Crop varieties of tomatoes for open. Tomatoes - the best varieties and hybrids for open ground

Cultivators have a responsible approach to the process of selecting seeds and seedlings. After all, not only the taste and appearance of the fruit, but also their yield depends on the selected variety. At the same time, the most difficult problems for beginning gardeners arise with the choice of varieties of tomatoes, and this is not surprising, since some species give excellent results in the greenhouse, while others, on the contrary, feel well in the open field. Therefore, it is very important to choose the right variety, which will later justify the hopes placed.

It should be borne in mind that the greatest demand high-yielding varieties Tomatoes that are of medium size. Such fruits are perfectly placed in the jar and are ideal for blanks. However, most varieties of this category are tall, with the result that you have to build a trellis, which is about one and a half meters high.

Useful information

Each variety of tomatoes has its own taste. So, for example, some varieties are tasty immediately after being plucked from a bush, but over time they lose the brightness of the flavor notes, while others taste opens after salting or canning. However, some varieties can boast impeccable taste, being in half-ripe form. You can distinguish them in appearance. So:

Salt varieties are of medium size and dense. Their secret lies in the fact that the pulp contains a special sugar, which gives an unusual taste during salting.
Canned. They are small fruits with a thin skin, which perfectly misses the hot marinade and at the same time prevents the fruit from bursting.
Salad Very diverse and have no boundaries. There are orange, yellow, striped, pink and other colored fruits. By their weight, they are also different.
Sauce. Soft tomatoes, which have seeds freely floating in the pulp.

As before, favorite varieties for open ground. Early and harmonious ripening, a small bush, tasty fruits of universal purpose. These are Agatha, Angelica, Betta, Rocket, Boni-M, Dubok, Countryman, Moskvich, Picket. A unique variety in precocity - Betta. It can be grown in open ground, under cover and even on the balcony. From shoots to maturing only 85 days! Plants up to 40-50 cm tall, standard, do not require a garter. Fruits are medium in size, dark red, flat-round, weighing 80-90 g. Productivity up to 2 kg per plant.

A special group - strong-growing late-ripening varieties and hybrids with delayed maturation: Vasilisa F1, Black Iceberg F1, Baroque F1, Rococo F1, Tortilla F1, Giraffe, Long Kiper.

Differs very large (about 200 g) fruits and even longer storage - up to 60 days.

It is worth noting top grades Dutch firm “Brothers Bakker”: large-fruited - Pacmore, Floridale, Campbell, Supermarmand; Specially for whole-fruit preservation - Napoli, Moneymaker, Baconi F1. Unusual fruits in Napoli (pear-shaped) and Bakoni F1 (solid and pale). Tomatoes from “Brothers Bakker” have already been tested by our gardeners and have proven themselves from the best side.

At each site must be at least 4-5 varieties or a hybrid of tomatoes. In addition to the well-known and proven varieties, it is always worth trying something new. Be sure to include in your assortment and lettuce, and pickling, and early and late varieties. Only then will you fully provide your family with tasty and healthy products.

For open ground

Distinguishing features of tomatoes for open ground: fast ripening, friendly yield yield, low bush. These are plants of determinant type - with limited growth. They almost do not require a pinching. Shrubs can be formed into one, two and three stalks. Do not rush the sowing of these tomatoes. Good time - the end of March. 55-60 days - this is the age of the seedlings, which you can navigate. It is recommended to sow them in peat pots with two seeds each, in order to avoid picking and infection with viral diseases. Of the two seedlings left one, the strongest.

Among the varieties for open ground are well-known long-grown varieties: Bely filling, Siberian early ripening, Talalikhin, Agatha, and not yet widespread: Moskvich, Dubok, Piket, Lagidny, Shesterka, Countryman. About the latter in more detail.

Moskvich - dwarf variety, up to 50 cm high, one of the most precocious and friendly, cold-resistant. Maturation occurs 10-12 days earlier than in the Siberian early. The fruits are smooth, rounded, weighing 40-50 g. It grows superbly in a dense planting. Productivity is high, good for salting. The bush is compact, for 1 square meter it is necessary to plant 6-8 plants.

Little higher bush at early variety Dubok. Its fruits are formed weighing up to 100 g - good for salads, and for canning. The variety is resistant to diseases.

The variety Piket has medium-sized (50-60 g) elongated-oval, slightly ribbed, red tomatoes, also intended for fresh use and whole-fruit canning; ready for cleaning in 100-110 days. The picket is recommended especially for our East Siberian region.

The Lagidny variety is similar - the same elongated plum-shaped fruits. They differ slightly in size (60-77 g), smooth, and ripen longer - 120 days. Very nice look entirely in jars.

Another good pickling variety is the Countryman: medium-sized (80-90 g) dense bright red balls are amicably formed on compact bushes and give a decent harvest - 18 kg / sq. m

Versatile tomatoes Six: 120 g, round red, excellent taste.

Experiencing the best varieties of tomatoes, you need to remember that finding out all about the variety for one year is impossible. New variety - this undisclosed book of secrets. The variety that you like is rather a successful combination of the conditions of your land plot (soil condition, position relative to groundwater, prevailing winds, etc.), your ability to care and the parameters of the variety itself. To always be with the harvest (every year, regardless of weather conditions), it is necessary to immediately grow 3-4 varieties of each crop.

