In order to collect excellent harvest tomatoes, it is not enough to prepare the optimal conditions for their cultivation. An equally important condition is the careful selection of planting material. So, some varieties ripen better in open ground, others - in a greenhouse. Among themselves, they are also subdivided according to the degree of yield, fruit size, etc.

Before you buy material for planting, you should decide what the tomato crop will be used for. It is quite difficult to independently determine the best varieties, it can take more than one decade. It is much faster and easier to use the experience of other gardeners.

11 best varieties of tomatoes for the greenhouse - our rating

Features of growing tomatoes in a greenhouse

Caring for tomatoes is a prerequisite for a good harvest. It is important to carry out watering and airing in a timely manner and not to forget about pollination.

Already on the 12th day after transferring the seedlings to the greenhouse soil, the tomatoes must be watered. Be sure to take into account the norms of watering, as this plant does not tolerate wet soil. So, before flowering, 4 liters of water per square meter are considered the norm. During the formation of fruits - 12 liters. It should be borne in mind that t of water should vary between 22-24 degrees. Tomatoes should be watered every 5-6 days. High humidity in the greenhouse can interfere with the pollination process.

In addition to natural pollination, mechanical pollination must also be carried out. To do this, in sunny weather, shake the blooming inflorescences during the day. After pollination, you need to ventilate the greenhouse and spray the flowers.

Ventilation is an important part of tomato care. The greenhouse must be equipped with vents. Sudden changes in temperature can harm seedlings. So, it is desirable that during the day the air temperature is at the level of 22 ° C, at night - at least 20 ° C. With the onset of flowering and fruit ripening, the temperature in the greenhouse should be increased by several degrees, but not higher than 27 ° C.

Observing simple conditions, you can get an excellent harvest from tomatoes of the best varieties.

Due to the fact that the tomato is a light-loving vegetable, it will be quite difficult to get a good harvest without a greenhouse. Moreover, the greenhouse itself must be properly positioned - the chosen place must be well lit, the rays of the sun must enter the structure throughout the daylight hours. Otherwise, you can forget about a full-fledged harvest.

So, today we will tell you how to grow tomatoes in a greenhouse, get acquainted with step by step instructions and consider important points process.

The peculiarity of growing this crop in greenhouse conditions is that even when using a conventional film structure, the crop will be almost 2.5 times more than if vegetables were grown in open soil. And if we add to this earlier fruit ripening (at least 2 weeks) even in an unheated greenhouse, as well as increased resistance to late blight, it becomes obvious why the yield in this case becomes more solid.

Seedlings - how to grow

Perhaps the most important stage of the whole process is the cultivation of seedlings. And it is not surprising, because the yield depends on how developed and strong the seedlings are! Seedlings can be purchased ready-made, but many gardeners prefer to grow them on their own. If you chose the first option, you can skip this step, and if the second, then be patient and follow the instructions below.

Step one. We prepare the seed

The process traditionally begins with seed preparation. If the seeds you bought are brightly colored (coated), then they do not need any additional processing.

If the grains are untreated, then place them in the Fitosporin-M solution (prepare in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions) for 20 minutes, then, without washing, hold in the growth stimulator solution and sow in previously prepared containers with soil.

Step two. Sowing seeds

The period from the beginning of February to the last days of March is the optimal time for sowing seeds. Specific dates depend on which varieties will be grown. If we are talking about early varieties, then they are sown in the last days of March, it is better to sow mid-season varieties in early-mid March, and late ones in February.

1. For sowing, prepare containers 6-7 cm high.

   

2. Prepare a soil mixture consisting of sod, humus and peat (in equal proportions).

   

3. Moisten the mixture, then add 1 tbsp. a spoonful of superphosphate, the same amount of wood ash and 1 liter of river sand (proportions are indicated for 10 kg of soil mixture). If desired, you can use a ready-made mixture that does not need to be additionally fertilized.

   

   

4. Pour the prepared mixture into the container and compact it. Make furrows 1.5 cm deep on the surface, pour with a solution of sodium humate and sow the seeds.

   

5. Sprinkle the seeds on top with a small amount of soil mixture, then transfer the containers to a well-lit place with a temperature of about 22 ° C.

Note! In order for the sprouts to sprout faster, 5 days after sowing, you can cover the containers with film caps.

