20 Best Heat and Drought Tolerant Tomato Varieties
Which varieties are less susceptible to disease?
Late blight can bypass early and mid-ripening tomatoes. These are the ones whose fruits ripen by the middle or at least the end of July. Low varieties and hybrids are also less susceptible to late blight.
Dubok , which belongs to the category of low-growing tomatoes, is not afraid of late blight These miniature tomatoes are so named because near each stalk there is a small green spot, shaped like an oak leaf.
Cardinal
Tall, juicy, fleshy and truly gigantic tomatoes have a lot of advantages. The variety is resistant to various diseases and infections, and is stored much better than most large-fruited competitors.

For closed ground
Modern hybrids with complex disease resistance exhibit the greatest resistance to late blight.
Zhenaros F1
A mid-early Dutch hybrid, tolerant to late blight at the genetic level, bears fruit well in greenhouses near Moscow. Plants are not damaged by nematodes, viruses, verticillium blight, cladosporiosis, fusarium blight. Medium-sized, weakly leafy bushes set fruit even at elevated temperatures and other extreme conditions. The tomatoes are round-flat, very dense, bright scarlet, weighing 200-280 g. The hybrid is characterized by excellent transportability. Productivity is high.
Red Army F1
Important features of this early-ripening Russian hybrid are good resistance to late blight and decent yield (about 20 kg per 1 sq. m). The stem is strong, standard, not too long (one meter high, semi-determinate type), but due to the close internodes, at least 5-6 inflorescences are formed on it. The average fruit size is 170 g. Scarlet tomatoes are distinguished by their increased density and are stored ripe for about 20 days, without losing quality and maintaining their presentation.
Magnus F1
An early ripening tomato of Dutch origin resists late blight fungus at the gene level. The hybrid is not afraid of other harmful organisms - viruses, nematodes, verticillium, fusarium. Fruitful plants have increased cold resistance. On medium-sized bushes, red fruits with strong shiny skin and dense pulp ripen together. The shape of the tomatoes is spherical, with slight ribbing; the average weight is 150 g. Ripe tomatoes are stored for one and a half to two weeks.
Matissimo F1
The newest Dutch beef tomato has comprehensive resistance to tomato diseases. Amicable early ripening occurs even with a lack of heat and light. Rich red glossy tomatoes fill up to 250 g and never burst. Transportability and productivity are at the highest level.
Blueberry
is a non-hybrid variety of American selection with burgundy-purple fruits. Indeterminate bushes are not damaged by diseases. It takes about three months from germination to ripening of tomatoes. Elongated clusters bear 6-8 round tomatoes weighing 150-180 g. The dark pulp, rich in anthocyanins, has a unique sweet-spicy taste and bright aroma.

For greenhouses and outdoor beds
Vegetable growers in the Moscow region have accumulated practical experience in selecting disease-resistant tomatoes. As a rule, these are plants with dense fruits or strong immunity at the genetic level.
Katya F1
Agro promises this hybrid’s tolerance to many pathologies: late blight, tomato mosaic virus, Alternaria blight, blossom end rot, skin cracking. Medium-leafed, not too tall bushes are strewn with spherical fruits 100-130 g in size. Each cluster bears 7-8 strong tomatoes with a dessert sweet and sour taste. Tomatoes begin to turn red on the 75th day of the growing season, yielding in a short time over 100 kg from a ten-meter bed.
Summer Garden F1
An ultra-early hybrid with dense orange-scarlet tomatoes is offered by St. Petersburg seed. A low bush 35 cm high produces 3-4 clusters bearing 5-8 round fruits weighing about 100 g. If you pluck out the stepsons below the first ovary in time, the tomatoes will ripen completely in the open air. You can actually get 2.5-3 kg of vegetables from one plant.
Lyubasha F1
The selection indicates that this early ripening hybrid does not suffer from late blight, Alternaria blight, or tobacco mosaic. Strong round fruits do not crack or are damaged by blossom end rot. The inflorescences bear 7-8 ovaries, which fill up to 120-140 g. The ripening of tomatoes begins 80-85 days after germination. The skin and pulp are rich red, the taste is dessert. Solid yield for an early variety (up to 11 kg per 1 sq. m) is achieved due to dense planting (50 bushes per 10 sq. m) and formation of 3-4 stems.
Mirishta F1
The hybrid cherry tomato from Agro has complex resistance to dangerous diseases - late blight, verticillium, Fusarium wilt and Fusarium root rot, Alternaria. Peduncles on the main stem begin to emerge very early - already from the axil of the 4th leaf. Compact bushes with dense foliage are prone to abundant formation of lateral branches, on which fruit clusters also quickly form. In each inflorescence, 5-7 spherical tomatoes weighing 20-25 g ripen. A square meter of plantings yields 5-6 kg of dense and tasty orange-colored fruits, rich in carotene vitamins.

