Growing tomatoes in the open field is often ungrateful! Because even with the perfect choice of a place to plant, where both the lighting and the composition of the soil are taken into account, you can not get a good harvest. And all because the variety of tomatoes did not match the climatic conditions of the summer, or the cold caused all sorts of early diseases of the plant, or decided to grow a tomato from its seeds and for some reason did not work.
The reasons may be many! But still? How to grow a good crop of your favorite vegetable in the open field, which varieties are better to plant? But first decide what you want to grow: a variety or hybrid of a tomato, then buy seeds and take care of the plant.
How are varieties different from hybrids and which ones are better for planting?
In his gardening activity, a person often encounters two concepts, the knowledge of which can lead to the right or wrong choice of seeds, and therefore, to a good or not very good crop. These concepts are "variety" and "hybrid".
Hybrid (F1) is a plant obtained by crossing two or more plants, combining signs of several generations of parental individuals. Usually, the hybrid is not distinguished by the stability of its characteristics and is able to produce 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;
- undersized;
- tall;
- resistant to various diseases;
- the largest;
- self pollinated
Consider the tomato varieties of these groups, which are grown in the Urals, Siberia and Central Russia, for which early and medium early low varieties are best suited for growing.
