The best varieties of tomatoes for greenhouses in the Moscow region

The Moscow region has its own climatic characteristics. Hot weather can suddenly change to cold. The long drought turns into a long rainy season. Tomato crops do not like such jumps in temperature and air humidity at all.

When selecting high-quality seeds, it is necessary to take into account the characteristics of endurance to significant changes in temperature conditions and resistance to various types of diseases. It is also better for greenhouses in the Moscow region to take self-pollinating varieties of tomatoes, since insects that pollinate flowers will not be able to get into the greenhouse.

To make it easy to understand all the different varieties, let’s roughly divide them into categories:

early;
productive;
short;
large-fruited;
disease resistant;
cherry

Which tomatoes are best to plant?

Before choosing the best variety, you need to decide how the cultivation will take place (open or closed ground) and what the fruits will be used for.

Important! It is necessary to purchase zoned seeds.

Low-growing, early-ripening hybrid varieties are suitable for open beds and collapsible greenhouses. They will have time to ripen before they are affected by late blight.

When growing in permanent greenhouses, the ripening period is not given any importance. You need to focus on the height of the plant and the taste characteristics of the fruit. Indeterminate ones are suitable for such cultivation, allowing you to get a large harvest from a minimum area. When selecting varieties, it is important to focus on cultivation rules. It is recommended to grow plants that are resistant to late blight and other fungal diseases.

Growing and caring for tomatoes

Seeds must be processed to speed up germination, reduce disease incidence, and increase yield.

Cultivating tomatoes in a greenhouse:

The beds are prepared 10-14 days before planting. Mix the soil with humus.
The width of the bed is about 0.6 m, creating a convenient inter-row space.
The distance between the holes is about 0.5 m, which will ensure adequate nutrition.
The depth of the hole is 20-25 cm; in unheated greenhouses at greater depths the soil is not warmed up enough.
Before planting seedlings, pour potassium, nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizers into the hole.
During the growth process, carry out hilling, loosening the soil, complex fertilizing, proper watering, weeding and disease prevention measures.

In open ground:

Dig up the beds using a spade. Apply organic fertilizers.
The best predecessors of tomatoes are carrots, cabbage, and cucumbers.
Plant seedlings after the soil has warmed to 15 ° C, this is somewhere in mid-May.
Planting is done on a cloudy day, the distance between rows is 0.5-0.6 m.
The distance between holes is 0.3 m for low-growing tomatoes, 0.5 m for medium-growing tomatoes.
The depth of the hole is about 12 cm. It is necessary to deepen it to the cotyledon leaves.
