The best cluster tomatoes for greenhouses and open ground [bunch tomatoes]

Gardeners are increasingly planting tomato varieties on their plots. Most of these plants are intended for planting indoors. They were bred to be grown on a large scale for industrial purposes. But ordinary summer residents also loved them.

The distinctive quality of these tomatoes is that their fruits ripen almost simultaneously. They form a kind of bunch with many tomatoes and are very decorative.

Carpal varieties have a number of advantages:

  • high productivity;
  • good gastronomic qualities;
  • ripened tomatoes do not rot or fall off;
  • can be collected in bunches.

Seeds are planted for seedlings. Sowing time depends on climatic conditions.

Among the raceme tomatoes there are indeterminate (tall) and determinate (short) plants. Indeterminate bushes are formed leaving one main stem. Determinate - in several stems. Tall bushes need to be tied to a trellis or stakes.

The brush of such tomatoes can be simple, intermediate, complex or very complex. There are very few plants with a complex raceme. One bunch can consist of 30-100 tomatoes.

According to the ripening period, tomatoes can be:

  • ultra early ripening 80-85 days;
  • early ripening 90-95 days;
  • mid-season 100-115 days;
  • late ripening 120-130 days.

For areas with a temperate climate, early varieties are better suited. Late-ripening ones can be planted only in the south of Russia, or in greenhouses with additional heating.

Hybrids are considered the best cultivar tomatoes. These tomatoes require a lot of attention. They are high-yielding, the fruits are beautiful, smooth, with shiny skin, transportable, and not susceptible to diseases. In terms of taste, hybrids are not inferior to other varieties. Well kept.

Hybrids are obtained by crossing two species. They are designated by the letter F1 (first generation), obtained by crossing. Hybridization is complex, long manual labor. The seeds of such plants are more expensive.

The best hybrids

Instinct F1

The hybrid is undemanding to lighting and is classified as mid-season and tall. Weight can reach 110 g.

True friends F1

Important! Seeds of hybrid raceme tomatoes cannot be prepared for sowing next year on their own. They can only be purchased in specialized stores.

Hybrids are the best, but we must not forget that when growing them, it is necessary to follow all the rules of agricultural technology. They bear fruit well only with proper care.

Advantages and disadvantages

For pink tomatoes, it is necessary to create certain agricultural conditions. In order for the harvest to be high and the fruits not to crack, you must adhere to the following rules:

  • Pink varieties do not tolerate a lack of moisture, so you should always ensure that the soil is slightly moist. They need regular watering (at least 2 times a week) with warm and settled water. In this case, the liquid should not get on the leaves and stems.
  • It is better to water early in the morning so that diseases do not develop and the tomatoes can better withstand the daytime heat.
  • Due to sudden temperature changes, tomatoes can crack, so the contrast between night and day temperatures should be minimal.
  • Pink tomatoes are more likely to suffer from late blight. Before planting seedlings, it is necessary to disinfect the soil with a solution of potassium permanganate. The De Barao variety is more resistant to late blight.
  • Biological products (Glyokladin, Gamair) are used to prevent diseases.
  • Bushes of large-fruited tomatoes must be tied to a support so that the stems do not break. It is best to organize a trellis 1.5 m high.
  • Pink tomatoes are larger, so they need more nutrients to ripen.
  • It is necessary to regularly carry out pinching and feeding of bushes, as well as loosen the soil.

Tomatoes for greenhouses

For planting under cover, the best tomatoes are the indeterminate type. These are tall plants; under favorable weather conditions they are unlimited in growth, so they need staking.

Semi-determinate species can be grown in a film greenhouse. These are plants that occupy an intermediate position between tall and short-growing tomatoes.

When choosing seeds, you need to pay attention to the form in which the tomatoes will be consumed. The best varieties for preservation are considered to be Cherry Cocktail and Patron. Cherry tomatoes are also good.

Purple candle

Early ripening, productive tomatoes are recommended to be grown indoors. The bush is low, the foliage is average. There are from 8 to 12 fruits on the brush. Form a plant into two stems.

The fruits are long with a “spout”, cylindrical in shape. In the mature stage, crimson in color, not prone to cracking. Pale pink tomatoes can be picked from the bush; they ripen well.

