The best tomato varieties for 2022: the most productive, tasty, for open ground and greenhouses

When choosing tomatoes for their plot, gardeners, first of all, rely on varietal or hybrid characteristics. Productivity is the most important criterion on which the quantity and quality of the harvest depends. Sometimes it can be difficult to choose the right option from the rich variety of tomatoes for open ground and greenhouses. Then varieties are selected depending on the growing region, ripening period, degree of disease resistance and other factors.

Varieties for greenhouse cultivation

Having a good greenhouse at your disposal, you can get fresh tomatoes to your table all year round. Greenhouse varieties are suitable for preparing salads or canning. Excellent salad tomatoes can be obtained from the following varieties:

Geisha;
Fairy gift;
Andromeda;
Eagle beak;
Pink Angel;
Pink Pearl;
Fatalist;
Scarlet caravel;
Amana orange

The best varieties for preservation:

Auria;
Banana legs;
Pink raisins;

Alexander the Great.

Cherries are sweet, small tomatoes that grow well both outdoors and in a greenhouse, but small-fruited vegetables tend to be more productive in protected beds. Magic Harp F1 and Yellow Caramel F1 are hybrids whose fruit weight does not exceed 25 g.

When choosing a vegetable for a greenhouse, many rightly give preference to tall and high-yielding varieties. But low-growing plants, which usually have an early ripening period, as well as mid-ripening tomatoes, are also excellent for polycarbonate shelters in all regions of Russia.

For open ground

Plants intended for cultivation in open ground must meet certain requirements: be able to withstand stressful growing conditions, have a stem that can withstand wind and mechanical treatment, and be resistant to diseases and pests. That is why almost all varieties bred for cultivation without protection are intended for commercial production. The most productive tomatoes for open ground:

Siberian Troika is an early variety of domestic breeders, intended for open ground in the growing conditions of Siberia and the northern regions. It has a low (60 cm) standard-type stem. Does not require tying or pinching. Fruits up to 300g of universal use with good taste, pepper-shaped. They tolerate stressful weather changes well and are resistant to diseases.

Kibitz is a product of Polish breeders for universal use. Registered in 2006, but appeared on summer cottages much later. Description of the variety: ultra-early, high-yielding variety of tomatoes with multiple harvests. The fruit is a cream 60-80 g with excellent taste, good transportability, medium size.

From the beginning of planting seedlings to the ripening of fruits, 70 days. Recommended for the steppe zone, but has proven itself in higher regions. Does not form stepsons, resistant to late blight.

The fruit is pink in color, has good taste, and is intended for salads and pickling. Disadvantage: susceptibility to blossom end rot.

Reviews of seeds and varieties

Vegetable growers willingly share their impressions about the best varieties of tomatoes. Their experience should be taken into account. However, you need to understand that conditions, agricultural technology and soils are different for everyone. The same variety can show itself differently. It is impossible to say categorically what is bad and what is good. We need to plant.

I really love exotic tomatoes. Of course, I also plant ordinary ones for conservation, but colored ones are my hobby. All the neighbors come to me to look and try. We are organizing a holiday with tomato tasting. I’ve already hooked them up too. It turns out that a lot of us have already gathered. We decided to do everything together, and everyone tests 2-3 new products every year. Thus, we can simultaneously determine the quality of up to 2 dozen varieties. It is very exciting. Blokin-Mechtalin's tomatoes created a sensation in our community. Initially, we did not trust the young handsome man, but Vasily Ivanovich is clearly an expert in selection. The yield of varieties is his strong point. There is a drawback: the seeds are very expensive. But we decided to cooperate, and it turned out well. This year, the Azoyushka tomato was unanimously chosen as the winner. I cut large tomatoes into pieces and rolled them up; in winter we’ll determine what they taste like.
