During self-pollination, pollen from the anthers of the stamens lands on the stigma of a pistil of the same color or neighboring ones.

But at the same time, it is better to help tomatoes with pollination so that more ovaries are formed, and, accordingly, more fruits.

In order to improve the pollination process, there are two main ways:

1. Artificial pollination is usually used when pollination by insects or wind is not possible, for example, in closed greenhouses or indoors in winter.

Artificial pollination can be carried out in three ways:

Pollinate by hand using a regular brush or toothbrush. Just touch them to the tomato flowers one by one;

Using a fan directed at the plants, the air flow created by the fan transfers pollen from one flower to another;

Shaking: You can shake the plants themselves or their supports and garters.

2. Natural pollination is carried out by insects or wind, so it occurs only in the warm season and in open areas.

In greenhouses and greenhouses, the following methods are used to improve pollination:

Attracting insects by planting various flowers of honey plants next to tomatoes;
Ventilation of greenhouses and greenhouses, the wind also helps in pollination.

Pollination is best done in the morning, as pollen ripens at night. Pollinated flowers differ from unpollinated ones by having their petals bent back.

Which early varieties of tomatoes for greenhouses to choose

The earliest greenhouse tomatoes are usually hybrids. These are plants that differ from ordinary tomatoes in their high characteristics: they are more resistant to changes in environmental conditions and are less susceptible to diseases. Early ripening hybrids produce large tomato yields within a hundred days.

It is important to note that hybrid seeds must be purchased every year, since seeds collected from productive tomatoes are unsuitable for replanting.

The earliest tomatoes need to be tied up and pinched. The purpose of the variety can be very different: for canning or salads. Super varieties are distinguished by their beautiful appearance, juiciness, and unforgettable taste.

Varieties of early ripening tomatoes:

Golden brush. Representative of an indeterminate variety. Fruiting begins 95 days after planting. Plants reach a height of 150 cm. They need to be tied up and pinched. The fruits have a small, pear-shaped shape, golden yellow color, dense structure and sweet taste. They have a universal purpose.
Mandarin duck. Representative of an indeterminate variety. It begins to bear fruit at 90-100 days. The plants grow rapidly in height, so they definitely require staking. He also needs to be stepsoned. The fruits are orange in color and have a pleasant taste.
Poznan. Representative of an indeterminate variety. The plant begins to bear fruit on the hundredth day after planting. It is recommended to form it into one stem. Adult tomatoes need to be pinched and tied up.
Sweet bunch. The indeterminate variety is formed into two stems, necessarily tied and pinched. Tomatoes are particularly resistant to adverse conditions.

Tomato seeds of early varieties are sown twenty days earlier than the main planting of seedlings in the ground. It is better to plant seedlings in prepared and fertilized soil. It is important to remember that tomatoes cannot be planted in soil where tomatoes or cucumbers previously grew.

Also, when planting, it is important to maintain the optimal distance between tomatoes. Read about this:

Semi-determinate varieties

Before you start growing such tomatoes, you need to study the most famous varieties of tomatoes for greenhouses.

Magnus

A productive variety that was bred by breeders from Holland. The first fruits ripen within 80-90 days. The bush of the plant is quite tall, as it grows up to one and a half meters. Because of this, Magnus needs to stake the bushes so that they do not break under the load of fruit. This procedure should be carried out when the plant grows to 80 cm. It is also necessary to regularly remove excess shoots from the bushes.

The tomatoes of this variety are not very large, as their weight reaches only 100-200 grams. They are formed in brushes of 4-6 pieces. The fruits are colored red and have a round shape with slight ribbing on the edges. They are quite juicy and meaty, so they are used for making tomatoes and juice.

Khlynovsky

This hybrid is mid-early, which means that the first tomatoes begin to ripen three and a half months after planting. Khlynovsky differs from many varieties in the height of its bushes. On average, plants grow up to 200 cm. Because of this, the bushes need pinching and staking.

After full ripening, the green fruits turn bright red. They have a round shape that is slightly flattened. Tomatoes are not very large, as their weight is only 180-190 grams. However, if you grow them in southern regions with a warm climate, their weight can increase to 300 grams.

If you grow this tomato in a greenhouse with ideal conditions, you can get quite a large number of fruits. On average, you can harvest 5-8 kilograms of tomatoes from one bush.

Baron

The Baron variety is an early-ripening hybrid, the fruits of which are fully ripe within one hundred days. Tomato bushes are medium-sized and grow only up to 80 cm. Over time, the first brush appears on them. It is located under leaves 6-8.

The fruits of the plant are quite small and weigh about 150-180 grams. They have very fleshy and dense flesh with a sweetish taste. Tomatoes are stored for a very long time, so they can be transported over long distances. Due to their compact size, they can be used to create barrel pickles and preservation. They also go perfectly with many vegetables and are therefore often used when preparing vegetable dishes and salads.

Yvette

It is one of the earliest varieties of semi-determinate tomatoes. Literally 50 days after planting, you can start collecting fruits. Yvette tomato bushes are not very large, they grow up to 50-70 cm. Yvette and other varieties of tomatoes for greenhouses and greenhouses do not need to be tied up. To get large fruits, you will have to engage in pinching and forming bushes. It is recommended to form Yvette into one or two stems.