For canning

How nice it is to open in winter a jar of canned tomatoes, especially with a tomato platter: yellow, red, elongated and rounded fruits. To prepare a beautiful tomato platter, at least four varieties are needed, such as: Sosulechka (yellow elongated fruits), Golden walnut (yellow round), Countryman (red round) and Lagidny (red elongated). Of course, most of all varieties - with red round middle-sized fruits. For open ground, except for the named variety Zemlyanek (mid-season, with amicable ripening, 80-90 g), there are quite a few others: Moskvich, Dubok, Bely filling, Talalikhin. Hybrids Malyshok F1, Lofan F1, Shagane F1 is recommended both for open ground under temporary shelters and for glazed greenhouses. About hybrids more.

Baby F1 is a characteristic representative of the group of superdeterminant tomatoes: in unison gives the harvest in the earliest terms, the bush is low and compact. The advantages of the variety are resistance to high humidity and low night temperatures. One plant gives 3 kg of flat-round slightly ribbed fruits weighing 70-80 g.

Bushes Lafan F1 a little higher, determinant type. Fruits leveled, perfectly rounded, smooth, weighing 80-90 g. And the yield is higher - up to 4 kg per plant.

Resistant to diseases and unpretentious Shagane F1. A special advantage of the hybrid is its resistance to gall nematodes, pests of tomatoes that are difficult to eliminate. Even more yields - up to 5 kg per plant. Fruits are bright red, 80-100 g, are good not only for canning.

An elongated fruit in tomatoes is not a rare trait among modern varieties. In addition to the interesting Lagidny plum-shaped tomatoes (early variety for open ground), it is recommended to grow the Picket for whole-fruit canning - also an early one, with a low bush (70 cm), which does not require staving; with oblong-oval fruits weighing 60-75 g.

Yellow fruits always attract attention: they look original on a bush, especially on a table.

Sosulechka (Yellow Icicle) - medium maturity, for growing in film greenhouses. The vigorous indeterminate type of plant forms very complex inflorescences, with 25-35 cylindrical fruits with a pronounced nose. Fruits of 50-60 g. Bright yellow color in a mature state. The piglet can be grown even on balconies and loggias as ornamental plant. With regular pinching one plant gives about 2 kg of tomatoes.

From the series of amateur varieties - Golden Nut and Golden Anniversary. Rounded, vigorous bright yellow fruits are good not only in blanks, but also fresh in salads.

Promising hybrids

We will get acquainted with the most popular hybrids of the selection and seed company "Gavrish", one of the leading in tomato breeding in Russia.

In the film not heated greenhouse gives a wonderful harvest in the earliest terms Blagovest F1. The plant is formed into one stem, with a gradual transfer of the growth point to one of the lateral shoots. With this method, tomatoes start to bear fruit earlier, and have time to ripen more fruits on the plant. On the main stem 4-5 buds are left, after which it is pinched. Further development occurs due to the preservation in the upper part of the most powerful lateral shoot, which is also pinched after the formation of 3-4 inflorescences. The process continues until the plant reaches the top trellis wire. A total of 18–20 inflorescences are formed on the plant, which, with regular top-dressings, turn into rounded tasty bright red fruits weighing 90–100 g.

With all the advantages of a hybrid, Blagovest F1 is forced out of the farmer and personal greenhouses by a more perfect determinant hybrid of Master F1. The master is the most ripening of large-fruited hybrids. Breeders managed to get it a unique combination of precocity, yield and keeping quality. Mature fruit hybrid Master can be stored in the room for one and a half months.

For glazed greenhouses and heated film - semi-determinant tomato Kostroma F1. Its fruits are quite large (110-130 g), beautiful, slightly flattened. At the beginning of the growing season they can be slightly ribbed, but then they become even and smooth.

The hybrid of the new generation Margarita is similar to the common Kostroma hybrid, but is more productive and technological. A distinctive feature is the setting of fruits in adverse conditions. Margarita F1 plants are easily formed in one stalk - you just need to remove all stepchildren. The fruits are large, bright red, juicy, very tasty!

The most large-fruited among domestic greenhouse tomatoes is currently Funtik F1 hybrid. It can rightfully be called a delicacy.

Tomatoes have been obtained by breeders whose fruits are harvested with whole brushes. Hand tomatoes have a number of advantages and original features. The size of the fruits within the brush they have the same. For tomato hybrids, the presence of genes controlling the ripening of fruits is necessary, otherwise the first fruits in the hand may over-ripen, while the fruits in the upper part of the inflorescence are still green. Before the fruit ripens, the presence of such genes is indicated by the presence of stipule in the inflorescence sinus. The first domestic hybrids of tomato for collection with Samara F1 brushes (fetal weight 70-80 g), Intuition F1 (fetal weight about 100 g), Reflex F1 (fetal weight 120 g) have a simple loose bilateral inflorescence, usually not requiring pinching. Fruits ripen amicably and long remain on the plant, not overripe and not crumbling. When harvesting, tomatoes are cut with whole brushes or collected individually. They can be stored at room temperature for a month. The most productive of these "wrist" hybrids is the Intuition F1. The Samara F1 and Intuition F1 hybrids belong to the early maturing, and the Reflex F1 hybrid belongs to the mid-season group of varieties.

Growing tomatoes in a protected ground, during the entire flowering period, it is necessary to shake inflorescences 2-3 times a week in the middle of the day. It improves pollination and increases the setting of fruits.
