Varieties of tomatoes for the northwestern region of Russia: description, characteristics and reviews, cultivation

What vegetable is considered the main in the beds? Of course, a tomato. He has long been in the top three: tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers - where can we go without them! But if everything is simple and clear in the middle lane and in the south with the cultivation of this crop, then in the North-West of Russia gardeners with tomatoes are for you. To get an excellent harvest of juicy tomatoes in the cool humid climate of the Leningrad, Novgorod region, in Kaliningrad and Karelia, farmers have to work hard. But there are plenty of worthy varieties and hybrids of tomatoes that grow without problems in these regions - we will talk about them.

How to grow tomatoes on the western border of our country

It is difficult to call tomatoes unpretentious - the Colorado potato beetle is the number one enemy, late blight is the second trouble of tomatoes. In addition, the red-fruited vegetable does not like frequent sprinkling, heat and drought. And in order to get a good harvest, it is necessary to observe some important agrotechnical points - watering, pinching, tying to a support, applying fertilizers and much more. It is impossible to grow tomatoes without labor and effort, because not only climate and weather affect the result. But knowing the features of culture, the secrets of agricultural technology in the climatic conditions of the northwestern region of our country, you can get a decent tomato crop both in the greenhouse and in the open ground.

The Northwestern Federal District of Russia includes the Leningrad, Pskov, Novgorod, Kaliningrad, Arkhangelsk, Vologda, Murmansk regions, Komi, Karelia, and the Nenets Autonomous District.

Features of the local climate

The sharply continental climate of these places is not a sentence for tomatoes - in the southeast of the Leningrad and Novgorod regions, in Pskov and on the Vologda land, tomatoes grow well in open beds. Closer to the Arctic Circle (for example, Murmansk and the Nenets land), farmers also do not despair - for this there are greenhouses and ultra-early varieties of tomatoes for covered ground.

The climate of these places is special: in the center, the temperate continental is replaced by sharply continental to the north, the Arctic air masses, western winds, Atlantic cyclones, high humidity - all this determines the result of agricultural works. Mild winters with thaws give way to a protracted spring. Drizzle and frequent fogs are not uncommon in this region during the summer. Unstable weather, heavy rainfall, dampness - not the best option for growing tomatoes. In addition, the polar day in Murmansk and Karelia is laying its imprint on the cultivation of any crops, when the sun does not set at all, and the June "white nights" in the center of the North-West (St. Petersburg, Novgorod, etc. d.).

How to grow tomatoes in difficult climatic conditions of the North-West of Russia

To get delicious juicy fruits in the midst of the summer season, you need to take care of tomato seedlings - tomatoes are planted from March 5 to March 15. And after about 55-60 days, young seedlings dive into the open ground (May 5-10 - depending on the weather). When growing tomatoes in a heated greenhouse, you can resort to early planting - in late February tomatoes are sown in prepared containers, and from April 20 seedlings are ready for transplanting for permanent a place.

On May 5–10, we are planting seedlings - it should have 1 flower brush already - 60 days of seedlings, then we water everything with warm water. I use a hose from a garden pond, as I plant tomato in large volumes, there the water warms up quickly. It is possible from barrels, it is useful to paint them black. The main thing is not to water from the well, the water is cold - there are about 7 degrees, which will cool the soil. We plant 4-6 plants per 1 sq. Km. m. according to the scheme 40 by 40 cm.

Further care for seedlings of growing tomatoes is to comply with the simplest technology for growing tomatoes - watering, loosening, top dressing, pinching. In addition, experienced farmers who have already experimented with tomatoes in the unstable climate of the northwestern region of Russia, argue that the use of greenhouse-type film shelters at the beginning of the growing season saves from return frosts, and non-woven material in July - August protects the future tomato harvest from late blight.

There is still a whole piggy bank of secrets from local tomato experts, which significantly helps beginner gardeners in the North-West of our country to increase and maintain the tomato crop.

• The best predecessors on the beds for tomato - onions, cucumber, cabbage, zucchini, greens.
• A good result is shown by the cultivation of tomatoes on raised beds: in the autumn, ridges are formed from a layer of straw 25–30 cm high, in spring you can still report a layer of 5–10 cm.
• As they grow, the shoots are tied to a reliable trellis.
• Watering tomatoes in a cool, humid climate of the Northwest requires periodic, but plentiful - 6–7 times per season (from May 15 to August 15–20) every 2 weeks. It is better to irrigate tomatoes under the root - 5-7 liters of water per bush.
• The next day they carry out loosening.
• Weed weeding is organized as needed.
• Mulching with a black film gives an excellent result - it quickly heats up and cools for a long time, and you can also use dried grass cut as mulch.
• The stem is formed in 2-3 shoots, for this one stepchild is left under the first brush and one more above it.
• Stepsons are carried out as soon as the ovaries appear, the stepsons must be removed correctly, leaving a stump - then again the axillary shoots (stepsons) will not grow back soon.
• It is better to remove the lower leaves so that damp does not accumulate and does not provoke late blight. Do this only after the appearance of the first ovaries. Lower leaves are removed no more than 1 time in 2 weeks.
• For the entire summer season, 3-4 feedings are necessary here.
• In mid-August, watering is stopped - this will accelerate the ripening of fruits.
• It is recommended to pick the last tomatoes no later than September 10, green fruits are picked for ripening.
• To prevent phytophthora, they carry out preventive spraying, for example, with phytosporin, Profit Gold and solutions, cooked according to folk recipes - from the beginning of July to mid-August, processing is organized every 10 days, alternating different means and ways. In the greenhouse, airing in sunny weather as often as possible is carried out. With increased dampness and suspected fungal diseases, organic mulch is recommended to be replaced with fresh.

