Tomato varieties for 2022: the best producers

• Vendor code. The company has been on the market for quite a long time (since 1990), but its name is not familiar to everyone. The lack of advertising is partly to blame here, however, the company’s clients almost unanimously note the high quality of the seeds.

Tomato varieties for growing in central Russia with descriptions and characteristics

Among the thousands of varieties known for their high yields, heat-tolerance and resistance to low temperatures, those tomatoes that rarely get sick and bear fruit throughout the summer season are especially popular.

The earliest varieties of tomatoes

Tomatoes that begin to ripen 85–90 days after planting can be safely classified as early ripening. But some specimens are able to please with the harvest after 75–80 days.

According to experienced summer residents, the determinate variety Lyubasha is the earliest tomato for the regions of Central Russia. 68–72 days after sowing, the tomatoes are already turning red. At the ripe stage, the fruits gain 140 g, the average weight is up to 100 g. Sugary fruits with a thick skin are universal in consumption. The plant reaches 1–1.2 m, it must be tied up and periodically pruned. The variety is tolerant to late blight and blossom end rot.

The yield of Lyubasha tomatoes can reach 20 kg per square meter

Alpha is a standard variety, the first ripened fruits of which are picked 65–70 days after the appearance of the first shoots, due to which it rarely suffers from late blight. Alpha’s tomatoes have good taste, are round, deep red, and gain weight up to 60–80 g; from 1 m2 you can harvest about 6.2 kg. The bush grows no more than 50 cm and does not require pinching.

The ultra-early determinate variety Alpha is irreplaceable in salads and slices

The sweet and sour fruits of the Spring Round Dance variety with dense pulp can be tasted 85–90 days after germination (weigh 80–120 g). One plant can produce about 4–4.5 kg/m2, a salad variety, but also well suited for canning and juicing. Determinate tomato reaches 0.8–1 m; without support, productive bushes cannot stand.

A universal tomato with a memorable name is quite hardy, rarely suffers from diseases, dampness and sudden cold weather.

Another determinant is Irishka, a productive (up to 8–11 kg/m2) and unpretentious tomato for open ground. Often medium-sized fruits weigh 50–95 g; smooth, juicy and very tasty - there is no shame in putting them in a salad or in a jar. Irishka grows no higher than 50 cm, rarely suffers from tobacco mosaic and tolerates drought well.

It’s impossible not to fall in love with the beautiful fruits of the Irishka variety

A gardener's dream - tomatoes fully live up to their name. This variety has small (60–70 cm) bushes, and the yield reaches 10–12 kg/m2; high immunity and shelf life - these qualities are primarily noticed by users. Tomatoes can weigh up to 160 g.

Even in rainy summers, the determinate variety Gardener's Dream always has a pleasant taste with sweetish notes.

Limited in growth (determinants), bushes of the Sanka variety grow no higher than 50–60 cm. With a yield of 6–7 kg/m2, already 50 days after planting the seedlings, the weight of the fruit can be more than 100 g. These tomatoes are loved for their strong immunity (increased resistance to late blight) and smooth ripening. The one-dimensional fruits with a thick skin do not burst when preserved and are perfectly resistant to transportation over long distances.

The low-growing variety Sanka does not require pinching and bush formation

Hybrid Pink Miracle with deep crimson fruits grows up to 0.8–1 m. The tomato ripens quickly (85–90 days after sowing) and is unpretentious; The fruits are large (100–120 g each), universal in use. Productivity is about 7 kg/m2. The only drawback of the variety is that it does not tolerate transportation well, but with preventive treatments it practically does not deteriorate from bacteriosis and blossom end rot. Tomato belongs to the determinant type of plant.

Pink miracle is grown in open ground and in a greenhouse

Start is an ultra-early variety, the first harvest appears on the 67–75th day from the moment of sowing. The weight of tomatoes is 90–120 g, the maximum yield is up to 6, and sometimes 12 kg/m2. Start is universal in consumption, stores well and is resistant to root rot.

Tall hybrid Start (up to 1.8 m) of determinant type tolerates drought well and rarely gets sick

Among the early ones, the Sanka variety was grown in 2016. Low-growing bushes with small tomatoes at first seemed like a bad choice, fortunately there were only 6 bushes. But when the fruits began to turn red and plump, a new ovary appeared on the tops, such babies were completely unexpectedly blessed with an amazing harvest. True, I even tied up the shoots that did not reach the knees, since the massive clusters were simply bursting with juicy fruits.

The most popular mid-season varieties for universal use

Among tomatoes that ripen in mid-summer, especially noteworthy are varieties that became known more than 10 years ago. Mid-season tomatoes ripen 90–100 days after planting. Below we describe in detail the most popular varieties of this group.

