Characteristics and description of high-yielding tomato varieties

Tomatoes are one of the most popular vegetable crops; we plant them for vitamins for the summer table and tasty preparations. And if the area of ​​the greenhouse or garden bed is limited, high-yielding varieties are needed to produce more useful fruits. Modern tomato hybrids must provide the following qualities:

• precocity;
• high yield;
• resistance to major tomato diseases;
• commercial properties of fruits: uniformity in size and shape, attractive color, absence of cracking, keeping quality and transportability;
• good taste of fruits;
• short internodes of shoots, compact arrangement of inflorescences;
• strong, short inflorescences bearing 5-7 fruits;
• the ability to continuously form fruit clusters – a generative type of development (for greenhouse indeterminate bushes).

What tomatoes can be called high-yielding? In quantitative terms, these are varieties and hybrids, from one bush of which we can get 10 or more kilograms of fruit. In greenhouses, when grown year-round, they yield up to 40-50 kg per sq.m.

Early tomatoes for open ground

In terms of ripening time, tomatoes for open ground are of particular interest, ripening in the early and middle stages. Early, super-early, ultra-early and early-ripening varieties include such “hurry-up” varieties that manage to please with the first harvest in less than 3 months after emergence. The clear leaders in terms of ripening speed are undoubtedly Alpha (2004), Amursky Shtamb (2010), Aphrodite (2008) and Benito (2000). Also among the quickly ripening varieties are Barmaley, Ashkelon, Pink Tsar, Sweet Girl, Agata.

Variety selection criteria

Before you go to the store to buy seeds, you should decide on some questions, namely:

1. Where will tomatoes grow?. If the packaging of the seeds says that they are intended only for greenhouse cultivation, then this variety should not be planted in open ground. Of course, the bushes in the beds will not disappear, but they will not please you with the promised harvest. For greenhouses, choose only greenhouse varieties, and those that are more resistant to open ground. If you plan to grow tomatoes in pots on windowsills, opt for compact varieties: although they are small, they are quite capable of producing a good harvest for their size.

2. What should be the shape of the bush? Tall types of crops are considered the most productive, most of which are large-fruited, but they occupy a larger area and require more care, in particular garters and installation of supports. If you decide to stick with low-growing tomatoes, in order to get a lot of fruits, you will need to plant more plants, which, in turn, will also take up a decent area. So think about whether the game is worth the candle, and whether it might be better to plant a dozen tall bushes than fifty low ones.
3. What is the purpose of growing the crop (for food or preservation) . Some of the most delicious are salad varieties of tomatoes with sweet pulp, but they are not suitable for canning, especially in their whole form. But pickled or canned types of tomatoes with thick skin and strong pulp tolerate processing well and do not fall apart, so take this into account when choosing seeds.
4. When to get the harvest . Usually a lot of vegetables are required during the canning season, when winter preparations are in full swing. For these purposes, buy canned, medium and late varieties of tomatoes. And in order to diversify your summer diet with vitamins, select several early salad varieties.

Whatever high-yielding tomato variety you choose, the main thing is that it must be zoned, that is, adapted to local climatic conditions.

Even the highest-yielding heat-loving species, which bear fruit abundantly in the southern zone, will lose this ability in northern latitudes, moreover, they will begin to get sick.

Mid-season tomatoes

Among the average ripening varieties of tomatoes for open ground, 4 of the best can be distinguished: Scarlet Candles (2007), Mushroom Basket (2008), Favorite Holiday (2008), Intuition (1998).

• superdeterminant . Low-growing plants with a height of 30-60 cm. The growth of such tomatoes stops after the formation of 3 clusters. Superdeterminate varieties are most often early ripening.
• determinant . After 4-5 brushes have formed, plant growth stops, usually at around 0.6-1 meters. These tomatoes require pinching and staking of stems.
• semi-determinate . Late-ripening varieties, whose growth reaches 1.5-2 meters, are recommended to be grown in greenhouses.

Determinate tomatoes for open ground

If you have to limit everything on your plot, you have to choose the appropriate tomato varieties. Of the determinant varieties (those with limited bush growth), I recommend paying attention to such popular varieties as: Red Riding Hood (2011), Alpatieva 905 A (1950), Bagira (2007), Linda (2008).

