Zircon, others) can be added to the water. Do not add it to a glass of seedlings, but first prepare the solution according to the instructions.I added HB-101 solution (1-2 drops per 1 liter of water). In 5-7 days, the first shoots will appear. Now for your "diaper" you need to choose a bright place.

Seedlings grown under a film cover, under a film, are more adapted to withstand unfavorable climatic conditions when transplanted into open ground than grown under glass.

The most productive varieties and their descriptions

Tomatoes surpass oranges, cherries, strawberries, peaches in the amount of vitamins and mineral salts. Tomato fruits contain up to 12% sugars, citric and malic acids. The more sugar with enough acid, the tastier the tomato tastes. The best sugar-acid combination is 8: 1. The fruits of tomatoes grown in the Krasnodar Territory are among the best in the world.

1. Verlioka plus, Kostroma, Margarita Botanist, Evpator, Torzhok, Russian size Dear Valentina, I have a good friend living in the Kuban who grows ultra-ripe tomato varieties - Bonn-m, Katya, Zagadka, Alaska, Dachnik Sedek, Nimble, Irina, Pink souvenir, and others too. Pygmy (cherry type, 25-30 cm high), Blitz, Leader of the Redskins, Parodist, Biathlon. Try the green Emerald Apple tomato. Many varieties. A friend says that the more varieties of tomatoes you plant, the greater the yield of the tomato. But I like "Emerald Apple" more.Marmande.Under normal conditions, you can get 400-450 c / ha with timely fertilization with minerals
2. Has another significant advantage - high yield. Collect 12 kg / 1 sq.m. is not a record, it is quite possible to get it at an ordinary summer cottage. Bushes grow up to 120 centimeters, spreading, pinching is not required. Ripening period - 150 days. Tomato Powerful. A tall bush (up to 150 cm), on which, but here it should be specially noted that lighting when growing seedlings is important, greatly affects the early harvest. The most favorable light regime develops under film shelters, better than glass that transmits ultraviolet rays.After the appearance of two or three true leaves, you can dive into pots with soil. How to do it? We need to unfold our roll. Then remove the top strip of film. You will see that the sprouted tomato seeds lie in diapers with 5-7 cm long roots. You can visually see which plants have strong stems and which ones with weak ones. The paper is so wet that it won't get in the way. So dive with her
3. In some years, when growing tomato seedlings under the film, there is a danger of freezing it from low night temperatures. Now a plastic film is being produced, which saves 1.5-2.5 degrees from frost. In order to reduce heat loss, you can cover it with a second layer of foil. For this, a second row of arcs is installed so that between the first and second layers there is a space 5-8 cm wide. And as you know, air is a poor conductor of heat. With such a shelter, the seedlings can withstand frosts down to minus 7-8 C. In order to get good seedlings, you need to prepare the seeds for sowing. For this purpose, the required amount of seeds is immersed in water or 3-5% sodium chloride solution, kept there for 3-5 minutes to separate by specific gravity. All this time, they must be constantly stirred so that they are completely moistened. The most full-bodied will go down, they must be used for sowing. Prolonged heat above 34 ° C causes burns to leaves and fruits.

The most resistant tomatoes to disease and weather

This is one of the most resistant vegetables, which is practically not affected by fungal diseases, withstands the attacks of many pests. Moreover, the weight of the fruit reaches 250 g, which is quite a lot for this group. One of the most significant advantages of the plant is its resistance to sudden changes in temperature, so the seedlings can be planted much earlier than usual, by about 2 weeks.

