Tomatoes for the Kirov region greenhouse: the best varieties with photos

Classification of tomatoes from Agrosemtoms

All tomatoes from were tested in the Kirov region. Varieties (hybrids) adapted to the conditions of the Kirov region can be divided into two groups according to ripening time:

early ripening;
mid-season.

All of the company’s products are designed for the weather conditions of the Kirov region; you can choose any hybrid variety and grow tomatoes anywhere in Siberia and the Urals.

Low-growing tomatoes for open ground

As a rule, low-growing determinate species stop growing after the fifth cluster forms on the bush. The first flower cluster in such plants appears after the seventh leaf. The laying of each subsequent one occurs every second sheet.

Determinate plants are divided into two groups:

Super-determinant - early ones that do not require pinching.
Determinate - need to form a bush and remove excess stepsons.

The main advantage of such plants is the early and complete yield of the crop.

It is also important that determinate species are suitable for cultivation both in unprotected soil and in a greenhouse

Vyatich F1

A strong plant of indeterminate type. Tomatoes ripen in 85-100 days. The Vyatich hybrid is planted in any type of greenhouse. The company recommends using a drip system for irrigation in greenhouses. Tomatoes grown in a greenhouse with an automated drip irrigation system show better yields and are less likely to get sick.

The fruits are red, medium in size, weight from 120 to 150 g. The shape of the tomatoes is round and even. The taste of the pulp is even, good, there is sourness. With sharp changes in daytime (nighttime) temperatures, the yield of the variety does not decrease. Immunity to diseases is noted:

VTM;
fusarium;
cladosporiosis.

Tomatoes are widely used in cooking: they are included in the daily menu in the form of salads and used for preparations. Variety value:

immunity to TMV, verticillium, fusarium, cladosporiosis;
yield does not depend on weather changes;
the hybrid can be grown in cold climates (northern regions).

Khlynovsky F1

Hybrid of early ripening periods from 110 to 115 days, determinant. The Khlynovsky F1 shows decent results in the ground and under cover. Tall bushes, from 1.5 to 1.9 m, need shaping (2-3 stems) and staking. Forming into two stems, the stepson is left under the first flower cluster. The third stem is formed from the stepson located above the first flower raceme. The leaves on the bushes are slightly corrugated and dark green.

Tall tomatoes for the greenhouse

I definitely plant the listed varieties, but there are also some that I just liked, and I periodically grow them in the greenhouse, but I have not become a fan of them. Of the indeterminates, I like the raceme varieties the most. Again, this is primarily because they look beautiful on the bush. There are only three varieties, and each has a special reason to grow it.

“Intuition F1” is a mid-season hybrid, but I would classify it as a late-season hybrid. Not only does it reach harvest ripeness only by mid-August, but biological maturity also comes quite late. Some specimens of these tomatoes ripen even until the end of October. But, on the other hand, this is convenient because as a result, we have our own fresh tomatoes at home for a very long time. That's why I sow it in February.

Rice. 12. Photo from the end of July, but the fruits have not yet begun to ripen.

But “Intuition F1” is very easy. This hybrid is great for freezing for future use. In winter, I make pizza and frittata with them, as they do not defrost like porridge, but retain their meatiness well when cut.

Rice. 13. The fruits are all smooth and beautiful.

Rice. 14. In this form, I send “Intuition F1” to deep freeze.

“Scarlet Candles” is a cluster variety, mid-season. They don’t have a special taste, but what a shape! Looks impressive in preparations with cucumbers. However, this is why I grow them. It’s nice to admire such a jar later in the winter.

Rice. 15. The length of “Scarlet Candles” is almost like pickling cucumbers.

Rice. 16. “Scarlet candles” look neat, they all have a characteristic “spout”.

“De Barao” is quite late-ripening; I sow it earlier than the bulk of tomatoes. I really like it in preparations, it does not crack and is very tasty, both fresh and pickled.

Rice. 17. "De Barao" is resistant to disease. I always plant it on the north side, tying it above the entrance to the greenhouse, because it is very tall, and the upper tier ripens even in the last ten days of August, despite the first cold nights.

Rice. 18. The fruits are beautiful, all as one.

I have tried a great variety of salad varieties, I still want to find the most delicious one. Of the unusually colored tomatoes, I really like the taste of “Malachite Box” and “Black Prince”. Both are tall and require pinching, gartering, and formation into 1-2 stems, but the effort is worth it, the fruits are magnificent. “Black Prince” is dark burgundy when fully ripe.

Rice. 19. “Malachite box” in biological maturity – green.

Rice. 20. All these “Malachite Box” tomatoes are already ripe, although in appearance they seem unripe.

