High yielding tomato varieties

Each vegetable grower wants to make the most of a small plot of land or beds in a greenhouse. To get a high yield from the allocated place for tomatoes, you need to choose the right varieties. Sometimes, in pursuit of a large number of fruits, their taste is neglected, and this is wrong. Now we will try to find out which, according to vegetable growers, the most productive varieties of tomatoes bring delicious fruits.

Choice of variety according to the place of cultivation

Just buying the seeds of the most productive varieties of tomatoes in the store does not mean that you can get a lot of tasty fruits from them in any cultivation. Before giving preference to one or another tomato, you need to decide on the place of its cultivation. The culture grows and also bears fruit in the greenhouse and in the garden in different ways. The method of growing and caring for the plant differs.

If you take, for example, high-yielding varieties of greenhouse tomatoes and plant them in an open garden, they will disappoint the grower, bringing a small amount of fruit. And, on the contrary, when productive tasty varieties intended for open cultivation are planted in a greenhouse, the vegetable grower will receive many fruits, but with a low taste.

Taste qualities of tomato

All varieties and hybrids of tomatoes differ in their taste. However, few people know that this vegetable tends to reveal all its charms under certain conditions. Some fruits are tasty only immediately picked from the bush, other tomatoes are more pleasant to eat in pickle or canned. There are the most delicious and fruitful tomatoes that are eaten unripe. An overripe tomato of one variety may have an excellent aroma, while a fruit of another variety will have a disgusting smell.

By purpose, tomatoes are divided into several groups:

• Pickled fruits usually medium in size. The pulp is saturated with special substances and a large amount of sugar. The whole range of taste qualities of a tomato appears only after salting.
• canned tomatoes smaller than pickled fruits. Tomato skin has unique properties. Passing a hot marinade through itself, it does not crack. The fruit in the jar remains whole and beautiful.
• Varieties of salad direction do not have any restrictions. Fruits can be of different weight, color, size, flavors. However, salad tomatoes are subject to high requirements regarding taste, meatiness and sugar content.
• Sauce tomatoes easy to recognize by the seeds when the fruit is broken. The grains of such tomatoes float freely in the pulp.

Having decided for what purposes the fruits are needed, you can go to the store to buy tomato seeds.