1. ... The bushes are not spreading, up to 120 centimeters high, the fruits weigh 120-140 grams, of the correct shape. Possesses increased lightness, well transported over long distances. Suitable for salting, fresh consumption, seaming and other purposes. Disease resistance of tomato is very high, especially to fusarium wilting, anthracosis of fruits and leaves, brown and white spot. In many ways, it surpasses the best Dutch varieties of tomatoes that are not acclimatized on the territory of the Russian Federation.Tolstoy produces up to a dozen fruits weighing from 200 g to 1 kg
2. It is recommended to grow hardened seedlings with active ventilation and moderate water supply, that is, during the entire cultivation period, no more than 2-3 waterings should be carried out. With frequent, abundant watering (5-6), it is more susceptible to black leg disease, quickly outgrows, the fruit yield is reduced by almost 20% This method of growing seedlings "in diapers" is attractive because it does not take up much space. No dirt when diving. The Sochi Institute of Mountain Horticulture and Floriculture has proposed an original method for increasing the heat-retaining capacity of film shelters. Its essence is that when two polymeric materials with different dielectric constant friction, an electric field is formed, which constantly keeps air directly at the surface of the film. This layer of air retains the heat radiated by the soil, which increases the temperature difference between the air under the film and the surrounding air by 5-8 degrees, thus protecting the plants from death at low temperatures. After separating the seeds in a salt solution, they must be carefully rinse with running water. Then the seeds are etched with a 1% solution of potassium permanganate (1 g of potassium permanganate crystals: 100 ml of water) for 30 minutes. Instead of potassium permanganate, you can use a 2-3% solution of hydrogen peroxide - soak the seeds for 7-8 minutes, a solution of boric acid (1/2 teaspoon of boric acid powder: 1 glass of water) - soak the seeds for 2-3 hours. Then they must be rinsed under running water Overheating of the soil leads to partial damage and death of the surface roots, their burns.
3. The remaining do not form fruit. The prudent vegetable growers already have tomato seedlings growing.

While the plants are growing, they are fed 2-3 times. The amount of dressings depends on their condition. It is best to carry out top dressing, timed to watering.

Just don't roll the rolls too tight. If the seeds are not supplied with oxygen, they may not sprout. In addition, water will stagnate in tightly rolled rolls - the seeds can rot.

The best varieties of tomatoes, tomatoes for a hot summer

For this, on top of the film shelter (greenhouses, tunnels), a mesh of another polymer material, for example, nylon, is applied. When the film and nylon mesh vibrate from the wind, an electric field is created, which holds the air.If possible, they can be enriched with oxygen (bubbling), which accelerates the emergence of seedlings. This technique is especially necessary for tightly sprouting vegetable seeds (pepper, eggplant, parsley, celery, carrots, etc.). For this purpose, you can use a compressor or spray that is used for an aquarium.Instead of a compressor, an air-inflated auto chamber is used. The bubbling of tomato seeds is carried out for 10-12 hours.And here it is already worth choosing varieties of heat-resistant tomatoes, specially created for the southern regions, such as

The first feeding is carried out after the tomato seedlings take root after the pick. For 10 liters of water, take 8-12 g of ammonium nitrate, 40 g of superphosphate, 7-10 g of potassium salt. A bucket of solution is consumed for 2-3 square meters. meters.

For early planting of tomatoes, seedlings are needed that can withstand the unfavorable conditions of early spring. When growing it, the use of triple hardening is of great importance. This is a 5-6-day hardening of seeds according to the Voronova method. For this purpose, tomato seeds are soaked in warm water (25-28 degrees) for 6-8 hours. Then they are placed in a damp cloth in a warm place until the seeds are pecked once.The amount of charge depends on the atmospheric conditions, the size of the grid cells. The finer the mesh, the stronger the vibrations of the film or mesh from the wind, the greater the amount of charge, and, consequently, the heat-retaining properties of the film increase.Before sowing, they are slightly dried, sown to obtain seedlings. For 1 sq. meter is sown no more than 10-12 g of seeds. For this, grooves are made every 4-5 cm with a depth of 1-1.5 cm, into which seeds are sown in rows.

Considered one of the largest in Russia, it is grown in almost all regions, even in the northern ones. The period until technical ripeness is 115 days, it is considered medium early. The yield is 5 kg from one bush or up to 17 kg from 1 m2. With a good feeding with mineral fertilizers, the plant's immunity becomes much stronger.

The second feeding is carried out 8-10 days after the first. It is better to carry out it with fermented chicken droppings or slurry diluted 10-12 times, with the addition of 60 g of superphosphate to a bucket of water or mineral fertilizers alone per 10 liters of water - 15-18 g of ammonium nitrate, 70-80 g of superphosphate, 20 -25 g of potassium chloride or potassium salt.

From this period, the actual hardening process begins. The seeds that have hatched are placed in the refrigerator for 16-18 hours at a temperature close to zero. After this time, they are taken out of the refrigerator, kept for 6-8 hours at a temperature of 18-20 degrees. So the seeds are hardened for no more than 5-6 days.It is known that the cultivation of any seedlings in peat tablets, cups reduces the loss of the root system when transplanting into open ground. And transporting plants in pots increases its volume and weight. In addition, it is necessary to specially prepare or buy soil mixtures for peat or plastic cups.