The yellow giants are not inferior in taste, of which the most fleshy and tasty for me are “Yellow Truffle” - of an unusual shape, “Persimmon” - indeed, the pulp is cut like the fruit of the same name, “Golden King” and sweet like a melon, “ Golden Bull." “Golden Heart” and “Altai Yellow” were less impressive. But it should be noted that the shelf life of yellow tomatoes is inferior to red ones. From salad reds, I grew “King of Large”, “Cardinal”, “Canary”, “Bear’s Paw”, “Mazarin”, “Altai Red”. What can I say about them - they are all equal, as if they were selected. It tires them to constantly tug and tie them up. One good thing is that they are large.

Rice. 21. Everyone looks the same on the bush. This is Cardinal.

Rice. 22. “Cardinal” is well kept.

Rice. 24. In the foreground is “Mazarin”. It differs only in shape, in taste - like all other red-fruited ones.

Rice. 25. “Altai Reds”, however, can be praised for their friendly maturation.

Separately, I would like to mention the pink-fruited tomatoes “Miracle of the Earth”. If you are lucky with the summer and it is not very hot, then you can get a good harvest from this variety.

Rice. 26. “Miracle of the Earth” are also tall.

But, if there is not very good ventilation in the greenhouse, then this variety will give a characteristic light yellow border, I don’t like it, and I cut it off before use.

Rice. 27. “Miracle of the Earth” - on the right. They are the same size as the Red Giant on the left.

Separately, it should be said about tall cherry tomatoes, for example, “Chio-chio-san”, “Sweet Cherry F1” and others. Yes, many of them are sweet, they look elegant both in the greenhouse and in pickles, but many of them are thrown away and require careful care. No matter how much I refuse to plant them, I still “break down”, I really want to admire the brushes.

Rice. 28. “Red date” is, of course, delicious.

Rice. 29. “Goldilocks” also tastes good if you resist and don’t eat it half-ripe - and it can be eaten even half-ripe.

Baron F1

The mid-early hybrid begins to bear fruit at 110-115 days. According to the type of growth, the bushes are semi-determinate. The hybrid can be used not only for greenhouses, it is a good choice for open ground. The height of the bush in open ground is 70 cm, in greenhouses it is higher. The leaves are green and large. The inflorescences are simple. The first inflorescence is formed in the axil of the 9th leaf. The fruits are red, medium size. The weight of the fruit does not exceed 120-140 g.

The tomatoes taste good. The skin is durable and does not crack. The fruits are used as a raw material for the production of canned vegetables and for fresh consumption in the form of salads and snacks. Productivity is high -15 kg/m². The declared yield can be achieved only if all the rules of agricultural technology are observed. Baron seedlings are planted according to a 50 by 40 cm pattern. Planting density is 6 bushes/m².

Energy F1

Hybrid Energo is mid-early - from germination to the first harvest 110-115 days. The fruits are round, dense, and medium in size. The weight of the average fruit is 120-140 g. Ripe fruits are red; in the area of the stalk of the unripe fruit there is a green spot.

Fruits are multi-chambered (4-5 pieces). The pulp is of good taste. The bushes are powerful, with great growth vigor, of a semi-determinate type. It is advisable to place no more than 2.5 plants on 1 square meter. The hybrid is grown on an industrial scale. The yield in well-equipped greenhouses is 30 kg/m², in conventional polycarbonate greenhouses – 18 kg/m². Advantages of a hybrid:

resistance to diseases: TMV, fusarium, cladosporiosis;
good fruit set;
high productivity;
harvests do not depend on the weather.

Mentor and Entertainer: what varieties of vegetable crops of the Ural selection are worth paying attention to?

Breeding work to create new varieties and hybrids of vegetable crops at the Department of Vegetable and Fruit Growing named after N. F. Konyaev of the Ural State Agrarian University has been carried out since 2004. During this time, many new products have appeared at USAU, among which, for example, the Kolyan cucumber hybrid is especially popular. The head of the Department of Vegetable and Fruit Growing at Ural State Agrarian University, Mikhail KAPUKHIN, told the OG journalist about what scientists from our agricultural university can offer gardeners today and what they continue to work on.

– What new varieties of vegetables bred by USAU will become available to gardeners in the coming summer season?

– In 2022, our new large-fruited tomato hybrid with excellent taste, Mentor, was included in the State Register (see “OG” No. 023 of 02/08/2020. It is determinate, with a fruit weight of 200–250 grams, and the fruits themselves without the bleached part inside. This hybrid can be grown both in low-volume hydroponics in industrial greenhouses and on soil in conventional greenhouses.

– What other varieties of vegetables were created by our Ural breeders?

– Of the tomatoes, in addition to Mentor, this is the Zateinik variety with pepper-shaped fruits, created together with agro. Orange-fruited hybrid Pleasure - this name was not given to it by chance. Its fruits are a beautiful orange color and very pleasant to the taste - so sweet that when you eat them, you really enjoy the taste.

