Tomatoes of Dutch selection are popular among Russian summer residents due to their disease resistance and high commercial properties. The choice of seeds is huge, but in most regions of the country, mainly super-early Dutch tomatoes are cultivated in greenhouses. They manage to produce a harvest and ripen on the bushes before the onset of cold weather, which is important in a temperate climate. Fruits ripened in greenhouses are smooth and suitable for storage and transportation. The taste may not be as rich as traditional varieties, but the hybrids have excellent yields and early fruit harvest.

For greenhouses
Holland is a country where most of the territories are located below sea level. The literally titanic work of the residents of the state made it possible to transform the swampy central spaces into lands suitable for agricultural activities. And the country’s climate is quite harsh, the average temperature in July is only 17 degrees. That is why Dutch breeders have created many varieties of vegetable crops for greenhouses of varying degrees of protection.

Dealers offer Dutch tomato seeds for greenhouses, taking into account growing methods. After all, even inexperienced gardeners and gardeners know the technology of growing plants without using land, invented by the inventive Dutch. The soil is replaced with a material that retains moisture well.
It is quite difficult to create ideal conditions for plants in a regular garden greenhouse. It is necessary to select tomato seeds that are most suitable for local conditions.

Dutch breeders endowed the Polbig tomato with cold resistance
Classic F1
For lovers of canned and pickled tomatoes, we recommend the Classic hybrid. Its fruits are elongated, dense, resembling cylinders of regular shape.
The plants are compact, do not exceed a meter in height, and are densely leafy. The brushes begin to “knit” after the 7th leaf, then the inflorescences go through the leaf.
Since during the fruiting period the bush is overloaded with tomatoes, not only the shoots, but also the brushes are tied up. From one small bush, 3-4 kg of tasty fruits are collected. The tomatoes are bright red, with glossy skin and dense flesh.
Universal use:
- salads;
- slicing;
- conservation;
- pickling;
- drying.
The tomato grows well in shelter, is resistant to temperature changes, and does not reduce productivity during prolonged drought. Needs proper fertilizing and high-quality watering.
Caring for Dutch selection plants
The best varieties of tomatoes require careful attention and adherence to certain rules. Their productivity, fertility of one cluster, taste, and ripening period depend on this. The main criterion for successful growth and ripening of the fruit is proper watering of the plants. You can water in different ways, but the best option among experienced gardeners is considered to be irrigating the plant using the drip method. It is carried out from below; for this purpose, perforated pipes are placed in the grooves and formed in one row. A watering hose is connected to the pipes. Water flows through the holes in thin streams, and not only the soil is irrigated, but the entire plant is refreshed.
Rainwater is used for irrigation, but you can use tap water, first bringing it to room temperature. It is a good idea to water seedlings that have just been planted in the ground with salt water.
Dutch farmers fertilize various varieties and hybrids without applying it to the plant. It is believed that by acting on the leaves, you can get a better effect. For this purpose, once a week, a tomato bush of Dutch selection in open ground is sprayed with a mixture of magnesium and boron.
If there is a lack of calcium in the soil, the fruits will spoil. To avoid this, the soil should be flavored with ash.

F1 debut
The originator of this early-ripening “Dutch” is Monsanto. The hybrid is positioned as resistant to diseases (verticillium, fusarium), early and productive (4-5 kg per bush).
Description:
- determinate tomato;
- small foliage, brushes come after 6-7 leaf blades;
- needs support;
- partial stepsoning, depending on the situation;
- fruits are round, slightly flattened on top;
- color – orange-red, weigh approximately 180-230 grams.
The tomato is suitable for greenhouse cultivation and does not reduce yield in low light conditions. To achieve maximum performance, it is necessary to carry out 4-5 feedings during the season and regulate watering. The fruits are used for juice, paste, puree, salads and slices, as well as for eating fresh.
For open ground
Hybrids also have a disadvantage. The taste of the fruits is inferior to the usual varieties, but they do not leak juice during transportation. When ripened in an area illuminated by sunlight, tomatoes acquire sugar content and a weak aroma.
In favorable climate conditions, gardeners prefer to plant tomatoes in the garden.
Polfast
The hybrid variety is distinguished by a powerful, low bush, can withstand drought, and is not affected by common diseases. The fruits also set in cool weather and ripen 3 months after the sprouts appear. Tomatoes of the Polfast F1 hybrid when ripened have:

