Indoor soil partially smoothes out weather differences between regions. But there are many factors that influence the greenhouse microclimate: the length of daylight hours, the number of sunny days, the sum of active temperatures, air humidity and many others. Tomatoes for Siberia, even those growing in a greenhouse, must undergo the most stringent selection. The best varieties and hybrids have complex resistance to possible negative factors - cold and heat, sudden changes in temperature and humidity, fungal infections. Siberian greenhouse owners prefer early-ripening varieties and hybrids of tomatoes that are tall enough for efficient use of space.

Rules for selecting tomato varieties in cold climates

Greenhouse tomatoes for Siberia (large sweet varieties are a priority for gardeners) are the best option for growing in cold climates. Indoors it is easier to control watering and air temperature. However, due to the lack of a long and warm summer, crop varieties must be unpretentious and very early.

Tomatoes for Siberia are greenhouse tomatoes; large sweet varieties are chosen based on their survival rate: the higher it is, the better. Thanks to selection, specialists were able to develop excellent varieties for this region.

Tomatoes for Siberia - the best varieties

When purchasing seeds, pay attention to the following characteristics:

The plants are not demanding on lighting, and the fruit ripening period is suitable for the short Siberian summer.
Tomatoes grow well in areas with highly frozen soil.
They are resistant to late blight.

It is worth choosing those varieties of tomatoes that were bred by breeders specifically for Siberia.

Good Siberian tomatoes without late blight

Late blight is a fungal disease that affects many varieties of tomatoes. The disease affects the entire plant, including the fruits. Hybrid tomatoes are considered the most resistant to late blight.

King of Siberia

Medium early variety of indeterminate type bush. The plant is at the stage of experimental cultivation. The tomato does not produce many sprouts. The base is formed from two stems. The leaf blade is slightly corrugated, small in size, dark green in color. The root shoots are powerful, strongly growing to the sides. The King of Siberia is a self-pollinating tomato.

korol-sibiri

Large-fruited tomatoes are heart-shaped, bright orange, weighing 500 - 800 grams. The peel is smooth and does not crack. The pulp is dense, plump, sweet in taste. The crop is frost-resistant, undemanding to moisture, and bears fruit consistently. Does not suffer from tobacco mosaic or late blight.

Advantages of tomato varieties of Siberian selection

Greenhouse tomatoes for Siberia (large, sweet varieties are suitable for growing in a small area) have the following advantages:

Productivity does not depend on the amount of nutrients in the soil.

Tomatoes for Siberia - growing in greenhouses

Rapid ripening in short summer conditions.
Excellent taste of fruits obtained thanks to Siberian selection.
Plant resistance to diseases characteristic of tomatoes.
Highly resistant to temperature changes, even in regions with high moisture content.
Do not need bright sunlight.

In addition, tomato varieties are suitable for canning and eating fresh.

How to choose the date for planting tomatoes in a greenhouse

There is no exact date for this operation in all parts of Siberia. You can determine the best time by taking into account several factors:

Weather forecast;
What was the climate like in previous seasons?
Purchased tomato variety;
Planting dates recommended by the manufacturer, indicated on the package of seeds;
Condition and age of seedlings at the time of transplantation;
Is it possible to regulate the soil temperature in the greenhouse?

The most productive varieties for Siberia

Greenhouse tomatoes for Siberia (large, sweet fruits are always a priority) are in great demand due to their increased yield.

Tomatoes for Siberia features and photos

Siberia is not the most successful region of the country for cultivating tomatoes. But every year the general availability of universal species increases. Breeders have developed special varieties that ripen in a short period, do not require lighting or constant care, and are resistant to natural conditions. There are many such types. Tomatoes differ in size and cultivation method.

tomatoes in open ground in Siberia

Subjectively bred varieties of tomatoes for Siberia for open ground are intended for cultivation in places where the ground freezes. The lack of nutrients in the soil mixture does not prevent the germination of vegetable crops. Tomatoes have features that are superior to other types. They ripen quickly, are unpretentious to sunlight and resistant to low temperatures. They are immune to infections and have excellent taste. High yield with small size.

Advice! Buy several varieties at once.

Growing a plant is not difficult, but follow the general care rules:

The crop needs timely, abundant watering.
To obtain a large harvest, tomatoes are fertilized with mineral fertilizers 3 times.
Many tomatoes of Siberian selection are tied up.
Prevent diseases and pests.
Monitor the condition of the ground.

Taking into account the parameters, the best varieties of tomatoes for Siberia were found; we will study the description and photo further.

How you can make the soil warm in a greenhouse for Siberia

The main task of garden owners in Siberia is to create warm soil in their greenhouse as early as possible. There are several ways to do this, the most common of which are:

Heating the soil using underground water pipes, electrical cables, hot steam pipes, stove heating with a chimney, and other artificial heating methods. These are effective methods, but such soil heating will require significant financial costs;
An inexpensive method is biological heating of the soil. To do this, dig a trench 0.5 meters deep. Organic residues from the garden, manure, straw, and unrotted compost are placed in it. The main thing is to use organic components that will decompose. When organic matter rots, a lot of heat is released, which will warm the soil in the greenhouse for a long time. The top of the filled trench is covered with soil with a layer of at least 40 cm; if there is a small layer of soil (less than 30 cm), the roots of the tomatoes will simply burn.

Important! A good result can be obtained if you plant tomatoes in cold Siberia in a greenhouse in bags with fertile soil and simply lay them on the ground. You can use tubs or boxes for planting; in extreme cases, make a raised bed - try to lift the roots of the plants above the ground surface by any means.

You can plant tomatoes in a wooden box; it is made in the fall and the required amount of nutritious soil is prepared. In the spring, organic components are poured into the bottom of the box, compacted well and covered with a layer of earth on top. After this, tomato seedlings are produced - the root system of the plants will be heated by decaying organic matter until all the organic matter rots.

Large-fruited varieties

Large-fruited varieties have a main drawback - due to their large fruits, they are practically unsuitable for preservation. Also, the bushes cannot bear fruit in large quantities. The clusters produce few fruits, but their small amount is compensated by their huge (by tomato standards) volume.
