The best tomato varieties for greenhouses: a list of common representatives

Gardeners are increasingly planting tomato varieties on their plots. Most of these plants are intended for planting indoors. They were bred to be grown on a large scale for industrial purposes. But ordinary summer residents also loved them.

The distinctive quality of these tomatoes is that their fruits ripen almost simultaneously. They form a kind of bunch with many tomatoes and are very decorative.

Carpal varieties have a number of advantages:

high productivity;
good gastronomic qualities;
ripened tomatoes do not rot or fall off;
can be collected in bunches.

Seeds are planted for seedlings. Sowing time depends on climatic conditions.

Among the raceme tomatoes there are indeterminate (tall) and determinate (short) plants. Indeterminate bushes are formed leaving one main stem. Determinate - in several stems. Tall bushes need to be tied to a trellis or stakes.

The brush of such tomatoes can be simple, intermediate, complex or very complex. There are very few plants with a complex raceme. One bunch can consist of 30-100 tomatoes.

According to the ripening period, tomatoes can be:

ultra early ripening 80-85 days;
early ripening 90-95 days;
mid-season 100-115 days;
late ripening 120-130 days.

For areas with a temperate climate, early varieties are better suited. Late-ripening ones can be planted only in the south of Russia, or in greenhouses with additional heating.

Hybrids are considered the best cultivar tomatoes. These tomatoes require a lot of attention. They are high-yielding, the fruits are beautiful, smooth, with shiny skin, transportable, and not susceptible to diseases. In terms of taste, hybrids are not inferior to other varieties. Well kept.

Hybrids are obtained by crossing two species. They are designated by the letter F1 (first generation), obtained by crossing. Hybridization is complex, long manual labor. The seeds of such plants are more expensive.

Specific characteristic

Previously, gardeners also grew so-called cluster tomatoes. But the fruits on them did not ripen at the same time, and also, their size was not the same. After breeders began transforming such varieties, it became possible to pick ripe, juicy fruits at the same time, along with a dense brush that securely holds the tomatoes even during transportation.

The varieties of grape tomatoes cultivated today can be described as follows:

Tomatoes on a bunch ripen almost simultaneously. After the lowermost fruits ripen, the upper ones still retain their presentation and do not lose their taste. A ripe brush can remain on the bush for about a month without reaching the stage of overripeness.
The tomatoes are tightly attached to the branch. They can be collected together with a brush, and even light shaking and transportation over fairly long distances does not cause damage to the stalk. You can be sure that all the tomatoes will remain on the bunch.
Tomatoes are the same size on the same bunch. If their size were different, the overall appearance would suffer, which affects their cost.
Resistance to creases allows you to be sure during fruit filling that the clusters will be intact and the fruits will ripen successfully in the garden.
Carpal varieties of tomatoes are distinguished by their ability to reliably resist cracking of fruits, despite unsuitable weather conditions or insufficient care for them.

In addition, the hybrids created by breeders are characterized by increased productivity, resistance to many types of diseases and pests of tomatoes, as well as early ripening. Another positive feature of such vegetables is that they do not require frequent fruit picking.

Advantages of greenhouse tomato cultivation

Typically, raceme tomatoes are grown in a greenhouse; only some varieties can be grown in the ground, and even those only in the south. Of course, growing tomatoes in greenhouses has a number of disadvantages, but there are also advantages:

It is easier to fight diseases and pests in a greenhouse; drugs act more effectively in closed ground conditions;
You can exercise full control over the growing conditions. In a greenhouse we are less dependent on weather conditions;
Good greenhouses usually allow for two crops;
Tall indeterminate tomatoes are best grown in greenhouses - it is easier to tie them up there, and there is no danger that strong winds or an animal will break the fragile stem.

This is especially important for the northern regions, where even early-ripening, low-growing tomatoes do not always have time to ripen in open ground.

Advantage of raceme tomatoes

As a rule, grape tomatoes for greenhouses can also be grown in open areas in the southern regions without compromising their quality. Of course, the greenhouse growing method also has some disadvantages, but there are still many advantages:

indoors it is easier to fight pests and plant diseases, and the effect of the drugs is more intense;
you don’t have to worry about the vagaries of nature,

in a greenhouse it is easier to control growing conditions;
This method of cultivation will allow you to harvest up to two harvests per year;
Since hybrids are characterized by tall bushes, in greenhouse conditions it is easier to care for them and protect fragile stems from gusts of wind or animals.

Growing in a greenhouse is quite favorable for server areas, where even early varieties with low-growing bushes do not have time to ripen in open areas.

Small-fruited tomatoes

Lovers of small tomatoes should grow small-fruited tomato varieties.

