641-18

Tomato KS 18 (Aysan) is a determinate variety with bright orange-pink fruits, characterized by high yield and stability. The plant is medium-late, maturing 120-140 days after sowing or approximately 80 days after transplanting seedlings. Fruits are large, weighing about 300 grams, meaty with few seed chambers and pronounced sweetness. Bushes are low-growing, reaching 80-100 cm in height, with strong stems and well-developed root systems, and abundant foliage protects the fruits from sunburn. 5-6 tomatoes form per cluster, ripening simultaneously and yielding up to 1 kilogram per plant.

Tomato KS 18 is successfully grown both in open ground and in greenhouses, demonstrating high fruit set even under challenging climatic conditions. For planting, a spacing of 40-50 cm between plants and about 150 cm between rows is recommended. Proper feeding during the vegetative period is essential: nitrogen fertilizer is beneficial before flowering, while potassium and calcium fertilizers are better combined with watering during fruiting. Watering should be moderate, especially during fruit ripening, approximately once a week.

This tomato variety is distinguished by good transportability and long storage life of ripe fruits, making it attractive for commercial cultivation and marketing. Due to its adaptability to various soil types and climatic conditions, Tomato KS 18 is widely used in vegetable production and suitable for cultivation in different regions.
