How to choose a variety

In order to competently approach the choice of a variety of tomatoes for your greenhouse, you need to know the main characteristics that you should pay attention to first.

It is important that greenhouse tomatoes tolerate various changes in indoor temperature well.

Since the conditions created in the greenhouse are, of course, close to natural, but still it is quite difficult to create ideal ones. Indeed, in the hot season, the greenhouse is able to heat up, and at night, at any time of the year, it can cool to critical temperatures.

The second indicator that should be considered when choosing a variety is the high degree of yield formation. Since the greenhouse is open almost all day in summer, the ambient temperature favors the growth and development of crops. But along with the air, fungal spores enter the greenhouse, which can cause irreparable damage to plants. Therefore, it will be better if the harvest is formed before the start of this period. Also important is the quick return of the crop. Early ripe varieties enable gardeners to harvest fruits already three months after the emergence of seedlings. And the products obtained at the very beginning of the season are considered especially valuable not only in terms of taste, but can also be sold at a better price when sold. Increased yield is another argument in favor of choosing one or another variety of tomatoes.

Strong immunity to viruses and diseases is important for any variety of vegetables that you are going to grow in greenhouse conditions. If tomatoes have good genetics, then you can safely purchase such species for your greenhouse. Presentation and good transportability are important for those tomatoes that are grown for profit. We are sure that following all the tips and recommendations, you will certainly find the best varieties and hybrids of tomatoes in order to grow them in your own greenhouse with pleasure.
