Description of the best tomato varieties for greenhouses in the Kirov region

Growing tomatoes in a greenhouse in the Kirov region is entirely feasible. A greenhouse makes it easier to create a microclimate for tomatoes. Farmers strive to saturate the market with early-season vegetables. However, in the harsh climate with its short summers and early autumn, a successful tomato harvest is only possible in greenhouses. It's important to choose varieties and hybrids that produce fruit in low heat and sunlight conditions, i.e., those grown in greenhouses.

The most popular varieties for the Kirov region

Tomatoes are a heat- and light-loving crop. Furthermore, the plant has a long growing season. To ensure a guaranteed harvest, it's important to know which varieties and hybrids to plant. It's recommended to pay attention to their characteristics, such as shade tolerance and growth and fruit set at moderate average daily temperatures.

Breeders are developing new tomato varieties specifically for this region. Regionalized tomatoes should be planted in the Kirov region first.