When calculating the time for sowing tomato seeds to get seedlings, you need to know the timing of the beginning of flowering and ripening of fruits. At the optimum soil temperature (24-26 degrees) and sufficient moisture, good seeds germinate in 4-5 days. From germination to the beginning of flowering, it usually takes 50-60 days.J.

Summer residents are actively buying seeds for the new season, but not everyone knows which variety to give their preference to. It is especially difficult for beginners, and here an important condition is to understand what climate you live in. After all, you cannot plant the same tomatoes in different regions. A competent approach is important here. Today we will introduce you to the varieties of tomatoes for the Krasnodar Territory, both for open ground and for greenhouses. This fertile land is ideal for growing crops, but knowledge is still needed here.

Information on how and where exactly varieties can be grown is very important. It is naive to believe that all tomatoes that could grow in the open field are suitable for a greenhouse, and vice versa.

The best varieties for the Krasnodar Territory

Aswon F1

This variety is ideal for those summer residents who love compact, small fruits that are very well suited for pickling. The skin on the tomatoes is firm, but not tough, which means that the pickles will keep well. The variety is sweet, tomatoes have a rounded shape, slightly elongated at the edges.

"Gift of the Kuban"

We continue our acquaintance with varieties of tomatoes for the Krasnodar Territory for open ground. This variety is especially suitable for warm edges. But it should be noted that the territory of the Krasnodar Territory is very vast. Here the climate can be roughly divided into two types - mild, with a good abundance of rain, and arid, windy. Tomatoes, on the other hand, love the first option. But this variety is not afraid of drought and this is its strong point. Bushes of medium height - up to 70 cm.

For open ground, this representative is also ideal.This variety is not for everyone, but for those who love very low bushes - from 20 cm to 40 cm, which ripen late. Experience has shown that the harvest will be obtained after about five months from the moment the seedlings emerge. But the variety is suitable for commercial cultivation.

By the name, one might think that these tomatoes have only recently begun to be grown by summer residents. No, they were brought out more than 35 years ago, but gardeners have been faithful to them all this time.

So our selection is over - TOP 10 of the best varieties and hybrids. These tomatoes are suitable for the south, they can be grown in other regions, if certain conditions are observed.

Video: Tomato varieties for open ground

We have 8.5 acres of land. Before retirement, she managed to build a 130 square meter greenhouse in her garden. m. Tomatoes grow in one half, and cucumbers live in the other. I got a lot of advice on growing them from the "encyclopedia of folk wisdom"

For example, I really liked the cucumbers Vernissage, Courage, Finger. I plant the latter along the paths in the grooves prepared in the fall, and in the spring I make tapestries over them. All the cucumbers are in the sun, there is enough for everyone (I plant them, by the way, in open ground).

I plant it first in cups, and then under a film, with an interval of 10-15 days. We have enough harvest, but I sell the surplus. I do not use chemicals, fortunately nearby, nettles and horse sorrel grow in abundance in the lowland.

I keep chickens and use chicken droppings. When it's cold, I heat the greenhouse (I have a tiny stove there), and then I also bring the ash to the garden - a double benefit. I use green manure, because it is expensive to buy manure and humus, and it is difficult to carry it in one hand with a sore back.

And with grass it is very convenient: I will cut it with a sickle, chop it with an ax, I will ferment one part in a compost heap, and use the other as mulch.

Especially appreciated her when growing tomatoes.

I confess, I'm just crazy about tall varieties, but I plant both medium and low-growing ones - you can't, as people say, put all your eggs in one basket. I do not trust meteorologists, the omens are also "junk" nowadays, so I have to be on the safe side.

By the way, about the eggs. I grow seedlings of low-growing tomatoes in shells. When I first read about this method, I didn’t believe it (after all, I have a character!).

And when I tried it, I was delighted. And I grow it like this: I take a package for eggs (not plastic), put it on a piece of film so as not to stain the window sill, and connect it with a stapler in the corners. Each package contains 30 shells - or rather, halves.

