The abundance of tomato seeds on the domestic market often poses the difficult task of choosing suitable plants for gardeners. It is important not only to find the optimal type, but also not to make a mistake with the timing of fruiting. What are the best tomato varieties of 2021 that will be relevant in the coming season? Let's look at the most popular varieties.

Description of the best tomato varieties of 2021

Positive aspects of street culture

The greenhouse is deservedly considered a more reliable option. However, growing tomatoes in soil has a number of advantages:

vegetables turn out more tasty and healthy;
attacks of pests and diseases are less aggressive and not so destructive;
lower financial and labor costs;
The yield of simple varieties is practically not inferior to that of hybrids.

Seed companies offer vegetable growers a choice of both hybrid and non-hybrid varieties.

The best greenhouse varieties. Breeders' choice

Hurricane F1

The hybrid variety, originally from Russia, ripens early. The tomatoes ripen at the same time. After about three months, you can already harvest a rich harvest (about 12 kg).

Shape and structure

Tomatoes have a neat round shape. The fruits are the same size. The outer structure is slightly ribbed. Tomatoes are quite dense, but there is a lot of liquid inside.

One of the big advantages of this hybrid variety is the identical fruits that ripen at the same time.

Weight

Greenhouse fruits are much heavier (about 100 grams) than those grown in open ground.

Color

Bright red.

Use in cooking

Hurricane is often used in canning because the fruits are dense and do not crack. Lecho and salads are also made from these tomatoes. But making tomato juice or puree from them is problematic.

Susceptibility to disease

Unfortunately, this variety very often suffers from late blight. Therefore, the soil must be regularly loosened, thoroughly watered with warm water and enriched with fertilizers. And also remove stepchildren in a timely manner.

Chanterelle

These tomatoes are the lowest of all the varieties presented. The maximum length of the bush is 1 meter. One of the main advantages of Chanterelle is its resistance to sudden temperature changes in the greenhouse.

Shape and structure

Tomatoes of this variety have an oblong oval shape with a sharp tip. They look like the Banana Legs variety. But "Little Chanterelle" is a little smaller in size and much sweeter in taste. The structure of the fruit is soft. The core is dense. There are a lot of seeds.

Weight

The average weight of one fruit is 80 grams. One bush can ripen tomatoes of different sizes.

Color

Ripe tomatoes can be either orange or pale red.

A ripe Chanterelle will have a red tint near the stem

Use in cooking

“Little Chanterelle” is very versatile in use. The sweet taste allows you to make tomato juices, baby purees, soups, lecho, summer salads and, of course, pickles for the winter from tomatoes.

Susceptibility to disease

The variety is prone to late blight. This fungus can destroy half the crop. To prevent the disease, you need to plant bushes away from each other. The distance between them should be at least one and a half meters. You can treat the plants with special antifungal drugs in advance.

You can read more about other causes of tomato diseases in the article on our website - Why tomatoes crack when ripe.

Kira F1

Hybrid variety. It was developed by breeders specifically for growing in greenhouses. The bushes of the plant are tall, up to 2 meters.

Shape and structure

Tomatoes have an oblong elongated shape. Despite the fact that this is a hybrid, its fruits are very juicy and fleshy. The peel is smooth and thin. There are few seeds.

Weight

The tomatoes are small. The weight of one tomato is no more than 30 grams.

Color

Rich red.

Tomatoes from one bush may not ripen at the same time. There is no need to pick green fruits ahead of time. They should ripen naturally, on the branch

Use in cooking

Tomatoes are prepared from them in their own juice and pickles are made. When scalded with boiling water, the skin of the fruit can be easily removed. They quickly cake and deteriorate due to the fact that they are too soft.

Susceptibility to disease

The variety is quite resistant to bacterial and fungal diseases.

Variety or hybrid?

In closed ground, the advantage of hybrids (in all respects except taste and fruit weight) is more obvious. For open ground, breeders also offer resistant varieties of tomatoes of hybrid origin; they are resistant to diseases and temperature contrasts.

But numerous reviews indicate that amateur gardeners still prefer non-hybrid forms - they are considered more tasty and aromatic, and you can also get your own seeds from them (it’s free, plus a guarantee of germination and varietal purity).

Early low-growing tomatoes of Siberian selection for open ground

We, living in a region with cool and short summers, appreciated the tomato hybrids bred by Siberian breeders for open ground. Their main value is that they are insensitive to temperature changes, resistant to cold, high-yielding and able to ripen after being picked from the bush. Tomatoes of Siberian selection are suitable for the Urals and central Russia, for areas of risky farming.

