For salting in barrels and canning, select certain varieties of tomato. Each species has its own characteristics, and you need to use them with maximum benefit. So, for pickling, it is better to choose tomatoes of a small size, with a dense skin. Fruits must be capable of long-term storage and have a number of mandatory criteria.

Difference tomato for salting

The product for preservation is selected according to a number of criteria:

  • small size, easily passing through the can neck;
  • dense skin, flesh;
  • small seeds;
  • a sweetish taste that appears due to an increased concentration of carbohydrates;
  • resistance to pathogenic microflora;
  • ability to long storage.

When planting on a site of several varieties, pickling is placed separately, which eliminates confusion when harvesting.

Benefits of seed selection by planting region

To obtain high-quality fruits during harvesting, select seed in the region of cultivation. Plants bred for a dry climate with high air temperature will not be able to actively grow and develop in climatic conditions of the middle zone, even when planting in a greenhouse, observing the regime of irrigation and feeding. The volume of ovaries, the quality of the product will be reduced, the period for achieving optimal maturity will be increased, and the storage period will shorten. Landing on a bed without additional cover is not safe. Night low temperatures will ruin the culture.

Recommendation!
To obtain a full crop, it is worth giving preference to zoned plant species that are adapted to specific climatic conditions.
