The best tomato varieties for 2016: selection criteria
Selecting seeds is a complex and responsible process. It is important to choose a variety that will not disappoint, and also to create suitable conditions for the seed to accept and germinate. Tomato seeds are divided into two types: those that are intended for growing in a greenhouse and those that are perfect for open ground. To make the right choice, it is necessary to take into account the climatic features of the area, since not all varieties can grow equally well in central Russia and in its northern part.
Let's look at the most popular tomato varieties in 2016, which we will roughly divide into low-growing and tall-growing. Some of them can be purchased in specialized stores.
Low-growing tomato varieties for 2016
- Solokha is low. The tomato is characterized by its bright, rich color, meatiness and juiciness. The bush grows small, so the size of the tomato is also not impressive. This variety does not require shaping or pinching. Care is not difficult, watering is moderate. Seeds can be sown in open ground in early March.

- Mongolian dwarf. This variety, like the previous one, is more suitable for winter preparations, although it is not bad in salads. The bush is squat and surrounded on all sides by fruits.
As for caring for low-growing varieties of tomatoes, it is not much different from caring for ordinary tall varieties. The main thing is not to forget about proper fertilizer, nutrition, watering and weed control. Low-growing tomatoes are good when there is not much space for planting.

After the article, there were a huge number of comments about the most productive varieties of tomatoes from gardeners and gardeners from different regions. Many of them are with photos.
In just a few months, the dacha season will begin, which means that lovers of such recreation need to gradually begin to plant seedlings. As experienced gardeners advise, March is the last month suitable for planting seeds at home or in greenhouse conditions, as well as in closed ground. Many novice gardeners believe that this matter is quite simple, but in fact it is associated with a lot of difficulties.
First of all, you need to choose the right variety, since the yield of the site will depend on this. We decided to devote our today's review to this issue - there are a large number of different subtleties that will have to be taken into account. Let's start with the basic rules for choosing planting material.
Which tomato seeds are considered the most productive and why?
For the most part, gardeners fall for bright and colorful packaging that depicts large and ripe tomatoes. They usually believe that they will be able to grow the same fruits. When choosing seeds, you should take into account that such varieties need daily, or even hourly, care, otherwise you simply won’t be able to get a large harvest. In this regard, such packaging is an advertisement, not a guarantee. This should be remembered first of all.
When choosing planting material, you need to take into account a number of parameters that will one way or another affect plant growth and the overall yield:
- The climatic conditions in which such crops will grow;
- Manufacturing company - let us immediately note that you should not give preference to imported companies, since most of them do not take into account the peculiarities of the domestic climate, soil and other aspects;
- Shelf life of seeds;
- When choosing, be sure to inspect the packaging - it must have the variety marking and the F1 icon, which guarantees resistance to various diseases and increased yield;
- Data regarding the percentage of germination (if 100% is indicated, then this is probably a hoax, since even for the highest quality material this figure does not exceed 80-90%);
- The purpose of the seeds is for open ground or for greenhouses; there are also universal varieties on sale;
- Fruit ripening period - early (late June - early July), late (late July - mid-September);
- The purpose of the fruit is fresh consumption, pickling, canning, long-term storage, and so on.
We have selected the best varieties for owners of summer cottages, both in terms of price-quality ratio and in terms of user reviews. We hope that you find our review informative and useful. Now we will move on to a review of tomato varieties that are characterized by good yield and resistance to diseases and pests.