Up to 4 plants can be planted per 1 m2. If you follow the rules of agricultural technology, you can get 8.5–10 kg of fruit from 1 square meter.

Large-fruited

Large-fruited raceme-type tomatoes are hybrids; they bear fruit well even in a greenhouse without heating. The best large-fruited varieties for indoor ground are as follows.

Red red F1

Early ripening, one bunch contains up to 7 tomatoes, its weight reaches up to 500 g. The tomato is tall, one bush produces up to 8 kg.

Chelyabinsk meteorite F1

Low-growing, early ripening, orange-red in color, weighing about 300 g. Intended for fresh consumption.

Spasskaya Tower F1

A cluster variety with an average ripening period, semi-determinate. Weight 200-500 g, quantity per brush – 5-6 pcs. Color – red.

Martez F1

Maryina Roshcha F1

Early ripening, the weight of one cluster is up to 170 g, the number of fruits is up to 9. It tolerates transportation well over long distances.

Attention! Large-fruited raceme tomatoes are considered premium varieties.

Characteristics of tomato varieties

Biological and economic features of raceme tomatoes:

  1. Aligned fruits: the fruits on the cluster practically do not differ in size and shape.
  2. Simultaneous, friendly maturation. Fruits on a cluster reach their technical and biological ripeness almost simultaneously, due to the presence of genes in them that control ripening.
  3. They are distinguished by the strong attachment of the fruit to the stalk of the hand. In cluster form, the fruits are easily transported and stored for a long time without breaking off.
  4. Duration of storage. This is facilitated by the presence of a fairly large amount of pectin in the fruits.
  5. Resistant to cracking. Having a dense pulp structure and a dense peel, the fruits retain their integrity for a long time, without cracking even with a sharp change in temperature and humidity conditions.
  6. Delicious fruits, rich in ascorbic acid, the amount of which not only does not decrease with time, but even increases.

They are grown mainly in protected soil. Plants are almost always tall, indeterminate and require cultivation in a tied form. In open areas, there is a high probability of tomato bushes breaking under the weight of bunches of fruit, especially during periods with strong gusts of wind. In the northern regions, the short growing season does not allow waiting for the brushes to ripen completely in open ground.

Note! When these varieties are grown in open ground, it is possible to reduce the duration and increase the speed of harvesting due to the rapidity of ripening. This is welcome in industrial cultivation.

The point about greenhouse cultivation can also be considered a disadvantage, since not everyone has such an opportunity. And in the southern regions, open ground is a priority. Greenhouses are used mainly to obtain early production.

Specific characteristic

Previously, gardeners also grew so-called cluster tomatoes. But the fruits on them did not ripen at the same time, and also, their size was not the same. After breeders began transforming such varieties, it became possible to pick ripe, juicy fruits at the same time, along with a dense brush that securely holds the tomatoes even during transportation.

The varieties of grape tomatoes cultivated today can be described as follows:

  1. Tomatoes on a bunch ripen almost simultaneously. After the lowermost fruits ripen, the upper ones still retain their presentation and do not lose their taste. A ripe brush can remain on the bush for about a month without reaching the stage of overripeness.
  2. The tomatoes are tightly attached to the branch. They can be collected together with a brush, and even light shaking and transportation over fairly long distances does not cause damage to the stalk. You can be sure that all the tomatoes will remain on the bunch.
  3. Tomatoes are the same size on the same bunch. If their size were different, the overall appearance would suffer, which affects their cost.
  4. Resistance to creases allows you to be sure during fruit filling that the clusters will be intact and the fruits will ripen successfully in the garden.
  5. Carpal varieties of tomatoes are distinguished by their ability to reliably resist cracking of fruits, despite unsuitable weather conditions or insufficient care for them.

In addition, the hybrids created by breeders are characterized by increased productivity, resistance to many types of diseases and pests of tomatoes, as well as early ripening. Another positive feature of such vegetables is that they do not require frequent fruit picking.