Dwarf Mongol (Mongolian dwarf)
This original “fashionable” tomato for “lazy” gardeners is grown without staking or shaping. One can hardly expect record yields from it (as advertising sometimes promises), but the variety is really unpretentious and disease-resistant. For 1 sq. m is advised to place 1-2 plants, mulching the soil under them. The tomato rises up only 0.3 m and grows a mass of side shoots after laying two or three inflorescences. The bush spreads out wide, spreading on the ground or on a circular stand. In the early stages, 3-5 red round-flat tomatoes are poured into the brushes. Individual tomatoes weigh 150-200 g, the average weight is estimated at 80-100 g. The pulp is juicy, with an ordinary taste. Each bush produces more than 2 kg of fruit.
Moscow ultra-early ripening
An early ripening late blight resistant variety, patented by agro, does not need to be pinched. In open ground, spreading bushes up to 0.7 m high develop. 6-7 spherical tomatoes of an intense red hue are knitted in clusters. The weight of tomatoes is 115-135 g. The taste has a balance of acidity and sweetness, pleasant both in fresh salads and in preparations.
Prima Donna F1
Agro characterizes the hybrid as not susceptible to diseases such as viral mosaic, root rot, Alternaria blight, blossom end rot and fruit cracking, and late blight. Powerful stems grow to a height of 0.7-0.9 m. Plants enter the fruiting phase 3 months after emergence, putting forward the first peduncle in the fifth or sixth internode. Semi-determinate bushes are capable of producing 7-8 clusters of attractive, heart-shaped, raspberry-red tomatoes. The fruits are equal in weight (180-200 g). Under the thick skin lies a rich pulp with a dessert taste. The hybrid grows successfully both in the open air and in greenhouses.
Rose F1
Early ripening (90 days) cherry is not affected by late blight, cladosporiosis, fusarium, verticillium, mosaic virus, or fruit blossom end rot.

In the modern hybrid of breeder Yu. I. Panchev (Transnistria), high resistance to late blight is inherent at the genetic level. Plants are also not affected by Alternaria and viral mosaic. Bushes 0.7-0.8 m high begin to produce crops on the 80th day of the growing season. Fruiting is long lasting. Seasonal return from 10 sq. m can reach up to 150 kg. Red spherical tomatoes are collected in brushes of 5-7 pieces. Leveled fruits weigh 80-90 g. They are durable and transportable, for universal use. The hybrid is recommended to be grown both in the open ground of the Moscow region and in greenhouses.
Features of tomatoes resistant to late blight
To prevent planted vegetables from getting sick, it is recommended to plant blight-resistant varieties that have strong immunity. The characteristics and descriptions of such tomatoes will allow you to understand their main features.
It is worth noting that there are no plants that are 100% likely not to become infected with late blight. So far, breeders have managed to develop tomato varieties that are better protected from this pathology than others. However, there is still a small chance of infection with a fungus.
Many experienced gardeners claim that the most resistant are determinate, low-growing tomatoes with early harvest ripening.
Their main features include the following:
- the bushes have few side stems, which is why they are better ventilated;
- high productivity;
- long fruiting;
- slow growth after the appearance of the third ovary.
There are also indeterminate tomatoes that rarely suffer from fungal pathologies, but there are much fewer of them.
How dangerous is late blight for tomatoes and what causes it?
Late blight is a dangerous disease that leads to the death of tomato bushes. To promptly identify this disease, it is necessary to periodically inspect the seedlings. Late blight manifests itself in the form of small dark spots that appear on the leaves. At first, the pathology affects only the lower part of the plants, but gradually spots appear on the upper leaves. After a few days, symptoms will appear on tomato fruits. Due to late blight, seals will appear under their skin, which will gradually increase in size and darken.
The main danger of the fungus is that its spores quickly spread and multiply. Therefore, it is recommended to promptly get rid of infected plants.
There are several reasons why pathology appears:
- increased humidity levels;
- low temperature;
- lack of sunlight;
- lack of nutrients in the soil;
- the growth of weeds in the garden.