The first 20 days the foliage will practically not develop, but then its development will noticeably accelerate. After another 35-40 days, the leaves will begin to grow intensively, so you will have to take a number of measures, thanks to which the sprouts will not stretch too much.

1. Keep the temperature between 15-18°C for the first week.
2. Rotate the seedlings 180° every day, otherwise the seedlings will stretch in one direction.
3. For the whole week, water the plants only twice or thrice, preferably under the root. The first time - when seedlings are formed, the second - after 1.5-2 weeks, and the third - just before the dive. Also note that the water should have a temperature somewhere around 20 ° C.

As for top dressing, it is not required during the cultivation of seedlings.

Step three. We make hardening

In April, start hardening seedlings by opening the windows for a while. On warm days (if it is more than 12°C outside), you can take the containers out to Fresh air, occasionally leaving for the whole night (having previously covered with a film, of course).

Note! The soil during hardening should be wet so that the seedlings do not fade. As a result, developed and hardened seedlings will acquire a blue-violet color.

5 days before planting, seedlings are recommended to be treated with a solution boric acid(based on 10 g per bucket of water), which is preferable to do in the early morning. So the buds will be preserved on the first brush, and the yield, accordingly, will increase markedly.

Stage two. We transplant seedlings

In the greenhouse where tomatoes will be grown, there must be large vents, both at the ends and in the upper part, since this crop requires thorough ventilation during the growing season. Also, the greenhouse, as noted earlier, should be well lit by the sun throughout the daylight hours.

Step one. Preparing the ground

Make longitudinal beds (their number depends on the dimensions of the entire structure). Break them about a week before the expected date of disembarkation with a width of 60-90 cm and a height of about 40 cm. If we talk about the width of the passage, it is better if it is 60 cm - it will be more convenient.

Step two. We make fertilizers

In the case of clay soil, add wood ash or humus before diving (consumption 10 kg/m²). If the beds are already peat, then cover them with sawdust (the ratio is the same). Also add potassium sulfate and superphosphate (1 and 2 tablespoons, respectively), then dig well. Right before planting, water the beds with a solution of potassium permanganate (1 g / 10 l), its temperature should be approximately 60 ° C. Instead of potassium permanganate, you can use the special tool "Barrier" (250 ml / 10 l of water), pouring 500 ml of the prepared solution into the wells.

A few days before planting seedlings, cut off 3 lower leaves on each plant - this will not only reduce the risk of developing diseases, but also increase ventilation efficiency. In addition, the first flower brush will develop better.

When the height of the plants reaches 25-30 cm, transplant them into the greenhouse.

Step three. We plant seedlings

When transplanting, follow a few simple but extremely important requirements.

Table. Seedling transplant rules

Requirement	Short description	Illustration
	It must be preheated. Cold soil is unacceptable here, because the root system will not grow, but rot, and the survival rate will noticeably worsen. The soil temperature should be between 12°C and 15°C, which can be achieved by covering the beds with dark PET film. Alternatively, you can warm up a large amount of water to pour it into the holes just before transplanting.
	Seedlings should be transplanted to beds in cloudy weather or in the evening. The soil must be moistened and processed as described in the previous step.
	Do not plant seedlings at a great depth (no more than 12 cm), otherwise the part of the stem sprinkled with soil will begin to take on new roots, which will stop plant growth.
	Planting holes are often filled with excessive amounts of manure, urea, or droppings. But because of this, instead of juicy red tomatoes, violent tops can grow.

The specific planting pattern depends on the variety, as well as on the method of formation.

Note! For overgrown seedlings in the hole, make another one corresponding to the height of the pot. Next, place the pot with the overgrown plant in the smaller hole and cover with soil. After 14 days, you can also fill in the first hole, because the seedlings will already take root during this time.

We also note that it is impossible to grow tomatoes with cucumbers in the same greenhouse, since these crops have different requirements for humidity and temperature conditions. In extreme cases, you can block the structure with a film into two parts and grow cucumbers in one and tomatoes in the other.

Step four. We carry out a garter

12 days after transplantation, you can tie to the trellis (the height should be approximately 1.8-2 m). As a rule, the culture grows in one stem, and the number of brushes averages 7-8 pieces. Break off all stepchildren that have grown to 8 cm, leaving only one lower one. Stepchildren, by the way, are easier to break off in the morning.

