Heat-resistant tomatoes for the south of Russia for 2022: suitable varieties, detailed description and photos, growing tips

The regions of Russia differ significantly in their climatic conditions. Therefore, when choosing tomatoes for planting in the south in 2022, they give priority to heat-resistant, zoned varieties and hybrids. Domestic and foreign breeders offer dozens of types of tomatoes that are resistant to elevated temperatures, drought, and pest diseases.

Tomato varieties for winter growing in greenhouses

The catalogs provide descriptions of varieties with photos, but the heat resistance indicator is not always indicated. Experienced gardeners have already identified the most suitable tomatoes for themselves, having tested them in practice. But every year new species appear, more productive and easier to care for.

Features of the region

The climate in the south of Russia is divided into temperate continental and subtropical. Moderate weather conditions are established on the continental territory. Along the Black Sea coast, climatic conditions acquire subtropical shapes. The weather conditions of the southern part of the Russian Federation allow most vegetable crops to be grown in open ground. Weather by season:

winter is relatively warm. The weather is unstable, but the frosts are not severe, and the soil does not freeze deeply. There is more precipitation in mountainous areas than in plains. The average air temperature ranges from +5°C to -20°C;
spring is early and warm. In March the snow begins to melt abundantly. In April, daytime temperatures reach +15-18°C, which allows seedlings to be planted in open ground under temporary shelters. Often suffers from floods in early spring;
Summer begins not in June, but in May, and lasts until mid-September. The weather is hot. Unstable circulation of air masses often leads to showers, thunderstorms, and hail. The maximum temperature reaches +40°C. To grow vegetables, you need to select heat-resistant tomatoes and install irrigation;
Autumn is warm, the beginning of September is more like summer. Harvesting for winter storage is carried out until November.

Interesting fact! Until the 18th century, tomatoes in Russia were considered poisonous.

Useful tips for gardeners

The gardening season for southern summer residents begins in the last winter month. Compared to other regions of the country, it is easiest to grow good fleshy tomatoes here, since the soil is rich in black soil and the warmth lasts most of the year. However, despite these positive aspects, 2 serious problems need to be overcome - heat and drought. Local gardeners share their experience in growing crops and recommend:

When growing tomatoes in open ground, install a shading net or any other fabric cover. They will be effective against the aggressive sun at midday and protect leaves and fruits from burns. Do not use film: condensation will accumulate under it, and high humidity increases the risk of infection with fungal spores;
do not use foliar watering. If you water the seedlings with a hose, the drops of water remaining on the leaves will attract the sun, which will damage the plants;
Carefully loosen the soil after watering. Good air exchange is necessary for the development and nutrition of the root system;
mulch the soil with sawdust, hay, straw. To protect the soil from drying out, lay a thin layer of mulch after watering. It retains water in the soil, and a hard, airtight crust will not form on the surface;
pinching the stems. This concerns indeterminates, since plants often become fattened. Trimming excess stepsons will only increase the yield;
Carry out regular feedings, the interval between them should be 10–14 days. During the entire growing period, 3-4 times are enough. At the beginning of the season, use fertilizers with a high nitrogen content, and subsequent times for fertilizing, choose potassium, phosphorus and complex additives;
treat plants against pests and diseases 1-2 times during the entire growing period. Even if the crop is resistant to fungal and viral diseases, periodically spray the bushes with fungicidal and insecticidal agents for immunity. This reduces the risk of infection to zero.

On a note!

Harvest ripe tomatoes in season regularly. If you do not remove them from the bush in time, the fruits will become overripe and prevent the formation of new ones, causing fruiting to decrease.

Tomato varieties intended for cultivation in the south are considered one of the most successful. They rarely get sick, are distinguished by early ripening and excellent rich taste. They are often planted in different areas, but because they are thermophilic, they are planted only in a greenhouse or greenhouse.

Incorrectly selected seeds. Greenhouse varieties will not give the same results in an open garden bed as in protected ground.
Pay attention to the seeds you collect yourself. If the planting material was collected from hybrids, then next year you will not get a harvest from the sown seeds.
Form the bushes according to the recommendations from the originator. If there are no such tips, they are not indicated on the packaging.
Do not pull the stems of tall tomatoes when tying them to the support.
Trim the shoots when they do not exceed 3-4 cm. If you do not trim on time, the plant will begin to waste its energy on their growth, which will lead to a decrease in yield.
Untimely feeding and treatment against pests and diseases leads to the death of vegetable crops.
You can't water tomatoes every day. Irrigate plants at the root once or twice a week.

The best varieties of tomatoes for hot summers

Foresighted vegetable growers have tomato seedlings already growing. However, until the end of April there is still time to sow in separate pots

special varieties that will certainly not leave you without a harvest in an abnormal summer. What if there is another heat wave or other disasters? Just in case, you should be on the safe side and set aside a place in the greenhouse in advance for resistant plants.

Last season, many F 1 varieties and hybrids could hardly tolerate hot dry air, cracked soil, extreme

stuffiness.

Not only in greenhouses, but also in open gardens, the leaves on the bushes curled like a boat, the fruits were affected by blossom end rot,

cracks furrowed. The result is low yield.

F hybrids are almost completely insured against all these troubles: Botanik, Evpator, Torzhok, Russian size. What other hardships threaten nightshades? Flowers that bloom profusely on the branches may dry out and fall off, and

the remaining ones do not form fruits.

If the temperature in the greenhouse is above 35°C and the pollen on the flowers becomes sterile, F hybrids set good fruit: Aramis,

Fantomas, Portland and varieties Mandarin, Parodist.

Deep cracks near the stalk usually appear due to large differences between day and night temperatures, irregular

or too cold water procedures.

Tomatoes spoil while still on the vine, and even if they ripen, they are poorly stored and are not suitable for canning.

The most resistant to fruit cracking are F hybrids: Samara, Pharaoh, Reflex, Vladimir, Virtuoso, Boheme.

Verlioka plus, Kostroma, Margarita can withstand a variety of stress, sudden transitions from heat to coolness

Prolonged heat above 34°C causes burns of leaves and fruits. Overheating of the soil leads to partial damage and death of surface roots and their burns. And here it’s worth choosing varieties of heat-resistant tomatoes specially created for the southern regions, such as Gazpacho.