Those who have planted the Gina variety at least once talk about the amazing yield and unpretentiousness of the tomato. On low bushes (40–50 cm), up to a dozen tomatoes from 100 to 280 g can ripen by the end of July. The average yield is from 3 to 5 kg/m2. The juicy fruits of the determinate variety are used for harvesting, juice and freezing.

From the first days, Jin's tomatoes earned people's love due to the fact that they do not “catch” sores

Gourmand is an early-ripening tomato with hundred-gram fruits. The plant does not grow higher than 0.7 m, the yield is up to 6–7 kg/m2. The low-growing variety is not afraid of sudden changes in temperature. These tomatoes have earned their name for a reason - they are the first to be added to stews, baked goods and first courses.

The determinate type gourmet does not suffer from crown rot or late blight even in unfavorable weather.

The yield of the Yamal variety (Yamal 200) even in cool summers is not lower than 4.5–5 kg/m2. This tomato is chosen for its appetizing fruits, whose skin does not crack, and the flesh remains aromatic and sweet even during storage. Its low bushes (25–30 cm) are classified as determinate plants. The average fruit weight is 120 g. Yamal is shade-tolerant and is rarely affected by fungal diseases.

Yamal is valued not only in Central Russia; it is successfully grown in Siberia and the southern regions

The fruits of the Dachnik variety range from 100 to 160 g. Moderate sourness and juicy pulp are the main value of these tomatoes; they are put in marinades and salted, frozen and prepared as dressings. The determinate plant reaches 70–80 cm. The variety bears fruit until frost; it is not afraid of gray rot, bacteriosis and dry spotting.

Up to 9 kg per square meter - an excellent indicator for the Summer Resident tomato

Explosion (a growth-limited variety) reaches no more than 0.5–0.6 m, and the fruits in a mature state gain 80–100 g. The tomato rarely suffers from blossom end rot and late blight, and is not afraid of drought. The explosion is considered a salad, great for processing.

Approximately 4–4.5 kg per square meter for the Vzryv variety - average yield

Hybrid Tarasenko No. 7 - it is not in official sources (in the State Register), but for many gardeners it has been the standard of tomato varieties for more than 10 years. Tomatoes bred by Feodosius Tarasenko reach 1 m and do not require pinching. Semi-determinate tomato (at a certain stage - at 10-12 flower clusters - growth is limited) is characterized by uniform fruiting and high immunity to nightshade diseases. “Cream” weighing 80–90 g is canned and eaten fresh. In good years, 12–14 kg/m2 is harvested.

Tomatoes of the Hybrid Tarasenko 7 variety do not crack and are shelf-stable

The heat-loving variety Mikado pink was created more than 40 years ago. During this time, the tomato has learned to adapt to any weather conditions; the variety produces a yield of up to 12–14 kg/m2. Mikado fruits reach 700 g (average weight 150–200 g), quickly gain sugar and store well. Indeterminate tomato is also resistant to root rot and late blight.

The fruits of the tall variety Mikado pink (reaches 2.5 m) are characterized by a high sugar content

Oval Rocket tomato fruits are good for canning in jars

Of all the classic tomatoes that bear fruit in our Black Earth Region, our favorites are Gina and Yamal. Their versatility, unpretentiousness and productivity have not been eclipsed by any new product. They react absolutely painlessly to temperature changes, the harvest is always at its best, and these varieties are the last to be affected by late blight if cold weather suddenly sets in in August. The fruits are one-dimensional, store well and practically do not spoil on the bushes.

How do varieties differ from hybrids and which ones are better for planting?

In his gardening activities, a person often encounters two concepts, knowledge of which can lead to the correct or incorrect choice of seeds, and therefore to a good or not very good harvest. These concepts are “variety” and “hybrid”.

A variety is a collection of plants that are similar in biological, morphological and economic characteristics.

A hybrid (F1) is a plant obtained from crossing two or more plants, combining the characteristics of several generations of parent individuals. Typically, a hybrid is not characterized by stable characteristics and is capable of producing a good harvest only in the first offspring.

In different regions of our country, it is better to plant “our own” – zoned varieties, which are conventionally divided into several groups:

• high-yielding;
• the most delicious;
• short;
• tall;
• resistant to various diseases;
• the largest;

Let's look at the tomato varieties of these groups that are grown in the Urals, Siberia and central Russia, for which early and mid-early low-growing varieties are best suited for cultivation.

Heat-resistant tomatoes

If there is even the slightest chance that there will be heat during the tomato growing period, then you should learn more about heat-resistant varieties.

