New tomato varieties for 2022
Science does not stand still, and breeders have developed new varieties of tomatoes that have a fast ripening period. This is necessary for growing in fields. If the variety has a long ripening period, it will not have time to ripen.
Let us present to you a brief description of tomato varieties for growing in fields:
| Name | Weight of one fruit | Productivity |
| Gina | 200g | good |
| Logan (high temperature resistant) | — | 8 kg per bush |
| Red Fang | 60g | 3 kg per bush |
Pay attention to the new breeding varieties of tomatoes:
| Name | Weight of one fruit | Harvesting | Application, place of cultivation |
| Dimensionless | 1 kg | — | Universal (greenhouses, fields), not suitable for pickling. |
| Alsou | 600g | — | Universal (greenhouses, open ground). Consumed fresh |
| Watercolor | From 80 to 120g | 100 days from the date of disembarkation | Used for pickling |
Due to unfavorable weather conditions, vegetables are grown in greenhouses in most parts of Russia.
Pay attention to varieties with fast fruiting, suitable for growing in a greenhouse:
| Name | Weight of one fruit | Harvest |
| Samurai | 200g | 4 kg per bush |
| Tornado F | — | 8kg |
| Verlioka +F | 9 kg per square meter | |
| Yakimanka F | 230g | — |
| De Barao | 100g | 4 kg per bush |
General biological and agrotechnical properties of dark varieties
Unusual color variations often correlate with other properties, as well as the individual needs of the variety for certain care techniques. An example is the albino form of animals, in which the lack of pigment and the resulting external attractiveness is accompanied by a decrease in immunity and general vitality, a shortened life span, and sometimes infertility.
This pattern fully applies to dark tomatoes, whose biochemical composition differs significantly from conventional varieties.
The “Black Prince” variety – it’s worth trying for such beauties
Are there any special approaches to growing dark tomatoes?
Of course, they exist, but there are opposing opinions on this issue. Many private owners believe - and this confidence is undoubtedly based on personal experience - that black tomatoes are more resistant to disease. Professional agronomists, on the contrary, observe low germination, slow growth, extended ripening and vulnerability to infections, especially fungal ones.
Growing black tomatoes is a real pleasure
To prevent the latter, it is recommended to plant dark tomato bushes in such a way that the air between them is better ventilated. For the same purpose, staking indeterminate varieties and removing the lower leaves is mandatory. Such measures not only reduce the likelihood of fungal diseases, but also allow the plant to fully utilize the leaf mosaic.
The main external quality of dark tomato varieties - their unusual color - is fully manifested only with adequate nutrition, so it is necessary to carefully follow the dosage of fertilizing recommended for a particular variety.
Who benefits from tomatoes with dark fruits?
The work of enhancing genes leads to an increased content of beta-carotene, lycopene, chlorophyll, sugars and ascorbic acid. Since all of these substances are components of taste, it can be argued that in most cases, dark varieties of tomatoes have a more pronounced taste than traditional red and yellow ones.
The variety “de barao black” is an excellent helper for heart health
The connection between dark tomatoes and human health, due to the increased concentration of these substances, is also more pronounced. In particular, these tomatoes have a positive effect on:
- on immunity and vitality due to the antioxidant properties of lycopene;
- bone condition, which is especially important for women during menopause and later;
- condition of the heart and blood vessels due to a significant reduction in “bad” cholesterol;
- The body's ability to fight inflammation and resist the formation of cancer cells.
Doctors call all this a “protective”, that is, a protective function, and recommend dark varieties of tomatoes for systematic use, in particular, for the prevention of cancer.
But you should not get carried away with them if you have gout and other painful conditions of the joints, with increased acidity of gastric juice and kidney diseases.

Brown fruits - chocolate in the garden
When breeding brown varieties of tomatoes, ordinary red varieties were used, to which, during crossing, a gene was added that enhances the accumulation of lycopene and carotenoids. The total content of dry substances in them is higher, which determines the excellent taste and dietary properties of the product.
Dark color is also an indicator of a high content of vitamin C. The daily inclusion of brown tomatoes in the diet maintains the immune system at the proper level, cleanses blood vessels, has a beneficial effect on the heart and liver, and helps the body recognize and eliminate emerging cancer cells.
"Kumato" - Galapagos legend
“Kumato” is a group of hybrids and at the same time a transnational trade brand represented by the entire spectrum of fruit shapes: from cherry and cream to balls of different sizes, they are painted in an even brown color or have stripes. Popularly, the word “kumato” often refers to any dark tomatoes.
Since the company grows tomatoes on an industrial scale and sells them all over the world, the hybrids were bred with an eye to high keeping quality and a long shelf life. Therefore, the fruits have a rather thick skin, which the consumer does not always like, but they are transportable and ripen well.
Kumato seeds are not available for free sale, since Syngenta protects its copyright on them and supplies only to certain companies with which it has reliable contacts.
It makes no sense to extract seeds from fruits for the purpose of sowing them - the descendants will demonstrate a split in characteristics, since these are not established varieties, but hybrids.
"Kumato" always pleases the vegetable grower
An interesting legend is associated with “kumato”. Allegedly, Charles Darwin's great-granddaughter, Sarah, discovered a wild species of tomato on the Galapagos Islands, which perfectly adapted to poor soils, winds, droughts and other delights of this piece of land. Its seeds are so harsh that they germinate only after passing through the digestive tract of a huge Galapagos tortoise.
And this wild sufferer, gnawing into low-fertility soil and depending on the appetite of a rare reptile, became one of the ancestors of this variety of tomatoes. The author company does not say whether this is true or not, but it is known that “kumato” tolerates stress more easily and resists diseases than other tomatoes with dark fruits.
“Chocolate” tomatoes of domestic selection
“Chocolate” is a magnificent semi-determinant mid-early hybrid, recently bred in Russia and already included in the State Register of the Russian Federation. Its yield is up to 10-15 kg per square meter. m. The color of the ripe fruit has a deep shade of boiled tomato paste, the flesh is the same with an orange tint. The manufacturer recommends it not only for salads and pickles, but even for jam, which indirectly confirms the high sugar content in the fruit.
“Chocolate” variety will decorate any table
The younger brother of this variety of tomatoes is the “chocolate bunny”, a representative of brown cherry tomatoes, so desired by any cook. “Bunnies” are plum-shaped and weigh no more than 50 g.
The main advantage of the variety is its ability to bear fruit from the end of June until the end of June, i.e. until frost. This allows you to harvest from a small number of bushes for table use almost the entire season.
Late-ripening brown tomatoes are the kings of the beds
The group of late-ripening brown tomatoes is headed by the “brown sugar” variety with perfectly spherical fruits of deep burgundy color. The variety is indeterminate, up to 2.5 m tall, with a rich taste, as is clear from the name. This is one of the best salad varieties with pronounced oncoprotective properties. There is evidence that brown sugar tomatoes are effective in preventing heart attacks.
Fans of brown tomatoes call them “rejuvenating apples”
“Paul Robeson” of amateur selection also deserves attention: perfectly round balls weighing up to 400 g each, amazing taste, elegant appearance. The only thing that lets it down is its keeping quality: unlike other brown varieties, it has a thinner skin. On the other hand, this improves its consumer qualities.
Also worthy of mention are such brown tomatoes as exclusively greenhouse “creme brulee”, pear-shaped “Japanese truffle”, “watermelon” with half-kilogram fruits, “black Moor” and “black prince”. The last two are slightly misleading with their names. They have a brown color, in which a fair amount of red is visible.