Features of further care

One of essential conditions a good harvest of tomatoes is also the right care, which must be started immediately after planting. Below are the highlights.

Watering

The first few days after transplanting, it is better not to water. Wait 10 days for the plants to take root, and only then start watering. The water you use must be room temperature. Before the start of the growing season, water once every 4-5 days (approximate consumption - 4-5 l / m²). After the beginning of the flowering phase, increase the consumption to 10-13 l. Water the tomatoes under the root, and preferably in the morning, and not in the evening, when the fruits are covered with drops of liquid due to condensation.

Fertilizer

14 days after planting, fertilize the tomatoes for the first time with a nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium top dressing (1 tbsp. L / 10 L) or mullein (0.5 L / 10 L). Pour about 1 liter of the finished product under each plant.

After another 10 days, fertilize the crop a second time using Fertility and potassium sulfate (1 tablespoon and 1 teaspoon per 10 liters, respectively). For the entire season, fertilizer should be applied 3 or 4 times.

Tomatoes are not afraid of drafts, therefore, you can carry out ventilation by any available method: open the windows or ends, tuck the film from below, etc. Be sure to ventilate the structure a couple of hours after watering. This moment is especially relevant in the flowering phase (wet pollen will not fall into the pistil, which means pollination will not occur).

Note! On sunny and warm days, gently shake the brushes - this will contribute to artificial pollination.

We are harvesting

If tomatoes were grown in winter, and the first fruits ripened in spring, then harvest every 2-3 days until summer. If this happens from summer to autumn, then harvest the fruits every day.

Do it right:

• pick tomatoes without stalks;
• remove pink or red fruits (the first option is preferable, because the brushes ripen faster after assembly);
• use special boxes for this.

As for the storage of tomatoes, it is advisable to wrap each vegetable in soft paper, and layer the fruits placed in boxes with hay, sawdust or peat.

If you follow all these tips, you can get a really good crop of tomatoes that will delight you in the summer. delicious salads, and in winter - jars of pickled fruits.

Today it is difficult to find gardeners who would not grow tomatoes in their backyard. With equal success, this vegetable can be grown in open ground and greenhouses. The possibility of obtaining a good harvest and ease of care for tomatoes makes them quite popular with summer residents and gardeners.

We will tell you how to grow tomatoes in greenhouses.

Selection of varieties of tomatoes for growing in a greenhouse

You can find dozens if not hundreds of different varieties of tomatoes in specialty gardening stores. All this invariably complicates the choice, summer residents often cannot choose the right variety that would be suitable for growing in greenhouses. Breeders have bred special varieties intended exclusively for growing in greenhouses.

With proper care, these varieties of tomatoes will produce a crop with excellent taste. It is only necessary to properly care for the plantings and follow the technology of growing vegetables in a greenhouse.

When choosing varieties of tomatoes, you should first determine whether the grown crop will be used for canning or fresh consumption. You can choose varieties of tomatoes that differ in the size of the fruit and their purpose.

Cherry, Ryabchik, Hermitage varieties are very popular when growing tomatoes in greenhouses.

Greenhouse preparation

When growing tomatoes, remember that this is a light and heat-loving crop. Favorable temperature for growing this vegetable is in the range of 20 - 25 degrees.

That is why you need to correctly determine the place where the greenhouse will be installed. Experts advise choosing the most illuminated areas for the location of such a greenhouse.

If you use film greenhouses, then you should build structures with several layers of polyethylene, and the air gap inside will provide additional insulation to the greenhouse.

Do not forget about the need to make vents on the sides that will provide adequate ventilation in the greenhouse.

By properly equipping the greenhouse, you can greatly simplify the cultivation of tomatoes.

Soil preparation for tomato seedlings

When growing a tomato, remember that the subsequent yield and success of growing tomatoes in a greenhouse depends on the quality of the soil. This culture is whimsical in part proper preparation soil. The optimal content of trace elements in the soil will ensure the full growth of plants and their high-quality fruiting.

• Loamy soils are recommended to be diluted with sawdust, humus and peat.
• Sod, humus and dry sawdust are introduced into peat soils.
• It is recommended to add sand with humus to the black soil.

Regardless of the type of soil, it is necessary to add the appropriate mineral fertilizers: superphosphate with saltpeter, after which the soil is dug up with high quality.