Ramses F1

This variety must be grown indoors. The growing season is 110 days. The fruits are round in shape, slightly pointed at the bottom. They are dense and red when ripe. One tomato weighs 140 g. From 1 m2 you can get 13 kg of ripe tomatoes. The variety is resistant to pathogenic microorganisms.

Portland F1

This is a mid-early hybrid variety whose bush height is 1.5 m. The growing season is 110 days. The variety is characterized by high yield and smooth ripening of vegetables. From one bush you can get up to 5 kg of tomatoes. The fruits are round and weigh 110 g. The variety is distinguished by its ability to form the ovary well during sudden temperature changes. The formation of a bush is carried out in one stem. The plant is resistant to pathogenic microflora.

Verlioka plus F1

The variety is early ripening and high-yielding. Differs in friendly maturation. The height of the bush is 180 cm, it needs tying up. Formation occurs in 1 stem. There will be up to 10 ovaries on one hand.

The tomatoes weigh 130 g and are large. They have a thick skin, which makes the vegetables resistant to cracking. The variety is resistant to short-term drought and sudden temperature changes.

The choice of tomatoes for growing in central Russia is quite wide. Here every gardener will be able to find the most successful and high-yielding one for himself. In this case, you need to take into account such points as fruit weight, plant height, disease resistance and taste.

Features of growing tomato variety Vologda F1 and its description

Many gardeners try to grow hybrids on their plots, for example, the Vologda tomato. They differ from conventional varieties in their high yield and greater resistance to many diseases. They are obtained as a result of artificial crossing of two varieties.

Typically, packages of hybrid seeds are marked with the F1 symbol. The only thing that is impractical for them is to collect seeds and sow them the next year, since all the maternal qualities of the plant will be lost.

You will have to purchase new seeds every year from specialized stores.

Among the hybrids, the tomato variety Vologda F1 enjoys attention

Description of the variety

Vologda F1 is a mid-season variety. From germination to fruiting there are 110 days. The variety is intended for cultivation in film or glass greenhouses. It can have different heights, the maximum reaches 2 meters.

The fruits are collected in a cluster of 6–8 fruits. The leaves are medium in size and dark green in color. The first inflorescences begin to appear above the 10th leaf. The fruits are medium-sized, their weight is from 100 - 110 grams, the color is red, the tomatoes do not crack, and have a durable film. Well attached to the stalk. When the bush matures, it holds tightly and does not fall to the ground.

Tomatoes are distinguished by their taste, contain a sufficient amount of sugar, and are sweetish. Suitable for home and industrial canning and salad preparation.

Breeding Features

Vologda tomatoes are grown in seedlings. The seeds are sown at the end of February. It is advisable to first soak them in water and treat them in a solution of potassium permanganate. Then sow in ready-made moist soil for tomatoes and peppers, purchased at the store. Cover the soil with film and place in a warm place.

In about a week the seeds will sprout. When the first true leaves grow, it is recommended to pick. To do this, it is advisable to choose disposable cups. To extend daylight hours, it is recommended to illuminate the seedlings with a fluorescent lamp. When the plants are 55–60 days old, they must be transplanted into a permanent place in the greenhouse, following a 40x60 cm pattern.

A prerequisite for care is loosening the soil, especially after watering the plants. To increase the yield of tomatoes, it is recommended to loosen and slightly lift the soil up to the first leaves so that an additional root system begins to form.

In the middle zone, tomato seedlings are planted in early May. After some time, the plants need to be tied to a support and fertilized 2 times a month. In the future, they try to form the plant so that there is one stem; when the maximum height is reached, the top is pinched.

This type of procedure is recommended to be done in August. Until approximately August, abundant watering is carried out; at the beginning of August, irrigation is reduced; towards the end of the month, watering is stopped completely.

Advantages of the variety

The advantage of this tomato hybrid is its resistance to many diseases. Tobacco mosaic, fusarium, and cladosporiosis are not dangerous to it. Unfortunately, like all other tomatoes, it can suffer from late blight. The hybrid is characterized by high productivity. With good care, up to 5 kg of tomatoes ripen on one plant.

To obtain high yields, suitable climatic and weather conditions are important. Reviews of Vologda F1 tomatoes are mostly positive

With proper care, most gardeners get high yields and are satisfied with this variety.

Vologda F1 tomatoes are also convenient because they are easy to transport. The fruits have the most convenient size for canning, so we recommend growing them on site.

Transplanting seedlings into the ground

Seedlings ready for planting have 5-7 true leaves and a strong, non-stretched stem.

In open ground

The beds for planting must be prepared in advance. Since spring in the middle zone is often quite damp as a result of prolonged snow melting, it is more convenient to prepare the beds in the fall.

