Varieties of carpal tomatoes for open ground 

The most difficult process in the production of tomatoes is the harvest. To harvest the fruits, manual labor is necessary; it is impossible to replace it with mechanics. In order to reduce the costs of large producers, varieties of cluster tomatoes were created. The use of these varieties reduced costs by 5-7 times.

Despite the fact that the carpal varieties of tomatoes were originally created for large agricultural farms, many summer residents also liked them.

Characterization

Carpal tomatoes differ from ordinary ones in that the fruits in the brush ripen at the same time, significantly speeding up the harvest for gardeners. Within the group, tomato varieties are divided into the following subgroups:

• Large-fruited varieties, brush weight up to 1 kg;
• Medium, brush weight up to 600 gr;
• Small, the weight of the brush does not exceed 300 gr.

The best varieties of carpal tomatoes have high resistance to Fusarium damage. The skin of the fruits of carpal tomatoes is very strong, such tomatoes do not crack, have excellent keeping quality and transportability. From 5 to 20 fruits ripen in a tomato brush at the same time.

Some varieties of carpal tomatoes for open ground are exceptionally productive. One bush can produce up to 20 kg of selected fruits of high commercial quality. But when planting such varieties, it must be borne in mind that the declared yield was obtained using the highest level of agricultural technology. Any errors in care will reduce the productivity of tomatoes.

Все сорта кистевых томатов выращиваются через рассаду. В открытый грунт высаживают растения, в возрасте 50−60 дней, когда погода будет стабильно теплой.

Cluster tomatoes do not tolerate cold. A short-term decrease in air temperature to 5 degrees can reduce plant productivity by 20%. At sub-zero temperatures, the plant dies. Sometimes after exposure to cold, only the leaves die, the stem remains alive. In this case, the plant will grow further, but it will not give a good harvest.