Advantages of greenhouse tomato cultivation

Typically, raceme tomatoes are grown in a greenhouse; only some varieties can be grown in the ground, and even those only in the south. Of course, growing tomatoes in greenhouses has a number of disadvantages, but there are also advantages:

  • It is easier to fight diseases and pests in a greenhouse; drugs act more effectively in closed ground conditions;
  • You can exercise full control over the growing conditions. In a greenhouse we are less dependent on weather conditions;
  • Good greenhouses usually allow for two crops;
  • Tall indeterminate tomatoes are best grown in greenhouses - it is easier to tie them up there, and there is no danger that strong winds or an animal will break the fragile stem.

This is especially important for the northern regions, where even early-ripening, low-growing tomatoes do not always have time to ripen in open ground.

Planting and growing

Planting of raceme tomatoes for greenhouses should be early. The seeds must be spread over the surface of the soil, which must first be moistened. This is very important, because drying out of the soil leads to the death of the plant. Next, everything needs to be sprinkled with sand and covered with film to maintain optimal humidity. During the growth of tomatoes, it is important to provide them with the desired temperature regime, minimizing temperature fluctuations day and night.

To grow brush tomatoes, it is important to follow the correct planting and watering algorithm. The first shoots usually appear after five to seven days. Then you will need to remove the film. It is important to constantly maintain soil moisture. After another seven days, the seedling should have its first leaf, after which it will be necessary to plant the seedlings into cups.

Planting in the ground should be done in warm weather to avoid hypothermia. The lowest temperature should not be below ten degrees. It is important to constantly monitor this. But low temperatures are not as dangerous for raceme tomatoes as their sudden and large changes.

Watering and fertilizing

20 days after planting, it will be necessary to apply the first fertilizer. It is necessary to choose complex compositions. Today there is a fairly wide range of high-quality fertilizers for growing tomatoes on sale.

When preparing the soil in a greenhouse, it is important not to overdo it with fertilizers, especially nitrogen-containing ones. This can affect the rapid growth of greenery, to the detriment of the appearance of fruits.

Watering tomatoes should be timely and moderate. Under no circumstances should the soil be allowed to dry out. Feeding should be done at least 4 times a season. It is worth giving preference to fertilizing containing potassium. This is very important, because cluster tomatoes need properly selected fertilizer.

In addition to frequent watering, the soil must be well loosened. This should be done as often as possible. The soil must always be loose. This ensures the necessary humidity. In addition, the soil can be sprinkled with sawdust, this will prevent the soil from drying out. The greenhouse must be ventilated after watering. This will prevent the appearance of fungus that destroys the plant.

Tall, mid-season variety. The brush is original, all hung with tomatoes in the shape of strawberries. The fruits are small, juicy and very sweet, weighing up to 30 grams. Like all hybrids, the variety is resistant to late blight and other diseases.

According to reviews, the tomato of this species retains its varietal characteristics when seeds are replanted from fruits of full maturity. This rare property is not at all characteristic of hybrid varieties of any plant.

Anniversary Tarasenko

I bought the seeds of these tomatoes for 20 rubles. From them I grew bushes 2 meters high. Each cluster contained about 25 fruits of varying weights. The heaviest weighed 300 grams, and the lightest - 80. The color of the fruit is red, rich. Tomatoes have a neat shape and thick skin. Small fruits are ideal for canning, while large ones are best eaten fresh. Among other things, tomatoes of this variety ripen well after harvest.

Pest and disease control

Like all crops, brush tomatoes are susceptible to various diseases and pests. One of the main and dangerous fungal diseases for tomatoes is late blight. Features of the plant damage are brown spots on the leaves. The disease is dangerous because it spreads very quickly and completely destroys the plant.

To avoid diseases such as cladosporiosis, fusarium wilt, and blossom end or root rot, you should choose first-generation hybrids for planting in a greenhouse. But regardless of the chosen variety of tomatoes, fertilizing and fertilizing are mandatory conditions. So, the basic rules that must be followed when growing truss tomatoes:

  • abundant and frequent watering;
  • regular ventilation of greenhouses;
  • frequent loosening of the soil;
  • timely feeding.

Growing the best grape tomatoes is not difficult in the climate of our country. It is important to just follow simple recommendations. Today there are quite a few varieties of this crop. Each type has its own characteristics and strengths. Therefore, before planting, you should familiarize yourself with all the benefits of the plant, its features and tips for growing it. Tasty and beautiful tomatoes are the result of the work of a gardener who does everything right.
