The birthplace of tomato is Mexico. This plant is widespread throughout the world. Breeders from many countries are trying to expand the geography of growing tomatoes, annually develop new varieties, improve their characteristics. Thanks to the work of scientists, a large number of tomato varieties have appeared for Siberia. The best of them withstand low temperatures, ripen in the conditions of a short summer and give an excellent harvest.
Tomatoes are classified according to several criteria:
1. There are determinant and indeterminate varieties. The first type is low-growing plants that do not need to form a bush and give the crop together, and the second is tall tomatoes that need to be planted, their fruiting is stretched over time.
2. Varieties are divided by maturity and external signs of the fetus. The color, size of the tomato, its shape and purpose are taken into account.
3. According to the method of cultivation, tomatoes are divided into two types: for open ground and greenhouse varieties.
Plants are zoned depending on the climatic conditions of cultivation. In Siberian conditions, it is preferable to choose determinant varieties. These tomatoes stop their growth after the formation of the fourth to fifth fruit brush and form them through every second pair of leaves.
There are not as many determinant varieties that are bred for cultivation in cold climates as there are determinant ones. All of them are high-yielding, their fruiting lasts one or two months, so it is better to plant such plants in greenhouses.