Among cucumbers, our variety Kolyan is known to many; it continues to lead in popularity among gardeners. Together with the Ural Scientific Research Institute of Agriculture, we developed cucumber hybrids Uralochka, Athlete, and Istok. We also have two varieties of shallots in our collection - Berezovsky Aristocrat and Favorite of the Urals.

– Where can all this be purchased?

– We usually sell our varieties at horticultural exhibitions and fairs, but due to the coronavirus pandemic it is not yet possible to hold them. But we plan to start selling our varieties of vegetables at the university and our partner stores as soon as possible.

– Did the seed company with which you jointly created tomatoes include them in their catalogue?

- Certainly. By the way, we work together not only with research and production from Kirov, but also with the Moscow Federal Scientific Center for Vegetable Growing, Selection and Seed Agro.

– Why are they so interested in cooperation with USAU?

“We all started breeding work at different times, and each of us has accumulated our own unique bank of material, which we now exchange. When you stew in your own juice and have no contact with colleagues, you will definitely fall behind, but when you exchange different forms, you will get results faster. We combine our efforts to obtain initial forms for crossing, and test our hybrids in different soil and climatic zones.

– What are our breeders working on now?

– If it’s a tomato, then we strive to obtain varieties with high-quality, uniform fruits that are resistant to major diseases and have high taste. Another important condition is versatility; It is important that tomatoes can be grown both in industrial production and in small private farms. To do this, we are working together with JSC Teplichnoe, whose production site is located in the village of Sadovy near Yekaterinburg. There we test our tomato hybrids and see how they perform. The purpose of this work is to provide greenhouse plants with seeds of our domestic selection. Not all hybrids are universal. For example, our Zateinik tomato is better suited for growing in the private sector, for ground greenhouses. But Mentor, whose production tests are underway in greenhouses, is promising for hydroponics cultivation with and without additional lighting. We tested it last year in the greenhouses of Kazakhstan, there is great interest in the varieties of our selection.

– Why is there interest in domestically selected seeds in industrial vegetable growing?

– Imported tomato hybrids are now very popular among producers, but they have a big drawback – taste, or rather, the lack of it. Not all, but most imported varieties have special genes responsible for preservation. Such fruits are characterized by a high acid content and lose a lot of taste. Therefore, our hybrids successfully compete with them in this regard, and we focus on domestic consumers who prefer tasty, aromatic tomatoes.

Betta

Betta is a productive, ultra-early ripening, greenhouse variety of Polish selection that can be grown everywhere. From one low bush (50 cm) of standard type, up to 2 kilograms of fruit are harvested.

Moskvich

Old (zoned in 1976) ultra-early ripening variety. The first fruits begin to be harvested after 78 days, since the variety is early ripening, the stated ripening time is 90-100 days. The bush is compact, standard, determinate type, requires minimal care.

The fruits are not large, flat-round, the weight of an average tomato is no more than 60 g. The color of the ripe pulp of the skin is red. The pulp contains up to 3% sugars and up to 6% dry matter. The fruits have good taste, juicy, no wateriness. Advantages:

the productivity of the variety does not depend on weather conditions;
yield 12 kg/m²;
rarely suffers from late blight.

Kirov breeders have developed modern varieties of determinate type: Cornet, Askanta, Asket. These dwarf plants are very productive; one bush can produce about 3 kg of quality tomatoes. Caring for tomato bushes is simple: they stop growing on their own, no need to pruning. The varieties are ultra-early ripening and are not affected by late blight. They ripen in open ground and greenhouses.

Summer residents about tomatoes

Positive reviews about tomatoes of the Kirov selection indicate their popularity among Ural summer residents. They are actively discussing tomatoes from Agrosemtoms.

Dina, Ekaterinburg

I buy vegetable seeds, they are bred for the Volga-Vyatka region. All tomato hybrids can be grown in risky farming areas. This season I planted Viscount and Family tomatoes. Viscount's productivity is excellent. My standard is the Andromeda tomato, it surpassed it. The bushes are of a determinate type and are not difficult to care for. The fruits are large and the taste is good. I liked the family F1 no less: the yield is good, the taste is good, the fruits are large. We weighed the first tomatoes, the largest weighed 413 g.

This season I tried the Adonis variety, I am completely satisfied with the result, I can plant it. The Adonis bushes were the only ones that did not suffer from any disease; they were torn out green in the fall. Last season I planted Zateinik and Cheboksaryets tomatoes. The entertainer is prolific, covered with fruits. They were put into pickling; they are not suitable for fresh consumption; the fruits of the Cheboksary tomato are also pickled.

The list of products from Kirov breeders is very large; decide which varieties to choose for the new season. Those who plant Kirov seeds always have a harvest.