Soil preparation

In autumn, the soil at the site of future planting is freed from weeds and fertilizers are distributed over its surface:

• humus in the amount of 1-2 buckets per 1 m2;
• ash - 2-3 l/m2;
• superphosphate - 40-60 g/m2.

After this, the bed is dug up to the depth of a spade bayonet or plowed over.

Warm beds

In the northern part of the middle zone, so-called warm beds are popular when growing tomatoes. They are done as follows:

1. In autumn, a hole 30-40 cm deep is dug along the perimeter of the bed.
2. A layer of coarse organic matter (old boards, chopped branches, corn or sunflower stalks, etc.) is placed at the bottom of the pit.
3. The second layer is laid with smaller organic waste - wood chips, small branches after pruning, vegetable tops (without signs of disease), paper, cardboard.
4. The third layer consists of fallen leaves, hay, straw, sunflower husks, etc. This layer can be 10-20 cm above ground level.
5. The top of the bed is sprinkled with a layer of chernozem and watered with water.

When organic matter overheats, heat is released, which contributes to better growth of tomatoes in the cold spring.

When organic matter overheats in warm beds, heat is released, which contributes to better growth of tomatoes in the cold spring.

Landing dates

Tomatoes are usually transplanted into open ground in the first half of May. Since return frosts cannot yet be ruled out at this time, it is better to cover the beds with spunbond or film for the first time.

Planting schemes

The most successful scheme for planting tomatoes is considered to be a two-line ribbon. In this case, 2 rows of tomatoes are placed on a bed 1 meter wide with a distance of 50 cm between them. The interval between the bushes depends on the variety and ranges from 30 to 60 cm, and it is better to place them in a checkerboard pattern. Low-growing dwarf tomatoes can be placed in three rows on the same bed.

A two-line tape pattern for planting tomatoes is considered optimal for open ground.

Crop rotation

It is not advisable to plant tomatoes in areas where they were previously grown:

• potato;
• eggplant;
• pepper.

The best predecessors are considered:

• green manure;
• legumes;
• greenery;
• carrot;
• radish;
• beet.

Since I installed stationary supports for tall tomatoes on my plot, it became impossible for me to carry out crop rotation. In order to prevent the occurrence of fungal diseases, after harvesting, I treat the soil with Fitosporin, and to replenish nutrients in the fall, when digging, I add increased doses of humus (up to two or three buckets per 1 m2).

To the greenhouse

Planting tomato seedlings in a greenhouse has its own characteristics.

Preparing the beds

This is best done in the fall. If the soil under the greenhouse is quite loose and fertile, then you can limit yourself to applying fertilizers and digging, just like in open ground. But often the beds in the greenhouse are made high or combined. To do this, a hole 20-30 cm deep is dug along their perimeter (if the soil is fertile, then there is no need to dig a hole), and a fence also 20-30 cm high is installed above the ground level. The resulting volume is filled with a nutrient mixture, which can be prepared, for example, by this recipe:

• imported chernozem - 3 parts;
• peat - 1 part;
• humus or compost - 1 part;
• coarse river sand - 1 part.

Additionally, 40-60 g of superphosphate and 2-3 liters of wood ash are added per 1 m2 of bed. If desired, you can also arrange a warm bed in the greenhouse.

High beds are often installed in the greenhouse

Landing dates

Tomato seedlings are planted in an unheated spring-summer greenhouse in the middle - end of April, and for autumn rotation - in late May - early June.

Planting schemes

They depend on the size of the greenhouse. When planning the placement of tomatoes, one should proceed from the standard planting density recommended for a particular variety, ease of maintenance and rational use of space. For example, you can place one row along the walls of the greenhouse and two rows in its center. If the width allows, then you can use a regular two- or three-line tape scheme.

Schemes for planting tomatoes in a greenhouse are chosen depending on its size and variety of tomatoes.

Combined plantings

Tomatoes are often planted in the same greenhouse with cucumbers, but it is better not to do this if possible. The fact is that cucumbers require higher humidity than tomatoes and it is not possible to satisfy the needs of these crops at the same time. But peppers and eggplants can easily be grown together with tomatoes, since they have the same requirements for temperature and humidity.

Middle zone conditions

For the development of any garden crop, a certain combination of weather factors and soil conditions is required. Some of these conditions are provided naturally, while others have to be created artificially. If the plant under such circumstances produces a consistent good yield and is not susceptible to too many diseases, it can be considered suitable for cultivation.

Various tomatoes

The middle zone means the central European part of Russia. It is distinguished by a temperate continental climate and forest vegetation.