Note that without soil preparation, even high-quality seedlings will not give any good result. That is why pay due attention to the preparation of the soil.

The formation of beds is carried out a week before the direct planting of seedlings in the ground. It is necessary to form beds about 40 centimeters high and 100 centimeters wide.

To simplify the use of the greenhouse between the beds, leave a passage 70 centimeters wide. Before planting tomato seedlings directly into the ground, the ground should be well loosened and moistened.

Transplanting tomato seedlings into the ground

As soon as the seedlings reach a height of 30 centimeters, they can be transplanted into the ground. Most summer residents perform such a seedling transplant in early May.

When planting plants, it is necessary to observe the minimum distance, which is 40 centimeters for medium-sized varieties, and 60 centimeters for tall bushes.

Young bushes must be planted vertically and cover the stem with earth to the first leaves. A small amount is added to the prepared soil before planting. mineral fertilizers and organics. It is also recommended to shed the earth with a weak solution of potassium permanganate.

Tomato Care

When growing tomatoes, you need to remember that the yield of this vegetable directly depends on how well the plant was cared for. Proper care of tomatoes is as follows:

• Performing garter bushes.
• Loosening and weeding the soil.
• Pasynkovanie.
• Timely application of fertilizers.
• Regular and timely watering.
• Disease protection.

Only an integrated approach to growing this vegetable will allow you to get an excellent harvest. Seedlings need to be watered every five days.

Abundant watering adversely affects the condition of the tomato, so try to properly water this garden crop.

Many gardeners are negative about the prospect of using fertilizers, and refuse to apply top dressing. However, in reality, this only worsens the yield, and when right choice fertilizers and compliance with dosages, you will in no way impair the quality of grown tomatoes.

For feeding use mullein and nitrophoska. They also fertilize with potassium sulfate, and additionally add superphosphate and ash.

Certain difficulties for gardeners are the fight against various pests that harm tomato plantings. Of the common pests, we can note the wireworm, the bear, the whitefly.

You can purchase the appropriate chemicals to avoid problems with these pests. You should not forget about the treatment of plantings from late blight and black leg.

Such a protective spraying against diseases is carried out three times:

• The first treatment 20 days after transplanting seedlings into the ground.
• The second treatment is performed after 20 days.
• The third spraying is performed when flowering appears on the bushes.

Remember also to regularly pick ripe tomatoes, this will help increase the overall yield when growing tomatoes.

The conditions for growing any plants in greenhouses are different from the usual ones. Some of them feel great open ground, others need a closed room for better development. Growing early tomatoes, for example, requires high humidity and high temperatures. But as a result, various diseases and pests appear, so it is necessary to know the methods of dealing with them.

Here are the most popular varieties of tomatoes for greenhouses that can be grown in the private sector.

From tall to short

Indeterminate - these are the best productive tomatoes for growing in greenhouses. They look like tall liana bushes. These tomatoes in the greenhouse give the largest yield. Indeterminate varieties are well suited for growing in tall greenhouses. They, of course, need very careful care, but the harvest in the end will certainly please with its abundance. The yield is approximately 50 kg per square meter.

Tall tomatoes usually have larger fruits and tall shoots that need to be tied up.

Tall ones are best grown in combination with medium-sized ones. This will allow continuous harvesting. They require stems to be tied up, as branches can break due to the weight of the fruit.

Undersized are grown, as a rule, under a low film cover. Such tomatoes are well suited for the northern regions of the country. The fruits of these varieties are medium or small.

The best greenhouse tomatoes have been obtained by gardeners through trial and error. Thanks to this, it is possible to isolate tomato seeds for greenhouses, the cultivation of which will allow you to get specific yields and good taste:

• growing early tomatoes is not complete without seeds: Yarilo, Scorpio, Funtik, Cavalier, Pink cheeks, Red cheeks, Gina, Blagovest, Druzhok;
• for growing in chronically contaminated soils, Budenovka, F1 Roma, Yerema F1, Chio-chio-san, Kostroma F1, Blagovest F1 are suitable;
• in swampy areas with constantly wet soil, the varieties Yablonka, F1 Chelbas, F1 Talitsa are used;
• in the northern regions, where the climate is distinguished by its severity, it is good to use De Barao, Admiralteisky, F1 Verlioka, Ural F1;
• if transportation and long-term storage are planned, it is better to use the varieties F1 Krasnobay, F1 Ivanovets, Volgogradets, F1 Akatuy.

