Just a couple of decades ago, farmers were not faced with the question of which sorts of tomatoes are the most productive, because they used the seed that was available. And today the producers are pleased with the assortment of seeds, from which it is possible to grow numerous varieties and hybrids of tomatoes. On the packaging depict bending under the weight of large bright fruit branches, luxurious bushes, but how not to be mistaken in choosing the kind that really gives the most delicious and yielding tomatoes?
Criterias of choice
To plant the most productive varieties of tomatoes on your site or in a greenhouse, it is necessary to take into account a number of factors and adhere to certain rules. First, no one has ever managed to grow a good crop from poor-quality seed. Secondly, always take into account such characteristics of the variety as yield, resistance to frost and disease, compliance with climate conditions and taste. Whatever it was, but it is the yield of tomatoes that is the criterion on which the choice of truck farmers is based. If you select the right sort, then from one square meter of greenhouse you can collect about 20 kilograms of tomatoes. For ordinary varieties, this figure is 12-15 kilograms. If the quantity is in the first place, then it is worth giving preference to hybrids (on the package marked with the F1 marking).
Another important factor is the type of bush. If you choose the most productive varieties for greenhouses, it is worth considering indeterminate varieties. These tall, high-yielding tomatoes bear fruit until late autumn, but the places in the greenhouse occupy more than the undersized bushes, the most popular varieties - Honey Spas, Southern Tan, Pink Tsar, Mushroom Loose, Midas and Scarlet mustang". If you need varieties that will ripen before the rest, among the low-yielding tomatoes, the glory was won by Asteroid, Ballerina, Eleonora, Riddle, Pink Honey , Seagull and Mit. These determinant varieties are grown predominantly in a single stem. To increase the yield when planting stunted and tall varieties, you should plant the first perimeter of the site or the greenhouse, and the second - in the center.
The size of the fruit is another cornerstone. If you need large tomatoes for vegetable salads and for making juice, you should choose between such varieties as "Mikado", "Chernomor", "Russian Soul", "King-London", "Dream", "Cap of Monomakh", "Abhazec "And" "Biysk rosan." For salting, fruits of medium size are needed. In this category, the varieties "Sanka" , "Zemlyak", "Picket", "Herringbone", "Moneymaker", "Shuttle", "Robot", "Slivovka" can boast the highest yield. But also small dense fruits at truck farmers in honor. The most productive varieties of mini-tomatoes are Bonsai, Cherry Yellow, Minibel and hybrids Mariska, Tomato Cherry, Zelenushka and Golden Bead.
Pay attention to the number of harvests during the season (one or two or three), and the rate of maturation (early ripening, late ripening), and resistance to disease (hybrids in this respect are the leaders), and the duration of storage of fruits, and
Ogorodniki-"gourmets" do not bypass even the appearance of the fruit. If the red, orange, green and yellow tomatoes already surprise no one, then the white tomatoes ("White miracle" and "Snow White") and black ("Rio Negro", "Gypsy") - is still a curiosity.
And finally, what kind of varieties you choose, it is worth to be safe from failure, planting not one, but three or four varieties of tomatoes. Thus, you will first of all see what grade is the best for you.