Somewhat arbitrary, but the characteristics of this zone include:

• snowy, moderately frosty winter - the temperature rarely drops below -30, the average is -8 C, so most cold-resistant plants tolerate it well. However, heat-loving perennial plants must be covered;
• late spring – conventionally begins in mid-April. However, until mid-May, short-term frosts on the soil or air and sudden temperature changes are observed. This is the most dangerous moment for seedlings. As a rule, heat-loving tomatoes are grown in greenhouses because of this, or at least provided with a film covering at night;
• humid, warm summer - there are usually no problems with watering, but not too long a summer is an obstacle to growing late-ripening tomatoes. In the middle zone it is better to plant early tomatoes.

The best varieties of tomatoes for the middle zone are therefore cold-resistant, early-ripening, productive and moderately heat-loving plants. Breeders have created many suitable options, both varietal and hybrid.

The largest

They are characterized by large fruits, which may be inferior in taste, for example, to the amount of sugar, but at the same time have a fleshy consistency, cut into pieces without releasing abundant juice; several bushes of these varieties should be kept in each bed.

Ural

Care

The main stages of caring for tomatoes are the same for both open ground and greenhouses.

Watering

There is one general rule for tomatoes of all varieties, which applies in any region. According to this rule, tomatoes should be watered abundantly at the time of transplanting seedlings into the ground, and then stop watering for 3-4 weeks. As a result, the roots of the tomatoes will actively grow and develop in search of water. After this time, watering is resumed at intervals of 7-10 days (in extreme heat, 5-7 days). In this case, water is supplied into grooves 10-15 cm deep, formed at a distance of 15-20 cm from the stems on both sides of the row. You need to know that tomatoes are watered rarely, but abundantly. Their roots grow deeply (in some varieties more than one meter), so the soil can dry out to a depth of 5-7 cm. But waterlogging and stagnation of water, which can often be observed in the northern regions of the middle zone, should not be allowed. Drip irrigation systems can be used to water tomatoes, which significantly reduces the labor intensity of the process.

Drip irrigation systems can be used to water tomatoes, which significantly reduces the labor intensity of the process.

Growing tomatoes without watering

In the middle zone, where summer rains are frequent, it is quite possible to do without watering. This is permissible on moisture-intensive soils (chernozems, loams). If the roots of tomatoes are well developed, then they can independently extract moisture from deep layers. Watering may be necessary in cases where the intervals between rainfalls exceed 1 month and the weather is hot, dry. With this method of cultivation, it is necessary to mulch the soil to prevent moisture evaporation and drying out of the soil. For this you can use:

• straw;
• hay;
• peat (not sour);
• sunflower husk;
• humus, etc.

I have been using this method for three years - the tomato bushes are powerful and strong, the foliage is juicy and rich in color. When the fruits grow to medium size, I begin to water the plants once a week.

Top dressing

Early ripening determinate varieties of tomatoes do not require additional fertilizing if the soil is properly prepared. This is explained by the fact that the fruits are harvested quite early and the plants do not have time to use up the nutrition provided before planting. But mid-season and late-ripening tomatoes need to be fertilized periodically. The first time this is done 3-4 weeks after planting, simultaneously with the first watering. At this time, plants need nitrogen fertilizers to ensure the growth of green mass and stem growth. Organic infusions (mullein, chicken droppings, freshly cut grass) that you can prepare yourself are best suited for this. The next feeding, which is carried out after 2 weeks, should contain phosphorus and potassium (for example, potassium monophosphate at a rate of 10-20 g/m2). Subsequently, fertilizing is repeated at intervals of 2-3 weeks, alternating nitrogen with potassium-phosphorus.

Shaping, pinching, trimming, garter

Tall determinate and all indeterminate varieties of tomatoes require gartering of stems, shaping of bushes and removal of shoots.

To garter tomatoes, trellises or crossbars with hanging cords are installed in advance. Tall tomatoes are usually formed with 1-3 stems:

• to form into 1 stem, simply remove all the stepsons formed during the growth process once a week;
• to get the second stem, leave a stepson growing from the axil of the leaf located under the first flower raceme;
• For the third stem, one more of the basal stepsons is additionally left.

  Tall tomatoes usually form 1-3 stems

For all tomatoes, the lower leaves located up to the first flower cluster are gradually cut out in order to improve ventilation. Do this early in the morning so that the wounds dry out by evening, removing no more than one or two leaves from the bush at a time.

Features of caring for tomatoes in a greenhouse

In addition to the listed stages of care in the greenhouse, it is necessary to monitor temperature, humidity and illumination, and, if necessary, adjust them using the methods described above.