The best tomatoes of Siberian selection:

Early, mid-early, low-growing, super-yielding, ultra-early ripening up to (80 days from germination to fruiting), many varieties do not require pinching.

Among them are excellent pickling tomato varieties:

Of course, this is not a complete list of the best varieties of tomatoes of Siberian selection.

Selection of varieties for open ground

For greenhouses, indeterminate tomatoes with an extended growing season are certainly more profitable. For street beds, the criteria are much broader, but the selection itself is stricter. Here there is more dependence on a variety of conditions - climatic zone, microclimate, goals and capabilities of the gardener.

More information about the best varieties of tomatoes for greenhouses.

We can say that there are three types of street culture:

seedless method;
planting seedlings under temporary shelter;
planting seedlings immediately under the open sky.

For different climatic zones, the set of varieties for each method will be different, but there is a general rule: mid-late and late ripening periods are not suitable for open ground.

Limitations on the height of bushes depend only on climate and technology: tall varieties of tomatoes will not reveal their potential in the short summer and lack of good support.

Agricultural technology options:

In regions with warm summers, tall tomatoes can be planted in the ground - if it is possible to provide a strong support (trellis), timely pinching, and worthy feeding. This is the only way the most productive tomato varieties will be able to reveal their potential.
In recent years, semi-determinate tomatoes have become increasingly popular. This is sometimes called determinant varieties and hybrids of medium height (100-130 cm). As a rule, they are universal - suitable for both open and closed ground. Simple supports in the form of pegs are suitable for them; moderate pinching is required. The harvest yield is worthy.
Low-growing tomatoes are less labor-intensive and unpretentious. It is advisable to thread them up to the first cluster - for earlier ripening, but this procedure is not mandatory. Excessive pinching leads to a decrease in yield. Sometimes a thickened planting is used.
For super-early varieties (low determinants and super-determinants), a non-seedling method of cultivation is possible. This does not mean direct sowing into the ground, but the arrangement of at least a minimal greenhouse with heat accumulation.

In 2021, the gardener has the opportunity to experience the latest breeding achievements and compare them with old, proven tomato varieties.

Review of the Astrakhan tomato

Stepanova I.V., 63 years old, Stavropol

I live in Stavropol, here there are very dense soils and hot summers. It is difficult to choose good tomatoes for such conditions, but “Astrakhansky” is ideal. Neither strong heat, nor wind, nor drought affect the tomato yield - in any case, I collect about four kilograms of vegetables from each bush. Tomatoes are great for pickling and have an amazing taste when fresh. Another advantage is that the variety is not afraid of diseases, such as blossom end rot, TMV, and Egyptian broomrape. I recommend “Astrakhanskiy” to everyone as a win-win option that produces consistently high yields.

Tomatoes are determinate and indeterminate, what is the difference?

Determinate tomatoes - low-growing varieties with limited growth, from 60 cm to 1 m

According to classification, they can be divided into subspecies:

semi-determinant - stop growing after the formation of 10-12 brushes,
superderminant - stop growing after the formation of the third brush. Stem height is 30 to 60 cm, does not require gartering or pinching.

Early hybrids of determinate tomatoes: Castalia, Corrida, Katya, Spinel, Duchess of Taste, Diadema, Hypil-108, Bella Rosa, Magnus, Sadik, Florida-47, cherry Blossam, Fidget, Imperial weakness, Raspberry BIF, Arletta, cherry Lisa

Indeterminate (unlimited growth) - the tallest, stem growth is unlimited (from 2 m and above). For a good harvest, timely pinching, installation of supports and gartering are necessary. In risky farming areas, greenhouse cultivation is recommended.

The best hybrids of indeterminate tomatoes: Bull's heart, Ox's heart, King of Siberia, Three giants mixture, Supersteak, Puzata Khata, Puzatik, Thick cheeks, Japanese truffle, De Barao black, Cosmonaut Volkov, Amateur's Dream, Sugar Giant, Lemonchiki, Orange Giant, Ural -super

Reviews from gardeners: the best varieties for open ground for 2018

Considering the climatic conditions of our country, it is difficult to grow such a heat-loving crop as a tomato in open ground. It is much easier to do this using a greenhouse. However, if it is occupied by another crop or is simply absent, then, subject to certain conditions, it is possible to grow tomatoes in open ground.

According to existing opinion, they will be even more useful than greenhouse ones.

The main thing is to choose the right type of tomatoes so that it is desirable:

early ripening - early (ultra, - super early) varieties will allow you to grow a crop in a relatively short warm season, avoiding possible late spring or early autumn frosts;
short, or at least medium-sized - to better withstand wind loads in open space, even with relatively weak support.