Every 10 days, alternating, I spray with the following solutions: 1) 30 drops of iodine + 1 liter of skim milk + 1 table. lies. liquid soap in 10 liters of water; 2) 100 grams of peeled chopped garlic, I insist a day in 1 liter. water, then I bring the volume to 10 l and add 1 g of potassium permanganate; 3) sometimes sprayed with phytosporin (5 days after any of the above solutions).

Video: feeding tomatoes during flowering and the appearance of ovaries

I spend the first top dressing of my tomatoes 3 weeks after planting: 0.5 cups of IDEAL for 10 liters of water, 0.5 liters each under a bush. I alternate the subsequent dressings after 10 days: I use a 0.5-liter can of ash for 10 liters of water, I insist 12 hours, and then I pour 1 liter of water under the bush under the bush. Throw the sediment under the berry bushes. I make the following top dressing with nettle infusion with mullein. To do this, I fill half a bucket with fresh nettle, add fresh cow flat bread, fill it with water, cover it with a film, insist 7-10 days, stir occasionally. I dilute the resulting solution - 1 liter in a bucket of water and add 1 liter. solution under the bush. For better fruit setting during flowering of the second brush, I spray it with a solution of boric acid (1 teaspoon. lies. X 10 l of water) 1-2 times with an interval of 10 days. Or use the Ovary. During flowering, in the morning, at 11 o'clock, I tap on the stems for better pollination. In the heat I constantly spill the passage with cold water, shade it.

Variety selection for North-West Russia

The choice of tomatoes for regions with a harsh climate is so wide that it is sometimes difficult to navigate the assortment. The state registry of the Russian Federation and amateur selection offers domestic gardeners of the northwestern region tomatoes with different ripening periods, while the early varieties on the list are ripe varieties. Including:

• tall and low;
• determinant (with limited branching of shoots) and indeterminate (with unlimited growth of shoots);
• for salads and appetizers, for storage and pickling;
• Tomatoes with fruits of various shapes and colors.

The most suitable tomatoes for open ground, according to experts, for growing in climatic conditions of the North-West Of Russia - determinant medium-sized and low-growing, also shtambovye (low-growing varieties with a thick stem), with an early term ripening. In a greenhouse, a good crop is obtained when planting mid-early and mid-ripe indeterminants of different heights.

I plant old proven varieties (I planted a lot at all, more than 2 hundred), but these have established themselves as the most stable and guaranteed giving harvest in any year: Nevsky (which is good to form in 2 brushes for an early harvest), Moskvich, Agatha, Gina, White filling, I can still advise Pharaoh. But pay more attention not to the variety, but to the growing technology and fertilizer doses.

Soil early ripening tomatoes and mid-early varieties for a cool climate

Tomatoes in the open ground are not uncommon in the harsh climate of the North-West, they are considered the most fragrant, their taste is richer and brighter than that of greenhouses.

White filling

He is one of the first to ripen, not afraid of many diseases, enjoys harvesting even in the cool, damp summer - White filling helps gardeners from the Leningrad Region, Kaliningrad and Novgorod regularly. The early crop variety grows well without shelter, weakly stepson, but requires late blight prevention.

Grade Features:

• fruits are round, red, weight 130 g;
• determinant;
• medium;
• return from 1 sq. m. - 8-14 kg;
• moderately susceptible to macrosporiosis.

Just as the fruits were tied up together, the tomatoes of the White filling also ripened together in clusters. As soon as I cut one branch, another began to ripen. On each branch there were from 5 to 11 fruits and this is in a balcony! Each fruit weighing approximately 50–80 g. Tomatoes are delicious, in no way inferior to the tomatoes that I take in the market!

Moskvich

The tomato with the "talking" name Moskvich is actually a regular in the tomato beds of the Moscow region and more northern territories. The booming precocious is considered unpretentious, grows without any problems in any conditions (greenhouse or open ground).

Other varietal characteristics:

• fruits are flat-round, rosy, weight 75–80 g;
• determinant;
• undersized - 0.4 m;
• productivity 4–5 kg / m².