Variety selection

How to grow tomatoes in a greenhouse? First you need to buy seeds for greenhouses. When choosing varieties of tomatoes for greenhouses, you need to determine in advance the purpose of the crop, since the properties of vegetables grown for salads, sales and preservation differ. All varieties are divided into determinant and indeterminate.

The first ones are low (suitable for small greenhouses). The second ones grow as long as weather conditions allow, which they tolerate better than determinant ones. Consider the best of the hybrids of both types:

1. , (large, ultra-resistant to weather conditions), "Spring of the North" (pink, large and sweet).
2. (leading variety), (sweet lettuce variety), (fast growing).

Surely you are interested in the question: what is the yield of tomatoes in a greenhouse? Let's consider this question. Many gardeners prefer the greenhouse.

- a thermophilic culture, therefore, they feel more comfortable in closed soil, as a result of which they bear fruit well. So feel free to plant vegetables in the greenhouse!

Also get to know useful information about what is acceptable in the greenhouse.

After discussing all the pressing issues, let's get down to business. Below you will see recommendations for growing tomatoes in a polycarbonate greenhouse.

And in the table below you can clearly compare the yields different varieties tomatoes grown in a greenhouse and without it:

Landing and care

1. Growing tomatoes in polycarbonate greenhouses starts with seed preparation. Do not forget to treat the seeds with Fitosporin solution. If the seeds in the package are brightly colored, then they are already processed. Rinsing is not needed!
2. Preparing the soil for sowing. The main mistake of growing tomatoes in a greenhouse for beginners and inexperienced summer residents is planting seeds in ordinary soil, because all stages depend on its quality - from growth to ripening. The soil should be rich in minerals and organic matter.

Pay attention to this option: add 1 part of peat and sand to one part of the soil. The resulting mixture is well mixed, then poured with a nutrient solution, which consists of 25-30 grams of superphosphate, potassium sulfate and 10 grams of carbamide per 10 liters of water.

3. The next step is to sow seeds for seedlings.. We sow them in boxes about 5-8 cm high. We pour the soil into the container, tamp it a little, make grooves of about 1-1.5 cm and water it, after which you can sow the seeds. We fill the seeds with soil and put them in a lighted place. The temperature should be room temperature.
4. We dive seedlings. Approximately 7 days after the seedlings have sprouted, you need to make transplant. The fact is that the roots have already grown stronger and they have become cramped in the box. Carefully inspect all seedlings: they should have at least 2 leaves by the time of the dive. We carefully take out each plant along with a lump of soil located on the root and transplant it into a more spacious container, do not forget about it in the greenhouse.

Important! Watch your plants. Put every day different sides to the window, watch temperature. Closer to planting, take the plants to the balcony.

5. Preparing a greenhouse for tomatoes. A very important stage, you need to properly prepare the greenhouse for planting, so that the plants do not get sick in the future. The best time for planting is the beginning of May, at this time the temperature is quite low for our seedlings at night, so it’s better to play it safe and cover the greenhouse with a double film. Don't forget to ventilate on all sides!

Next, we remove the old earth by about 10 cm, the one that remains is disinfected with copper sulphate. Well, if you pour sawdust or straw instead of topsoil, this will help retain moisture longer.

6. Preparing plants for planting. The successful growth of tomatoes in closed soil directly depends on the date and month of planting. If the spring is warm, then we plant tomatoes: in heated greenhouses around April 30; without heating, but with double shelter - May 12; unheated greenhouses - May 25. If spring does not please us with its weather, then a little later.

The temperature in the greenhouse for tomatoes: air +25°C, soil +15°C. The scheme of planting a tomato depends on the variety, the size of the greenhouse and the methods of plant formation. It is better to arrange the rows in the direction from north to south, this will allow for natural lighting. Try to leave about 60 cm between the beds.

Landing patterns

How to grow tomatoes in a greenhouse correctly? Landing patterns:

• medium-sized varieties are planted in a checkerboard pattern;
• determinant tomatoes can be planted more often (but not less than 30 cm);
• we also plant high varieties in a checkerboard pattern, but we increase the distance.

It is unacceptable to plant tomatoes in the same place for the second year! This will negatively affect the yield of your tomatoes in the greenhouse.