But first I make a small hole in the bottom of each of them with a nail, then I fill the shells with fertile soil and spill it with hot manganese.

After cooling down, I lay out the dry seeds and deepen it a few millimeters with a match. From above, flush with the edges of the package, I cover it with dry earth and cover it with a film. When the loops appear at the shoots, I remove the film, and put the packaging in a sunny place.

When two or three true leaves appear, I water it from a small watering can with a growth regulator, which prevents the seedlings from stretching, increasing the thickness of the stem and helping the development of roots.

Watering makes the egg packaging soak, but it’s not in vain that I put a film on the bottom - the earth does not spill out, and there’s no dirt. When it comes time to plant the seedlings in the greenhouse, I just break off a piece of the packaging with my hands (I knead it slightly in my hands) and plant all this stuff in the hole. It is impossible to separate the shell from the cell - the roots, having passed through the hole in the bottom, "stick" to the cardboard. But this is even good, because it produces amazing biomass! In addition, there is no harm from packaging, it will completely rot in the ground. You look at this large lump of roots and you are amazed: the tops are small, but the roots - even at once into the ground, and not into the greenhouse.

Tomato growth pill

But only low-growing tomatoes can be grown this way. For the tall ones, I have a different tactic. I buy medium-sized peat tablets, soak them, and then, in the same way, with a match, I push the seeds into them. I put the soggy pill barrels in plastic containers with a bottom (sold in shops for gardeners).

In the seedling stage, care is normal. I pour earth into the containers on top of the tablets, gently level everything. I water this whole economy from below - in the sense of putting containers in the water. But I no longer pour the growth regulator on the seedlings, but only slightly spray it.

When planting in the holes, I sprinkle ashes and a pinch of superphosphate, then gently take it by the stem and transfer it along with the briquette to the finished place.

Huge roots go through the tablet shell and grow beautifully. The first time I do not water the seedlings, but the next day after transplanting I sprinkle it, and this is where all the troubles end. I used to make grooves around plants, but now I refused - it is hard and troublesome alone.

After hilling, I sprinkle chopped green mass of sorrel and nettle around the plant: the thicker this layer, the better.

I don't run around with a watering can - the greenhouse is big. I just put the hose on the path, and when it's time to water, I turn on the tap and fill the entire garden bed. By the way, I rarely water.

My main and constant assistant is Andryusha's grandson. Without his tenacious male hands, work in the garden will not work. And the age (he turned three years old), in my opinion, is the best in order to accustom a child to work and love for the land and nature. And the granddaughter really does everything with pleasure and a sense of pride!

Tomato varieties for the Krasnodar Territory

The most favorite variety of tall tomatoes - Big Beef... Red, the mass of one brush is 1 kg. When pinning, I do not break out the stepsons, but cut them off, leaving 7-8 flower brushes. When the fruits on the first three or four hands have already been collected, I gently break the lowest stepson out of the bosom, and soon a new one will appear from there.

While it is growing, the fruits ripen on the upper clusters, after which I carefully cut off the main stem. I leave the stump 3-4 cm higher than the grown stepson, and gradually wrap it with the same twine that held the main stem. And the harvest is always very decent.

December harvest tomato

In 2012, she planted 10 pieces of pink varieties Paradise and Pink Unicum... I planted seedlings somewhere in the middle of February. Then, in due time, she transferred them to the greenhouse. Well, then a cheerful life began - the roof in the house suddenly leaked out, and an immediate repair had to be started.

Well, you yourself know that this makes your head square, you only think about the prices of building materials.

Therefore, I did not look into the greenhouse very often, and the tomatoes grew by themselves. Autumn came unexpectedly after the construction work; it was long and warm that year. Medium-sized varieties in the greenhouse bore fruit in two waves, and these Paradise and Unicum decided that this weather would be all year round. All the fruits from the main stems have already been collected, now they have appeared on the stepsons, and the relics of these bushes did not cease to amaze me. And all the time she looked askance at the calendar on the wall, all the time she was afraid: what if tomorrow frost?

Therefore, I did not dare to grow fruits to large sizes - I picked them with medium, green ones.

The latter were removed in mid-December, when the temperature in the greenhouse was no higher than 3 °. I didn't take any further risks, but I realized that these varieties perfectly withstand such a temperature. And one more interesting moment: at this time, in the neighboring garden, where medium-sized varieties grew, in some places strong and plump seedlings sprouted - apparently from the last fallen fruits.