Swamp

Large-fruited tomato with unlimited branching of shoots in the greenhouse extends up to 1.5 m, on unprotected beds the Swamp is able to grow shoots to 0.6–0.8 m. The highlight of the variety is brownish-yellow fruits, still not ripened, but quite edible, they can be generally greenish-ocher, sugar flesh, the same as the skin, but with pinkish veins, the weight of the fruit reaches 350 g

Grade Features:

• the variety is thrown into three stems;
• the crop is poorly stored;
• salad;
• return from 1 sq. m - 6 kg.

I did not really like the Swamp variety when it fully ripens and becomes soft, and is liquid in consistency, and the taste is absolutely mediocre. Although the same varieties can show themselves in different ways in different conditions ..

Progress

This tomato with an early ripening period (the first fruits turn red on 110–113 days) gets along well with the climate of the northern regions - specially created for Siberia and the North-West of Russia, bears fruit well in open ground and rarely is sick. Tomatoes are round, small-chambered, saturated red, with a dense skin, weigh up to 70 g, are formed in brushes of 6-7 pieces.

Varietal characteristics:

• determinant;
• low - up to 0.5 m;
• pickling;
• average productivity - 4 kg / m².

Agatha

This baby (bush height 0.33-0.45 m) has established itself as an excellent universal tomato with one-dimensional scarlet tomatoes of 70-100 g each. Agate fruits are well tolerated and stored for a long time (in a cool room for up to 3 weeks).

Grade Features:

• determinant;
• stunted;
• pickling, salad;
• productivity of 7–11 kg per 1 square. m .;

The variety really turned out to be ripe. During the season, a very decent harvest was collected, with 10 bushes of 40 liters of ripe tomatoes. The main disadvantage is the taste of fresh fruits - they are sour and watery. The variety is suitable only for processing. Juice, tomato paste, pickled tomatoes were to your liking, but not in salads, sour meat is still that. It is not necessary to pinch a plant, it is determinant, otherwise you can lose a significant part of the crop.

Broody

An early ripening with limited branching of Klush shoots is one of the first to please with dense sweetish tomatoes with a pleasant aroma. The hundred-gram cultivar fruits are flat-round, with a small number of chambers inside, quite juicy - they are good in fresh snacks and canned ones.

Other varietal characteristics:

• standard;
• bush height - 0.4-0.5 m;

Variety of tomatoes "Klusha" liked its crop and mediocre fruits. They have excellent taste, it is a pleasure to eat fresh. You can roll a couple of three jars for the winter or cut them into the freezer. In the salad, I did not really like these tomatoes, there is no such tender pulp as in meaty varieties. Just look after him is not difficult. The main thing is that you do not need to stepchild.

Fighter (Buyan)

Low-growing (up to 0.5 m) cultivar of universal consumption. The fighter is considered one of the most unpretentious. soil varieties - rarely gets sick with the tobacco mosaic virus, late blight and bacterial diseases; scary.

In open ground, it also grows well, but later bears fruit. The variety does not require pinching, but I used pegs for garter. It was important for me that the variety was resistant to late blight, Dubok turned out to be just that, late blight was “mowed” by it last. The fruits are universal, can be used for seaming, and in salads. I liked the taste. His pulp is dense, fleshy, he ripened before all planted varieties, and the harvest was pleased.

In the State Register, this early ripe salad variety appeared only last year, but flattering reviews about it were much earlier. Tomatologists say that the cultivar is actually strewn with small (18–20 g each, individual specimens up to 50 g) fruits, they are poured already in mid-June, provided that they are grown in a greenhouse.

Variety Description:

• determinant;
• undersized - up to 0.6 m;
• for soil and greenhouses;

Tomato Visibly and invisibly is not distinguished by high taste. Normal, slightly more sour in it... But VERY abundant. Really visible and invisible. The size is salted, with a chicken egg, but round. And by the way - he is stunted. The height of the centimeters is 60.

Without a doubt, this cultivar is good for everyone: a short bush, fruits of one-dimensionality of 50–80 g each are what is needed for whole-canning. It can be grown both in soil and in the greenhouse, it is steady against late blight.

Grade Features:

• determinant;
• undersized - 0.4 m;
• productivity is up to 18 kg / m² (3 kg from the bush);
• the fruits are round, bright red, sometimes with a sharp "nose";
• can be grown as a pot culture.

I plant, like all other varieties, I plant both in the greenhouse and in the open ground, since I never hope for nature, I do not want to be left without a crop. This tomato variety grows in a small bush. In the greenhouse, you need to stepchild and tie it up. Fruits have a rounded shape with a diameter of not more than 5–6 cm, with a dense skin and juicy pulp and 4–5 seed chambers. Liang is very good to use in conservation, since the fruits do not burst during heat treatment. Almost all of the fruits ripen at the same time, but it is better to collect them when they just begin to blush. If ripe fruits fall in the rain, they usually rot on the branches.
