Future harvest directly depends on right choice of grade of tomatoes. Considering some subtleties, it is possible to make right choice more professionally.
Each gardener had confusion at visit of departments with seeds. Even fans, skilled with long standing, know that in huge abundance of bags of seeds of tomatoes it is sometimes difficult to orient.
What should be known before going behind seeds to shop?
- Where tomatoes will grow: in the open ground, the greenhouse or the temporary shelter. The choice on height of plants depends on the answer to this question. It is not practical to plant tomatoes indeterminantny (unlimited in growth) groups to the open ground. And the more so to grow up in the high greenhouse undersized tomatoes (determinant).
- Grade or hybrid. Modern hybrids of tomatoes, certainly, will yield both harvest above, and guarantee resistance to diseases. But, as a rule, hybrid tomatoes concede to taste, and seeds from them will not take aroma. Hybrids require from the gardener bigger attention from introduction of fertilizing.
- The term of maturing of fruits matters. Early, mid-season or late grades (hybrids) - it depends on assignment of harvest, on cultivation zone. So, for the guaranteed harvests in the open ground it is better for northerners to choose early group as late grades will not manage to gain the necessary sugar ripeness for short summer.
- Everyone chooses color, the size of fruits and assignment of harvest on the taste because the choice just huge.
The most important will be to choose such tomatoes that the grade did not hurt, did not crack and showed enviable resistance to cultivation conditions. Such tomato diseases as virus of tobacco mosaic, fusariosis, alternarioz, the bacteriosis and phytophthora known to everyone, can nullify all efforts on cultivation of harvest.
Grade value - here to what it is necessary to pay attention. Many firms give such information in the description of grade on bags. Read, compare and make the choice. So, for those who grow up tomatoes in the south will be important if the grade shows resistance to gallic nematode, to heat. Northerners will be become more useful by the grades showing resistance to bad weather, to low illumination cold-resistant, with high zavyazyvayemost of fruits.