Tomato Alpatieva 905 A

The determinant variety Alpatieva 905 A is very interesting. The variety is old, but people still ask for it and plant it. Suitable for pickling and fresh consumption. Ripens early and quickly, just 100 days after germination. It produces fruits that are flat-round, but sometimes in the center of the crown and round in shape. The tomatoes are completely smooth, practically not ribbed, weighing about 80 g. Ripe fruits are scarlet. The number of nests can be from 4 or more. The taste is decent.

Tomato Bagheera

Bagheera is a new variety, suitable for both salad and processing.

Ripe fruits are painted scarlet. The number of nests can be from 4 to 6, the weight of the fruit varies from 80 to 128 g. At the same time, the taste of the fruit is quite good.

Low-growing, early-ripening sweet tomatoes are the most productive varieties that do not require pinching

The main advantage of low-growing, early-ripening varieties is that they are resistant to unfavorable growing conditions, and most of them are grown without pinching. They withstand heat and cold equally well, insufficient watering and lack of fertilizers. In addition, when there is insufficient lighting, seedlings do not stretch.

Tomato Polbig

My favourite. The early-ripening Dutch hybrid is unpretentious and very tasty. Forms compact bushes 60-80 cm high, moderately leafy. Resistant to burns of leaves and fruits in extreme heat. Ideal for growing in the south of Russia.

The yield is very high for early tomato varieties - on average 4-4.5 kg per bush, even when grown in farm fields. I also like it because it hardly gets smaller on the stepsons (up to 150 grams, it never gets smaller). Very resistant to verticillium and fusarium. The ripening period is 90-100 days, the fruits are smooth, do not crack and are well stored. Universal use. Disadvantage: Slightly susceptible to blossom end rot.

Tomato Solerosso

A magnificent Dutch hybrid, the name translates from Italian as “red sun”. The variety is early ripening, ripening occurs 90-95 days after emergence. During the summer season, the height of the bush can reach only 50 cm.

The fruits are ovoid, small, 50-90 grams, very tasty. In the southern regions they are brightly colored even in October, the bush is covered with fruits. Productivity with good care is 3 kg or more per bush. The skin of the fruit is strong and does not burst on the bushes and when planted, the flesh is dense.

Advantages: resistance to fungal diseases (never suffers from blossom end rot, even on acidic soils, Cladosporium blight, Verticillium wilt, Fusarium blight), transportability, excellent keeping quality.

Disadvantage - not resistant to viral diseases (mosaic, leaf curl, bronzing). But since this hybrid is early ripening, in the southern regions they manage to collect the bulk of the harvest before the outbreak of the disease. The fruits are especially attractive for pickling and pickling.

Tomato Novichok

Another favorite tomato of mine is Novichok. Very tasty, abundantly fruiting mid-early variety (fruits on 114-127 days from germination). It is grown in various regions of Russia. This time-tested variety has remained one of gardeners’ favorites for decades. If you are taking your first steps in growing this vegetable, then start with Beginner. Two types are grown: red and pink.

The determinate type plant is characterized by its small size, medium foliage, height - 60-80 cm. Fruit weight - 80-100 grams. The pulp is fleshy and juicy in taste. Its small size and convenient shape make the tomato suitable for canning as a whole. Both species are resistant to many common diseases.

Tomato Buyan (Fighter)

I recently discovered another ultra-early ripening (ripens on the 95th day from germination) and unpretentious variety of tomatoes. These are Buyan red and Buyan yellow of Siberian selection, the second name is Fighter. Suitable for growing using the lazy method (I come to the dacha twice a week) in any region of Russia.

This is a strong one - a bole up to 50 cm high. The bush is strong, the fruits are oval, red or yellow, dense and very tasty, weighing 90 grams (the first ones can grow up to 180 grams). Productivity depends on the weather. The variety is resistant to drought and has good immunity to viral and bacterial infections of tomato. In seedlings it is problem-free. Suitable for salads and all types of processing.
