The methods of greenhouse and soil cultivation of tomatoes are very different, so experienced gardeners try to choose varieties that are most suitable for the selected cultivation methods.
Tall varieties
Tall species are selected for the greenhouse. Such tomatoes grow very well in a vegetable garden under a roof. They are good in that they form the ovary while stretching upward. They grow up to 3 meters in height and produce up to 50 fruit shoots, which bear many fruits. Often it is necessary to pinch them off, because the shoots are constantly giving new shoots. Thus, indoors, a richer harvest is obtained, due to the possibility of creating all conditions for the comfortable cultivation of more fertile species.
Such species do not grow on wind-blown soil, because very high. Therefore, undersized and medium-sized bushes are planted there.
Medium growing varieties
Bushes of medium size stretch up to a meter and release up to 5 - 6 fruit branches. Stepson pinches only a few times. Frequent plucking is not required. The harvest from such bushes is plentiful, but not as rich as from tall species.
Low-growing varieties
Low-growth plants are early ripening and give only up to 2 fruit branches. There are not many tomatoes and they are small in size.
Pollination
Pollination is another distinguishing feature of greenhouse and soil methods.
Despite the fact that all tomatoes themselves are pollinated, cross-pollination with the help of insects also occurs in their natural environment.
In the "garden under glass", due to the absence of insects, gardeners need to do artificial pollination themselves. It is carried out with a brush.
Temperature and humidity
Under the warm protection, tomato bushes are always finicky and tender. They are very sensitive to changes in temperature degrees and are susceptible to disease. Therefore, in greenhouses, they constantly monitor humidity and temperature. In a closed environment, plants very often fall ill with late blight. As a result, they constantly ventilate the room, but they open the vents only early in the morning so that tender tomatoes do not get stressed from the sudden change of heat and cold. Strictly monitor soil moisture to prevent overflow, or drying out of the soil. Otherwise, root decay begins, or vice versa, their drying.
Picky varieties are planted in open ground, and ventilation takes place in a natural environment. They are not afraid of night coolness and heat at noon. Such plants have good immunity and are rarely susceptible to fungal diseases. Only on wind-blown soil, these vegetables do not have time to ripen, due to the constant sharp drop in night and day temperatures. Usually they are cut off green and left to ripen.
There is no such need in greenhouses, and the fruits ripen on the spot.
If you choose the right varieties designed for the right conditions, you can equally get an excellent result, both in greenhouse and natural soil.
