Get good harvest in a short time is not easy. This will help specially bred low-growing tomatoes for open ground. Today there is a huge variety of varieties.
Tomatoes for open ground
"Watercolor". Early variety (3 months), standard bush height 50 cm, seedlings do not stretch. The fruits are elongated, red (90-110 g) with a dense skin. They have good keeping quality and excellent taste qualities that are not lost after ripening. The variety is intended for canning and fresh consumption, resistant to blossom end rot and septoria.
"Supermodel". Mid-early variety with long fruits up to 10-12 cm. Standard bush 60-75 cm high. Raspberry-colored fruits, moderately dense, weighing 120 g. Suitable for pickling and preservation.
"El Dorado". Yielding variety with oval-heart-shaped fruits of yellow-lemon color, weighing 200-250 g. The height of the standard bush is 50-80 cm.
"Precocious". The height of the bush is 60 cm. The shape of the fruit is flat-round, the color is red, the weight is 170-200 gr. Differs in unpretentiousness, early return of a crop, excellent zavyazyvayemost of fruits in the conditions of the lowered temperatures.
"Golden Stream". A plant resistant to temperature changes. Very early variety with bright orange, smooth fruits, weighing 100 g, elongated ellipsoid shape. Differs in good productivity and resistance to many diseases.
"Red Fang". The ultra-early variety is simply strewn with red shiny finger-shaped fruits, weighing 40 g. Designed for whole-fruit canning and fresh consumption. Bush 90 cm high.
The above undersized tomatoes that do not require pinching ripen quickly enough, which allows them to avoid late blight.
What tomatoes are grown outdoors?
The main difference between undersized and early ripening varieties is the low location of the first flower brush - over 4-5 real leaves. Neighboring inflorescences can be located one after another. Or separated by one sheet. The growth of the bush is limited by a flower brush.
Low-growing tomatoes for open ground have time to give the crop before the onset of cold rains. Unripe tomatoes ripen well in boxes. Superdeterminant undersized outdoor tomatoes have a short fruiting period. Their fruits are medium-sized, weighing up to 100 grams, mainly for canning purposes.
Determinate varieties can also be grown in the same way. They differ in greater height - up to 1 meter and require a garter to a support. The first flower brush is located above the 5th leaf. The fruits are larger - up to 200 g. The inflorescences are separated by one or two leaves. These short growing outdoor tomatoes are of the limited growth type.
Landing dates
In undersized tomatoes that do not require pinching, they are planted at different times - depending on the region. So, in the southern regions - on the fifteenth of May, in the middle lane - at the beginning of June. In northern latitudes, planting is carried out when daytime positive temperatures reach 14-15 degrees, and the threat of night frosts passes - June 10-15.
Soil preparation
Low-growing tomatoes that do not require pinching feel good on loamy and sandy soils rich in humus, with a neutral reaction.
The ridges are located in places that are well warmed up and protected from the wind. In one place, tomatoes can be grown for no more than 3 years, in order to avoid the accumulation of pests and diseases in the soil. Good predecessor crops are cabbage, onion, zucchini, carrots. You can not grow tomatoes after peppers, potatoes, eggplants, physalis, as they belong to the nightshade family and have the same pests and the same diseases.
Under early low-growing tomatoes, fresh manure is not introduced, which contains a lot of nitrogen and allows you to build up a large number of green mass to the detriment of fruiting. Therefore, from organic fertilizers only humus is allowed - a bucket for 2-3 holes. Mineral complex fertilizers (for example, nitrophoska) are applied in the spring for digging.
Yielding low-growing tomatoes prefer medium-heavy soils. Therefore, clay and peat are added to the sandy soil. This allows you to make it coherent and better retain moisture. AT clay soils on the contrary, sand, rotted sawdust or leaves, peat are added.
Spill the soil before digging blue vitriol(1 tablespoon per bucket of water) at the rate of 2 liters per square meter. Ridges for tomatoes are made low so that water does not drain from them when watering.
Transplanting
Plants are placed in a checkerboard pattern or ribbons. The feeding area for early tomatoes needs 30 x 40 cm, mid-season - 50 x 50 cm.
Wells with a diameter of 30 cm after the introduction of humus are shed with a pink solution of potassium permanganate and not overgrown seedlings are planted without deepening. For overgrown seedlings, it is permissible up to 10-15 cm with the removal of one or two leaves. With the deep method, the loss of fruits from the first brush is possible if it has already gained color.
It is desirable to process seedlings for prevention Bordeaux mixture before landing, which is carried out in cloudy weather or in the evening. If the sun suddenly appeared, the seedlings are covered from above to create shade.
The plant should be 30 cm high, stem thickness 0.8-1 cm, 7-8 leaves and one brush that has gained color. After planting, it is better to mulch the soil - this will protect it from drying out and cracking. For this, humus, rotted sawdust, last year's dry leaves or straw can be used.
For middle lane ripening dates for tomatoes in the open field are expected from July 15 (early) and August 5 (mid-ripening).