Over time, dense red fruits begin to form on the bushes. Their average weight is 120-140 grams. However, larger tomatoes may form on the first bushes. They have good transportability and excellent presentation. They are also resistant to tobacco mosaic and nematode.

Red Arrow

Red Arrow tomatoes are shade-tolerant tomatoes, so they can be planted more densely. The fruits begin to ripen one hundred days after the seedlings are planted in the ground. The height of the bushes is quite large and amounts to one and a half meters, which is why they have to be tied up and trimmed regularly.

To get a good harvest, you will have to periodically feed the plant. This is done using a mixture prepared from boric acid and potassium permanganate. In addition, it is necessary to loosen the soil and water it during the growing season. With proper care of the bushes, you can achieve a fruit weight of 150 grams. The fruits of the Red Arrow are very juicy and fleshy. They are used in cooking for preparing vegetable dishes and salads.

Fruitful varieties are usually resistant to changes in temperature and humidity in the air and soil. When purchasing, it is also important to pay attention to the purpose of the variety: tomatoes can be grown exclusively for sale, salads or canning.

What you need to know about self-pollinating tomatoes:

Type of bush. Tall bushes, reaching two meters, are distinguished by a long fruiting period and high quality fruits. If low-growing bushes require little space, then self-pollinating bushes should be planted at intervals of 2-3 seedlings per square meter. A tall stem must be formed by removing excess stepsons.
Tomatoes reach large sizes. These tomatoes are distinguished by their juiciness and sweet taste. The most famous: “Monomakh’s Hat”, “Mikado”, “World Record Holder”, “Chernomor”.

Self-pollinating tomatoes

Tomatoes are self-pollinating plants, that is, one flower contains both male and female organs, which simplifies their pollination when grown indoors or in a greenhouse, since they do not require pollinating insects.
During self-pollination, pollen from the anthers of the stamens lands on the stigma of a pistil of the same color or neighboring ones.

But at the same time, it is better to help tomatoes with pollination so that more ovaries are formed, and, accordingly, more fruits.

In order to improve the pollination process, there are two main ways:

1. Artificial pollination is usually used when pollination by insects or wind is not possible, for example, in closed greenhouses or indoors in winter.

Artificial pollination can be carried out in three ways:

Pollinate by hand using a regular brush or toothbrush. Just touch them to the tomato flowers one by one;

Using a fan directed at the plants, the air flow created by the fan transfers pollen from one flower to another;

Shaking: You can shake the plants themselves or their supports and garters.

2. Natural pollination is carried out by insects or wind, so it occurs only in the warm season and in open areas.

In greenhouses and greenhouses, the following methods are used to improve pollination:

Attracting insects by planting various flowers of honey plants next to tomatoes;
Ventilation of greenhouses and greenhouses, the wind also helps in pollination.

Pollination is best done in the morning, as pollen ripens at night. Pollinated flowers differ from unpollinated ones by having their petals bent back.

How to choose a variety of self-pollinating tomatoes for a greenhouse?

It is better to choose self-pollinating tomato seeds based on the following tomato qualities:

Resistance to various bacteriological and fungal diseases;
High yield;
Purpose of using fruits: for salads, canning or sale;
Good taste.

Diseases and yield

The yield criterion when choosing seeds for a greenhouse is of indirect importance, since the size and quality of the harvest depends not so much on the varietal characteristics, but on the weather and agricultural technology. However, there are seeds of tomato varieties that show resistance to adverse weather conditions and set fruit well even with flaws in care.

According to popular ratings, these are tomatoes:

Demidov;
Eagle beak;
Oak;
Tatiana;
Orange miracle;
Verlioka;
Buddy;
Legend;
Sanka.

Tomatoes grow well in low light conditions, do not stretch, and do not stop growing. To extend the fruiting period, it is necessary to leave the upper stepsons. The harvest is given in unison, the fruits are larger than average, but there are not many on the bush.

Eagle's beak is a self-pollinating hybrid, tall, with large, curved drop-shaped, pink fruits. The first tomatoes reach 750 g in weight. The second wave of tomatoes ranges from 400-600 g. Eagle beak is good because, with excellent taste, it sets fruit in any, even very cold, summer. Breeders recommend seeds of this variety for growing in greenhouses in the northern regions.

Tatyana is a medium-vigorous tomato with fairly large fruits of regular shape. The bushes are neat but powerful. The seeds are recommended for beginners as tomatoes will grow with little care. They are well suited for growing in greenhouses in the country when it is not possible to be on the site every day.

Verlioka is a popular hybrid that is loved for its unpretentiousness. It is declared as seeds of medium vigor, but in a greenhouse the bush grows up to 2 m. The fruits are regular round in shape, smooth, weighing 100-80 g. They ripen simultaneously, simultaneously along the entire fruit branch. There are from 6 to 10 tomatoes in one brush. The variety is characterized by high yield and resistance to viral diseases. However, gardeners note a watery and sour taste.
