Hybrid tomato varieties are designated f1. When creating a hybrid, breeders always set a specific goal, to improve some characteristic of the tomato.
As a result, varieties appear that are resistant to negative weather conditions and can form an ovary in almost any conditions. They are distinguished by increased immunity and unique productivity, and have a richer, sweeter taste.
Breeders create special salad-type hybrids or for processing and preservation. F1 tomatoes are grown everywhere. Which hybrid variety to choose? What agricultural technology requirements must be met for them?
The most delicious varieties f1
The most delicious are hybrid varieties, which are characterized by a high sugar content in the pulp and a rich aroma. The tomato pulp is watermelon-like, with grains, and juicy.
The skin of the fruit is thin. Large-fruited hybrids and cherry tomatoes often have similar characteristics. It is proposed to study information about f1 tomatoes with enhanced taste characteristics.

The task of gardeners is to reveal attractive taste characteristics in f1 tomatoes. Hybrid plants are not whimsical, but it is necessary to adhere to agrotechnical rules. The large fruit size and quality of the pulp depends on the introduction of fertilizing and watering.
Watering should be moderate. If the soil is moistened frequently, microelements and sugars can be washed out of the pulp. The bed is regularly loosened. Water it when the soil begins to become hard.
3 weeks before harvesting, stop watering and feeding tomatoes. During the ripening period, the pulp accumulates nutrients, sugars, and microelements. The soil is moistened; if the weather becomes hot, the leaves begin to fade.
An adult plant in a greenhouse requires up to 6 liters of water. For seedlings in an open bed in dry weather, more water is poured, up to 8-10 liters.
Sugars accumulate in the pulp under the influence of sunlight. The fruits open and turn towards the sun. The bed is laid out in a well-lit area.

Leaves are removed near the cluster of berries, which greatly shade the fruit, but the intensity of ultraviolet radiation must always be taken into account. Perhaps the seedlings need additional protection to prevent leaf and berry burns.
The largest hybrid varieties
To grow heavy tomatoes in a garden plot, choose varieties that have this characteristic. When creating a hybrid, breeders took into account not only the taste of the fruit, but also its large size. Gardeners can only unlock the potential of the tomato.
Bityug - marketable weight 190-227 g. In practice, gardeners receive tomatoes 250-300 g. The largest tomato of this variety weighed 3 kg 100 g when grown in a summer greenhouse.

To achieve large-fruited tomatoes, fertilizing is introduced. You should not apply fertilizer randomly. Excess nutrients cause signs of fattening in plants. Fruiting takes a long time, the fruits do not reveal their potential.
Primo Red – 250-350 g, up to 600 g. Productivity 6 kg/plant. Ultra early, 65 days. The plant is determinate, suitable for all regions, for open ground. The berry is round, with a smooth surface, fleshy, red in color.
In order for hybrid tomatoes to display their characteristics, it is necessary to follow certain agricultural practices for them. The bush is formed, the stepsons are pruned. All vegetation is removed down to the lower brush. The leaves are also cut off near the brush. No more than 2 stems are grown per seedling. They are cut off when 4-5 brushes appear.
For open ground
In an open garden bed, determinate plants are most often grown, which stop growing at a height of 70-100 m. Seedlings can reach 45-50 cm. They are formed and tied to a peg.
The top of the head is not trimmed. A determinate tomato is distinguished by uniform yield. Indeterminate varieties are grown on trellises. In open ground they show reduced yield.

For protected ground
Tall, indeterminate varieties are grown in summer greenhouses and in film tunnels. No more than 2 bushes are planted per 1 m2. Plants are pinched and tied up. When the ovary appears on the bush, fertilizing with complex fertilizers that contain boron and magnesium is introduced:

Indeterminate plants need to be hilled up. The seedlings are sprinkled for the first time 3 weeks after planting in the ground. Repeated hilling is carried out after 2 weeks. The stem is covered with soil; it produces lateral shoots that provide better nutrition to the tomatoes.
Seeds of hybrid tomatoes are not collected for subsequent seasons. The second generation may have distinctive characteristics from the varietal description.
Tomatoes go into leaves or form ugly fruits. Seed material for hybrids is purchased from the manufacturer annually.
There is an opinion that hybrid tomatoes do not differ in taste characteristics. Gardeners in practice refute this opinion. There are special lines for salads, for pickling, and for processing. When choosing a growing method, follow the recommendations from the manufacturer.