Harvest tomatoes
Tomatoes undersized without pinching varieties "rocker", "baskak", "betta", "bony m" and others give 2-3 kg of fruit per plant. They are distinguished by early yield of the crop and ripening of tomatoes on the bush.
In addition to varieties with canning fruits, large-fruited salad varieties can also be purchased today.
For example, undersized tomatoes without staking varieties "Friday F1" reach a weight of 220 g, "tourmaline"- 160-180 g, "Russian delicious"- 300 g. Productivity, respectively, 5, 4, 6 kg from one bush.
Large-fruited varieties
A common misconception is that early ripening low tomatoes can only have small fruits. But undersized prove that this is not so.
"Fat Jack" An early powerful variety with a height of 60 cm. Fleshy, sweet, red fruits weighing 250 g have high taste and good keeping quality. Plants are unpretentious to growing conditions.
Low-growing early ripening tomatoes are also represented by a variety "darling". Plant height 60 cm. Fruits are round, smooth, weighing 150 g, do not crack, salad purpose. Plants tolerate drought and a slight cold snap. Fruits can be tied in not very favorable conditions.
"Mirage". Another large-fruited variety with spreading bushes 60 cm high. Red fruits of a flat-round shape with good taste, weighing 250-270 g.
"Knight". Perhaps the best variety, medium early, unusually productive. The height of the bush is 65 cm. Fleshy fruits weighing 250 g, at the beginning of fruiting reach 300 g.
"Apparently-invisible." An early ripe tomato 50 cm high is strewn with uniform red fruits weighing 130-150 g. Resistant to fungal diseases.
"Little A". Very interesting cherry tomato undersized. It is grown both in open ground, and in a pot in an apartment, and on a balcony, and even in a hanging container. It forms a compact bush standard form and many bright red, sweet fruits.
Care
All activities are reduced to timely loosening, watering, fertilizing and disease prevention.
If the ridges with tomatoes are mulched, then loosening is not required - only the removal of rare weeds. Watering in this case can also be reduced - the soil will not crack and moisture will evaporate less.
Providing tomatoes with sufficient water is a necessary condition for a high yield. Water the plants along the aisles or under the root once every five to seven days. The soil should be moistened to the depth of the main roots - 30-40 cm. It should be remembered that uneven watering contributes to fruit cracking.
top dressing
During the growing season, fertilization in dissolved form will be required. The first feeding is carried out half a month after planting the seedlings in the ground. For this, a fertilizer consisting of phosphorus and potassium is used. The second top dressing is done with a complete complex fertilizer (nitrophoska) a month after the first. The third consists of potassium and nitrogen for the speedy ripening of fruits and is carried out a month after the second, in mid-August.
For the formation of ovaries during flowering, you can spray the flowers with this solution: 1 g boric acid and 1 tsp. baking soda to 1 liter of water.
Tomatoes also respond well to foliar top dressing with microelements twice a season.
Root top dressing is best combined with watering. First, lightly saturate the earth with water. Then add a fertilizer solution, and after top dressing, water again. Once a month, you can add a little potassium permanganate to the water. Such irrigation is the prevention of late blight, increases the sugar content of fruits and ripening occurs faster.
Signs of starvation in tomatoes
If the plant lacks nitrogen, then the leaves become light green, pale. Phosphorus deficiency is expressed by the appearance purple hue leaves or lower part of the stem. If the plant begins to dry out, then you need to urgently feed with potassium. Twisted leaves indicate that potassium and nitrogen need to be added.
How does excess fertilizer affect?
With excessive nitrogen, the plant will intensively increase its green mass (“fatten”), there will be no flowering. An excess of phosphorus fertilizers will lead to the fall of flowers and ovaries, yellowing of the leaves. The search for potassium is expressed in the appearance of dull spots.
Now on sale you can find a lot of different varieties of tomatoes. At the sight of so many colorful bags, not only a beginner, but also an experienced gardener can get confused. How to choose the most productive and unpretentious undersized varieties tomatoes for open ground? To do this, it is necessary to take into account the characteristics of the growing region, the requirements for yield and early maturity, and decide whether you will pinch the bushes. Only after that you can go to the store for seeds.
Variety of varieties
Obviously, greenhouse and ground tomatoes differ in many ways. In the greenhouse, plants are artificially created suitable conditions, while tomatoes growing under open sky forced to adapt themselves to environment. Based on this, tomatoes should have the following qualities:
- short stature, because long lashes are difficult to tie up, moreover, they can be easily damaged by gusts of wind;
- disease resistance;
- general unpretentiousness, that is, tomatoes should easily adapt to weather conditions and temperature changes;
- optimal ripening time to have time to harvest even in the conditions of a short summer.
Most low-growing varieties of tomatoes for open ground meet these requirements. That is why they are so popular among vegetable growers. For compact bushes you don’t have to build large-scale expensive supports, ordinary pegs are quite enough.
Such tomatoes grow quickly, bear fruit abundantly and amicably. These plants are less susceptible to disease compared to their tall greenhouse counterparts.