Mandarin duck

This variety is suitable for people who plan to grow early-ripening tomatoes in the garden. Mandarin fruits will ripen two months after planting in the soil. The advantages of the variety include a pleasant taste, resistance to cold and a high level of yield.

Mandarin duck differs from other small-fruited vegetables in its fruits, which are colored bright orange. A harvest of 5-8 kilograms is harvested from each bush.

Potted orange

An early-ripening super-determinate plant, the height of which does not exceed twenty centimeters. The compactness of the bushes allows them to be grown in small pots. Tomato fruits are also small and weigh only 30-40 grams. They are used when preparing preserves and creating vegetable salads.

Monisto chocolate

Indeterminate vegetable with tall bushes 2-3 meters high. The bush does not need to be pinched, as it independently forms into one stem. When grown on seedlings, small clusters appear, which can contain 15-25 small tomatoes weighing 35 grams. They have a pleasant sweetish taste that is a bit like the taste of plums.

Features of tomato hybrids

Although in the southern regions tomatoes grow well in open areas, hybrid varieties of tomatoes planted for greenhouses can provide a fairly early or, conversely, very late harvest. In the northern regions the situation is somewhat different. If weather conditions fluctuate, characterized by a sharp drop in temperature, cloudiness, this will also adversely affect the growth of greenhouse plants.

Such vagaries of nature will not bother gardeners if the tomato growing facility is equipped with heating and reliable electric lighting. But such costs during cultivation can significantly increase their cost. Therefore, the best varieties are considered to be those that can bear fruit even in low light conditions or with significant fluctuations in temperature.

As a rule, tomato varieties bred for southern latitudes are not suitable for northern climates. But one should not assume that under no circumstances will tomatoes of this series be grown there. But northern tomatoes in southern latitudes will not be able to produce a miracle harvest. Most likely, the harvest will not be obtained at all. Because plants grown in cool climates simply cannot survive hot days.

Remember! When choosing tomato hybrids for growing, carefully read the label on the package. They may be written: “heat-resistant”, “resistant to low temperatures”, and also “resistant to low light”.

Of the main varieties of raceme tomatoes, zoned mainly in cold climates, the best varieties of these vegetables described below can be distinguished.

Features of raceme tomatoes

Carpal tomatoes are those whose fruits can be collected in whole clusters. In clusters, the fruits fill and ripen at the same time, do not overripe or crack. Ripe fruits on a branch look very impressive. At the same time, raceme tomatoes are distinguished by very high quality fruits, and the plants themselves are unpretentious, resistant to diseases and have a genetically inherent increased productivity. The combination of all these factors determines the popularity of these tomatoes among summer residents.

In general, raceme tomatoes have small fruit sizes and thick skin, so they can be used for preservation and fresh. The preparations made from them are very tasty and beautiful.

The fruits of raceme tomatoes are stored well even without special conditions. To extend the period of consumption of tomatoes, the brushes can be cut off at the moment when the first 2-3 fruits in the “bunch” turn red. After 4 - 5 days, the rest of the tomatoes in the bunch will turn red.

These tomatoes tolerate transportation well, which is why they are in great demand when growing tomatoes for sale.

Like other raceme tomatoes, they are divided into indeterminate and determinate.

As a rule, raceme tomatoes are grown in greenhouses. Most of these are indeterminate plants (unlimited growth) that need to be shaped. A small number of varieties of brush tomatoes can be grown in open ground.

We will tell you about the best varieties of grape tomatoes for greenhouses and open ground in this article.

True friends f1

A tomato variety of Siberian selection has a fairly early ripening period. Bushes can reach two meters in height. The tomatoes are round in shape, scarlet in color, and have a firm consistency. The weight of the fetus usually reaches 100 g.

Used for preservation. Temperature changes do not have a negative effect. It has a positive characteristic of tomatoes for open ground when planted in cool climatic zones.

Tomato Yenisei - description and characteristics of the variety

The Yenisei tomato is a tall plant with large fruits. This is a semi-determinate variety, meaning the plant stops growing when 10 to 12 flower clusters are formed, their placement observed every two or three missing leaves.

How to grow

The Yenisei tomato must be grown using seedlings. To begin with, the seeds need to be placed in an aloe solution for a short time, and then sown in the soil to a depth of one centimeter. When sowing is complete, it is necessary to water the seeds every day with warm water from melted snow or rain (optional, but desirable) and after watering, cover the area with film until the first sprout appears. In order for growth to proceed steadily, you need to sometimes add compost extract.

The Yenisei tomato loves light, so using fluorescent lamps you can speed up plant growth. When two leaves of the seed appear, they need to be planted in different peat vessels. All these actions will help protect the roots of the tomato from various injuries. Planting seedlings can begin in the first ten days of the last month of spring, the order of their placement is like in chess.