I kept the green fruits in a cold summer shower in boxes, one at a time on a warmer veranda, and from there in a cardboard box into the kitchen, selecting those of them that began to turn pink first.

We finished the last on March 8th. In general, it turned out that from each bush (and there were 20 of them in total) I removed 9 kg with a hook. Agree, it's worth the cost: 4-4.5 rubles. for 1 tablet, plus a growth regulator, plus 4-5 rubles. for the seed.

With all that, in our southern market, homemade tomatoes in May - about 100 rubles. per kilo, and in summer - below 50-45 rubles. do not go down.

Last year, I decided to build a second tier in the greenhouse in order to put boxes with seedlings on it. And under it I came up with the idea of ​​sowing directly into the ground what has risen in these boxes. From the remnants of the rails I made triangles, which I attached with the help of piano loops to the middle racks of the greenhouse at a height of about a meter (photo 2). These triangles are mobile. It is necessary - I turned one, the second, and put a shield on top and boxes with seedlings on it. Suffering has passed - in the summer, boxes in a pile, shields - in the corner of the greenhouse. Greens, cabbage, radishes grow below, after which I plant tomatoes. On the shelves, boxes with seedlings stand in two rows (photo 3). By the way, for those who are closely engaged in the cultivation of seedlings for sale, such a significant increase in the area of ​​the greenhouse will be very useful.

During the appearance of recurrent frosts, I cover the boxes on the racks and the beds with seedlings with a covering material in two layers. With the same "rag" I use a stapler to close the ceiling of the greenhouse from the inside so that the tomatoes are not baked in summer, because the temperature in the building sometimes reaches 43 °!

Yes, and I do not remove all the foliage. By the way, my greenhouse roof is made of film, and the sides are made of old frames. I take out the boxes with seedlings outside for hardening, water them with fermented grass.

Well, I plant everything else as usual: carrots, parsley, sorrel - in the fall, the rest - in the spring. That, perhaps, is all that I can share with the readers. I plant mostly tall pink tomatoes in open ground, I really like the variety Lorraine beauty because it grows up to 3 m in height, and the fruits are tied from bottom to top, very large, 700-800 g each.

I plant it in a groove, at a distance of 50 cm from each other, and lying down - one root to myself, the other from myself. I cover them with earth, and to the very top - chopped nettles with sorrel. I do not huddle, only my stepson, I tie it up and water it occasionally. Under a large layer of grass, the ground is not dry, loose and soft. Tomatoes grow for a feast for the eyes! And, of course, I water it with organic matter and ash.

At this point, let me finish. My grandson and I wish everyone health and the same harvests as ours.

There was a time when tomatoes were planted in flower beds as flowers - just for beauty. They were not eaten, but simply admired, not realizing how much they were losing at that moment. Today everything has changed. And it is very difficult to imagine breakfast without a juicy tomato on the table, especially in summer. It is tasty, meaty and flavorful. It is a great addition to scrambled eggs or any light salad. How much is the use?

Tomato fruits have a number of beneficial trace elements and vitamins that contribute to the normal functioning of the cardiovascular and circulatory system. At the same time, you can grow such a healthy vegetable on your own. In this review, we will talk about the best varieties of tomatoes for growing in the Krasnodar Territory in the open field. Description and characteristics of the tomato are given below.

The advantages of growing tomatoes in the Krasnodar Territory

The Krasnodar region occupies a rather large territory, so the variety of climatic conditions in one region will not surprise anyone. The Kuban River divides the land into two parts. To the north of the water is a plain with a very arid climate.Whereas the south with its mountains is characterized by an increased level of precipitation.

When growing tomatoes in the Krasnodar Territory, the location of the site should be taken into account

That is why, when choosing a place for planting tomatoes, it is worth considering the features of the area. For example, in the south, near Tuapse, the subtropical climate is optimal for a tomato. And if you move a little to the north, the situation will be complicated by droughts, and it will be more difficult for cultivated plants to grow and develop. On the plains of the Krasnodar Territory, very often, seedlings simply burn out under the scorching sunlight. Generally speaking, this territory is characterized by hot summers and mild winters.