Low growing tomatoes are very productive
How to choose the right variety
Almost all undersized tomatoes belong to the determinant group. This means that their bushes grow to a certain height and stop there. The first brush they form, as a rule, above the fifth sheet, and all subsequent brushes through one or two sheets. Having fruited, the plant does not develop further, but dries up.
Fruiting in undersized tomatoes is friendly - the fruits ripen almost simultaneously, so you should take care of selecting several varieties with different periods maturation. However, you can get by with one, planting seedlings in several stages with an interval of 2-3 weeks.
Determinate low-growing tomatoes require pinching, because their stem branches very strongly. So that the plant does not turn into a cluster of infertile shoots, it is framed in one or two trunks, removing excess shoots. If pinching is not possible for any reason, it is better to plant superdeterminant varieties. This is a species of low-growing tomatoes with a weakly branching trunk, where all the shoots are fruit-bearing.
In regions with a short summer for open ground, it is better to buy seeds of undersized tomatoes with the shortest ripening period so that the fruits have time to ripen before the cold weather.
Most undersized tomatoes require pinching
The best varieties of undersized tomatoes
When wondering which tomato seeds are not only undersized, but also productive, it is worth considering what is more important - the size of the fruits or their number. If a harvested crop it is supposed to be used for conservation, it is better to plant abundantly fruiting, but medium-sized tomatoes. For salads and snacks from fresh tomatoes, varieties with weighty fruits that ripen gradually are suitable.
Most domestic low-growing tomatoes can be harvested for seeds and next year grow seedlings from them.
However, if the package is marked F1, that is, a hybrid, the seeds of such tomatoes will have to be bought in the store every year. The fact is that hybrid varieties do not retain their qualities when re-cultivated.
Tomatoes for early harvest
Early undersized tomatoes are represented by many varieties. All of them distinguish fast growth and ripening crops in record time.

The choice of low-growing tomatoes for open ground is very rich. Skillfully combining different varieties and planting dates, you can enjoy fresh tomatoes, depending on the region, from June-July until the arrival of cold weather.
Early varieties of tomatoes for open ground are divided into several groups according to the type of growth. The parameter for classification is the height tomato bush. Undersized tomatoes for open ground are represented by four varieties, which are combined into two groups:
- determinant;
- superdeterminant.
Classification of tomatoes according to the type of bush growth
The height of early low-growing tomato varieties for open ground, belonging to the determinant group of plants, does not exceed one meter, superdeterminant plants are lower in growth, their upper limit is 80 cm.
A subgroup of standard plants is distinguished from determinant tomatoes. It includes varieties that have a compact root system and strong stem. Those varieties with a maximum bush height of less than 80 cm are classified as super determinant tomatoes.
There is a lot of open ground tomato with tall bushes (up to 2 m) with unlimited growth power. They are all combined into a group of indeterminate tomatoes. Indents require more attention, they take a lot of time to form bushes, and they need balanced top dressing for intensive fruiting. Therefore, we will compare productive varieties of tomatoes for open ground, included in the group of determinant plants.
Features of determinant tomatoes
Understand why everything is great early varieties most often of a determinant type, it is possible according to the following characteristics of the bush:
- the number of stepchildren is small;
- bushes branch weakly;
- short internodes;
- a limited number of inflorescences is formed on the bushes (6 pcs.).
After the formation of the number of fruits stated in the description, the bushes stop their growth. All their forces go to the ripening of the tomato, which is why the earliest varieties are usually of the determinant type.
Many super-early varieties of very small growth belong to the group of super determinant tomatoes. They stop growing after tying 3 brushes. Early stunting explains their precocity.
All standard tomatoes are high-yielding. Their bushes do not grow for a long time due to small roots, so the return of fruits is early. Having understood the terms, you can understand from the description of the variety which tomatoes for growing in open ground ripen earlier.
All about the virtues of low-growing tomatoes
You can name the reasons why you need to choose determinant early ripening varieties of tomatoes for open ground:
- low growth;

Low-growing plants do not need strong supports, some varieties do not need support at all. Determinate (superdeterminant) bushes are compact, a small amount of land is enough for them to grow. Determinant and superdeterminant varieties - great choice for small gardens.
Early maturity affects the timing of planting. For seedlings, low-growing varieties can be sown later. A short ripening period guarantees a harvest even with a late transplant (mid-June) of tomato seedlings in open ground.
Low early varieties of tomatoes rarely suffer from late blight. Phytophthora infects bushes in August, and determinant and superdeterminant varieties ripen in July. Fruits collected from healthy bushes are stored longer and are not damaged by the fungus.
Scientists have developed cold-resistant determinant varieties for open ground, some can be grown without seedlings. By sowing tomato seeds directly into the ground, summer residents significantly save time and effort.
Occupied at the main job of a summer resident, undersized tomatoes make it easier to care for. Many varieties do not need to be tied up, some do not need to remove stepchildren. The easiest way to care for standard tomatoes.
