Review of super-determinate tomato varieties for greenhouses and open field
In areas of risky farming, superdeterminate tomatoes are mainly grown, in which the fruits ripen in a relatively short period after germination. Agrarian breeders annually develop new hybrids with ultra-early ripening. Typically, this interval is less than 100 days after germination.
What is it - a super-determinant tomato variety and a determinant
Tomato varieties with short stems are called determinant. The growth of the stem in such plants ends after the appearance of 4 - 5 brushes. They tend to produce an ultra-early harvest. These varieties of tomatoes for open ground sometimes require the removal of side shoots, otherwise multiple fruits will form, which will delay the ripening of tomatoes. Superdeterminate varieties are planted in open-plan beds in the southern regions and in central Russia. In the northern regions, such tomatoes can only be grown in a greenhouse.
Sometimes they need to be tied to stationary supports. Superdeterminant (with some change in determinant tomato varieties) is characterized by the property of very fast ripening. The process of removing the lateral stems is not important for them.