The soil throughout the region is also different. And here we are talking not only about the presence or, on the contrary, the lack of useful microelements, but also about water permeability. This indicator is extremely important for hot plains. The soil in the steppe part of the region consists of calcareous and leached chernozems.

In general, it is worth paying attention to the fact that The warm and sometimes even hot climate of the Krasnodar region still provides an opportunity to get a good tomato harvest. In this case, you need to correctly select a tomato variety that would take root on this land plot. For example, those plants that have dense and dense foliage are not very afraid of the heat.

Open ground planting rules

Most gardeners agree that there is no particular difference between planting seedlings and planting seeds immediately in open ground in the Kuban. And although the seeds germinate longer, in the future such plants develop faster and even outgrow the seedlings from the greenhouse. Besides, they will be more resistant to low temperatures at night and more resistant to a variety of diseases, typical for most tomatoes.

In the Krasnodar Territory, gardeners grow tomatoes in a seedless way

In order to be warned against natural disasters, most gardeners sow seeds in the ground at the same time sprouted and non-sprouted. In this case, the germinated seeds will sprout much earlier, and suddenly frosts will come, they will die. Whereas dry specimens will remain in warm ground and thereby not be damaged. They will ascend later, but still they will ascend. If everything goes well with the weather, the seedlings will have to be thinned out.

Since tomato seeds have different germination times, it is recommended to make an effort to germinate the tomatoes by mid-April. Practice shows that by this time the land in the Kuban has warmed up enough and there is an opportunity to plant early crops.

Thinning or planting seedlings on a land plot is based on a schematic calculation of 40 * 60 cm.

Before backfilling the seeds, it is very important to irrigate the hole with a solution of potassium permanganate. This will rid the soil of pests and diseases.

The wells are not closed after seed distribution. This is because at the initial stage the seeds germinate very poorly.

How to properly thin out the seeds?

For the first time, it is worth thinning seedlings after the appearance of several leaves, leaving a distance between individual bushes of no more than 70 mm. Then the procedure is repeated when there are five leaves on the plant, with the expectation that there is 150 mm between the bushes. The last time to thin out the seedlings is when no more than four plants remain in the hole. Moreover, the distance between them is about 0.4 m.

When the seedlings are thinned for the last time, the holes are well watered to remove the bushes along with the ground. Don't throw tomatoes away. They can be transplanted to another location.

After watering, the tomatoes must be filled up, so that a hard crust of earth does not appear near their stem, thus leaving moisture inside.

Tomato care

Based on the climatic conditions of constant heat in the Krasnodar Territory, it is important to choose certain varieties of tomatoes. They must be drought-resistant, with large and thick leaves, which can hide the fruits from the scorching rays. In this case, it may seem that the tomatoes themselves are hidden inside the bush. It is there that they will ripen.

On the one hand, warmth is good, on the other, excessive heat is bad. You just need to adjust to such conditions and a good harvest will be ensured.

Protecting tomatoes from the sun with a shading net

But you can protect your crops from the sun by using a non-woven material to darken... It is not recommended to use plastic wrap in this case, since it does not allow air and moisture to pass through at all. Consequently, condensation will accumulate under the coating, and excessive moisture is a prerequisite for the appearance of such a disease as phytophotorosis.

Nonwoven material, in turn, has all the properties we need. It is permeable to moisture and air. Most gardeners in hot climates argue that it is impossible to protect plants from the scorching sun without such a covering material.

The best varieties, description and characteristics

The most suitable varieties of tomatoes for the Kuban are:

Kuban

Tomato variety Kuban

This is an early variety of cream-shaped tomatoes. The mass of a medium-sized Kuban fruit is about 60 grams. The plant is stress- and disease-resistant, although it shows the need for constant replenishment of the soil with fertilizers.

Gift of the Kuban

Tomato Gift of the Kuban

This tomato variety is intended for cultivation in the south of the Krasnodar Territory.

Before planting any cultivated plants, you should pay attention to the climatic conditions of your region and the Kuban is no exception. In view of the fact that the nature of this region has its own characteristics, it is worth choosing tomatoes correctly. And only then can you get a good harvest. For the Krasnodar Territory, where heat reigns to a greater extent, it is recommended to pay attention to drought-resistant and heat-loving plants. These are the varieties: Kuban, Gift of Kuban, Asvon and many others.