According to the research and practice of gardeners, the best fruitfulness of the Elisha tomato is established when the bush matures into one or two stems.

How to care

For good growth and harvest, the following care conditions must be met:

Mandatory loosening of the soil. This must be done carefully so as not to injure the roots.

Loosening the soil allows them to breathe oxygen, and this has a good effect on the growth of tomatoes. Hoeing removes weeds, and removing noxious weeds is another important maintenance activity as they interfere with plant growth. Water daily with warm water. Feeding tomatoes with complex mineral fertilizers will help growth and improve the quality of the plant. If you follow these simple rules, then the best and most delicious tomatoes will be on the table. So, from one bush you can collect from five to six kilograms, and from two, in general, from ten to twelve.

Plant characteristics

The fruits of the Yenisei tomato are quite smooth and round, ripen up to 500 grams, the color is bright red, distributed evenly throughout the fruit, the skin is strong and does not crack. And the most important thing is the taste, it is very delicate and soft, slightly sweet and slightly sour, which is good, because the flavors are harmoniously combined. You can eat it straight from the garden, but it’s better to wash it first. In general, the fruits are good to eat both fresh and canned.

Intuition f1

They can withstand transportation and do not crack when ripe. Used for cultivation in the regions of the North. It is resistant to changes in climatic conditions and nightshade diseases.

Characteristics and description of Japanese tomatoes

Growing Japanese tomatoes is a very interesting and entertaining activity. Today, every owner of a plot of land can choose a variety that is suitable for certain characteristics. Some of the foreign hybrids have low growth rates and can be grown in a room or on a balcony. Others are intended only for street landing.

For a novice gardener, a large assortment of “Japanese” products can frighten, confuse and mislead. Tomato varieties recommended by sellers do not always meet the requirements that consumers expect from them. Therefore, experts recommend that you first familiarize yourself and thoroughly study the “new product” on the domestic market before making your choice.

Japanese Crab

The popularity of the Japanese Crab tomato is caused by the taste of its fruit. This tomato is very sweet, its flesh is dense and has almost no seeds. This description of the vegetable makes it ideal for preparing cold appetizers. In addition, the connection between the name of the variety and the vegetable itself is also interesting. The fact is that the shape of a tomato resembles a crab, since the fruit of this hybrid is slightly flattened and has noticeable protrusions on top.

Domestic gardeners who grow this Japanese tomato variety highlight the following features:

This tomato bush is tall. The height of the stem, with proper care, can reach 160-170 cm.
This "Japanese" has large thick green leaves. But the impressive landscaping doesn't overshadow the clusters of pink tomatoes.
Productivity is high and long lasting. When grown in a greenhouse, you can have a good supply for the winter, because this variety actively produces crops until mid-autumn.
Resistant immunity to diseases and pests. With proper care, the risk of rot, tobacco mosaic and other diseases is minimal.

A person who decides to plant this hybrid on his plot of land must go through the standard period of growing seedlings from seeds and planting them. You should not start sowing in open ground right away, because the chances of seedlings appearing are minimal.

Japanese Truffle

The fruits of this variety can change their color

Characteristics of the Japanese Truffle tomato is its advantage. The fact is that the fruits of this plant, in addition to their amazing taste, can change their color depending on the duration of ripening.

Japanese creeping

The description of the Japanese creeping tomato makes this variety unlike other varieties of tomatoes. Of the “Japanese”, this is the shortest tomato. Its peculiarity is associated with the size of the shoots, which spread 60-70 cm wide. The height of such a bush is small and rarely exceeds 25 cm in height.

Numerous reviews about this hybrid are related to its appearance during the flowering period. The fact is that its flowers are bright yellow. Flowers, like golden decorations, decorate a spreading green bush

In addition, the fruit ovaries that form later also attract attention. Small bunches of red tomatoes, weighing no more than 100 grams, resemble in their appearance the world-famous Cherry tomatoes.

In addition, these mini tomatoes are great for canning.

Senkara

No less popular in Russia and neighboring countries are the varieties “Senkara” or “Japanese Rose”. These hybrids have average height. They require molding into 1-2 stems when grown in open ground or in a greenhouse. The fruit cluster of the Senkara variety has impressive size and weight. A “bunch” of large pink tomatoes, weighing 250-280 grams, will ripen by mid-June. The indicators of the Japanese rose are more modest. The cluster of this hybrid includes 5-6 bright red tomatoes, weighing no more than 140 grams.

Chisato

The hybrid "Tisato" deserves special attention. Among the people, such a tomato deservedly received the title of giant. The fact is that this powerful plant actively grows and bears fruit in any climatic conditions. The only thing this “Japanese” doesn’t like is frost.