- scarlet color;
- elastic skin;
- sweetish pulp.
The ribbed fruits are collected in clusters and weigh more than 100 g. Tomatoes are suitable for winter preparations and placed in salads.
Debut
The determinate hybrid is valued for its early harvest; the first tomatoes are picked earlier than after 3 months. Low-growing bushes do not have time to get late blight. The plant is practically not affected:
- leaf spotting;
- fusarium;
- verticillium wilt;
- Alternaria blight.
Up to 5 kg of round tomatoes of classic color are removed from a tomato bush. Under favorable conditions and proper care, individual specimens weigh 230–250 g.
Tarpan
The hybrid variety is adapted to temperate climates. On compact, weakly leafy bushes, clusters of 5 or 6 inflorescences are formed. As tomatoes ripen, they acquire a pink color and a sweet taste. Their pulp is juicy and the skin is dense, so the tomatoes are well stored and do not lose their appearance when transported over long distances. The weight of individual copies is 200 g, per 1 sq. m on average, 9.7 kg are torn.
Tanya
The determinate variety is distinguished by spreading bushes with large leaves and a height of about 60 cm. The tomato tolerates heat well, does not require formation and pinching, is not affected by verticillium wilt, gray spot, and does not have time to get late blight. The first ovary appears under the 7th leaf.
For 1 sq. meter, when planting 5 bushes of the Tanya F 1 variety, more than 4.5 kg of round tomatoes are harvested 80 days after the sprouts emerge.

Big Beef F1
A favorite of Russian gardeners, it is valued for its productivity and unpretentiousness. It produces fruits in any conditions, but the performance is higher when grown in greenhouses in compliance with the rules of hybrid agricultural technology. The hybrid was bred by Monsanto breeders and has been on the State Register since 2008.
On a note!
Seeds from first generation hybrids labeled F1 are not collected for sowing. Every year they buy new seed material.
Tomatoes reach technical ripeness in 98-100 days, and after another 10-14 days they fully ripen on the bush. They are usually harvested green and placed in boxes and crates for ripening at home.
The bushes of this tomato are powerful, of unlimited growth, almost two meters high. They are grown in one stem, this is how larger tomatoes are obtained (up to 250-300 grams).
The plants are tall and have large leaves. The fruits are almost invisible due to the greenery of the bush, so when caring, the lower leaves must be removed. Tomatoes are large and fleshy, so they are often processed into juice and paste. Delicious fresh, in salads.
Features of Dutch selection seeds
Some gardeners believe that imported tomato varieties are good on their own and give a rich harvest. This is not an entirely correct statement. The fact is that the yield and quality of seed depend on several factors:
- from the manufacturing company;
- on the compliance of growing conditions with those required according to the description;
- on the quality of care.
Therefore, if you decide to purchase Dutch varieties, carefully study the information on the packaging. It is possible that conditions in the region will not be suitable, although the import of seeds by companies is usually carried out in accordance with these requirements.
When grown in greenhouses
In order for tomatoes to grow and bear fruit indoors, breeders need to work hard. That is why most of the tomatoes presented are hybrids. The most important parameters for choosing seeds are:
- disease resistance;
- speed of maturation;
- special requirements for growing conditions;
- taste and use of fruits.
It often happens that the soil in a greenhouse is contaminated or too moist, and no treatments lead to an improvement in the situation. Pay attention to resistant hybrids in this case.
Important! Hybrids differ from varieties in their incredible durability and growth vigor.
However, collecting seeds from large fruits for the purpose of their further cultivation does not make any sense, since only varietal tomatoes are capable of producing a harvest in the future.
Let's look at the best Dutch varieties and hybrids of tomatoes that can be found on the shelves of our stores.
Berberana F1

Features of growing Dutch tomatoes
Today, tomato varieties of Dutch selection are very popular, which are distinguished by good commercial quality of fruits and resistance to viruses and diseases. They are unpretentious and practically do not require fertilizing with expensive fertilizers.
The breeders shared the secrets of the Dutch technology for growing tomatoes, thanks to which you can get a rich harvest:
- To root the plant, it is not soil that is used, but mineral wool. This is explained by the fact that pests often appear in the soil, to destroy which it will be necessary to use special preparations that are harmful to the human body.
- Tomatoes are grown on a small plot of land in bags or containers with a nutrient substrate. Two tomato sprouts are planted per square meter. The distance between sprouts should be about 55 cm, and between rows - 70-90 cm.
- Before sowing seeds, drainage is placed at the bottom of the container, then moistened mineral soil. The seeds are sprinkled with sand and vermiculite on top.
- When growing a crop in a greenhouse, it is recommended to introduce insects into it to pollinate the plants.
- In order for the bushes to grow healthy and strong, dried, limp leaves should be removed from them in a timely manner and unnecessary ovaries should be trimmed.
- The seedlings are comprehensively fed with ready-made fertilizers, which contain all the necessary components.
- The air temperature for plants grown using Dutch technology should be within +19 degrees during the day, and at night at least +17 degrees. It is best if there is a constant temperature during the day within 17–18 degrees Celsius.
- Air humidity in greenhouses should be at least 65–75%. With less humidity, the fruits will grow fibrous and hard.
- Watering is done by drip method so that the bushes are irrigated from below.
- The harvest should be done every morning. In order for late fruits to ripen faster, the stem is coated with ethylene, and the bushes are covered with film.
- After harvesting the entire crop, the bushes must be cleared and the soil replaced or disinfected. After this, you can sow new seeds.