Fruits even in unfavorable weather conditions.

Cultivation Recommendations

The best yield indicator is obtained when using seedling planting techniques. Strong sprouts require compliance with simple rules of agricultural technology:

Plant seeds 1–2 centimeters deep.
Organization of separate containers for each bush.
Maintaining air temperature from 21 degrees.
Picking when two leaves appear.
Moistening the soil with water at room temperature.
Good illumination of the room, daylight hours from 16 hours.
Preliminary hardening of seedlings before planting.

Caring for a tomato consists of following the standard rules for tall varieties of tomatoes. You should water it on time, remove weeds, loosen and feed the bushes. Inert tomatoes should be tied up and the brushes should be supported with supports. It is advisable to use high greenhouses.

The Carpal hybrid is best grown in seedlings. Seeds are placed in a container with the prepared soil mixture to a depth of 1 cm. The soil is lightly compacted and watered with warm water using a sprayer.

The container is covered with film until the seeds hatch. For the friendly appearance and normal development of sprouts, ensure a temperature of at least 21°C. Seedlings require a light regime, so fluorescent lamps are used to extend the day.

In the phase of formation of 1-2 true leaves, plants are picked into separate containers. For this purpose, it is better to use peat pots, with which you can plant bushes directly into the ground.

Before planting in a permanent place, the seedlings are hardened off for 7-10 days. To ensure high productivity of the hybrid, complex fertilizers are periodically applied according to the manufacturer’s scheme.

The Kistevoy variety needs special watering, which is carried out only after sunset. Warm water is applied at the root. To regulate the balance of moisture and air in the soil, loosening and hilling are carried out.

To ensure even distribution of moisture, it is recommended to mulch the soil using non-woven black fiber. Using last year's grass and straw as mulch serves as an additional source of organic nutrition for the crop.

A tall crop requires tying to a trellis or support. When planting per 1 m², it is recommended to plant no more than 3 bushes to provide each plant with sufficient space.

Maryina Roshcha f1

A hybrid of Siberian selection with stable yields and early fruit ripening. It has increased fertility. Brushes can have up to 9 tomatoes. One tomato can weigh 170 g. A distinctive feature is the simultaneous ripening of the fruit. Used for preservation. Retains its presentation during transportation. During the season you can harvest up to 20 kg of tomatoes of this variety from 1 sq. m.

Resistant to some types of diseases. Such plantings perfectly adapt to weather conditions even in northern climate zones.

Planting in the ground and caring for tomatoes

Ready seedlings, which will have at least 5-7 true leaves, are planted in a prepared greenhouse or in beds.
For the Carpal hybrid, a placement pattern of 0.4 m in a row and 0.7 m in row spacing is suitable. This area is enough for the normal life of plants.

Form a tomato into 1-2 stems. To do this, either all the stepsons are removed, or the lowest one is left. A second stem is formed from it. The first inflorescence appears on the bush after 9-11 leaves, the next ones after it - after 3 leaves. 6-7 fruits of equal size are tied to 1 cluster.

The Carpal hybrid is tall, so it cannot do without a garter to supports, a trellis or a net. They are installed when planting seedlings.

The brushes need to be tied up if there is a possibility that they will not support the weight of the fruit. But usually this is not required.

Like all tomatoes, Kistevoy needs abundant watering and timely feeding. Only with careful care will you be able to get a good harvest.

For watering in a greenhouse, you can use a drip irrigation system; this is convenient in terms of saving water, time and labor for the gardener. Using the system, you can also fertilize along with watering - just dilute a certain amount of fertilizer in water.

To preserve soil moisture, you need to use mulch from plant material or agrofibre. If there is no shelter, the soil is loosened every time after watering.

Feeding is carried out at least three times per season. The first - when the tomatoes begin to throw out flowers, the second - during mass flowering, the third and, if necessary, the fourth - at intervals of 2 weeks.

Both mineral mixtures and organic matter are used. How much fertilizer to take and in what volume to dilute is indicated in the instructions for each drug.

When using organic matter, slurry diluted with water in a ratio of 1 to 10 is poured under each bush, 1 liter. Then water the tomatoes with clean water.

During 2-4 feedings, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers can be replaced with ordinary ash from burnt plant debris - scatter it under the bushes at the rate of 0.5 kg per 1 sq. m. m or water the plants with ash solution (1 tbsp per bucket).

Hybrid Carpal tomatoes begin to sing 3 months after germination. The fruits turn red together, usually they are all evenly colored, so when removing the berries, they pick off the entire cluster of fruit at once.

Professional f1
