Heinz1301 is an early determinate tomato hybrid developed by Heinz Seed. The vegetative period is 90-95 days, allowing for a quick harvest. The plant features a large, strong bush with good leaf cover, which effectively protects fruits from sunburn. The hybrid is suitable for open-ground cultivation, including organic farming, and is intended for both fresh market and processing. It is also suitable for mechanized harvesting, which simplifies harvest and increases productivity.
Heinz1301 fruits have an elongated-oval shape and red color, with an average weight of 60-70 grams. They are characterized by high density, ensuring excellent storability and outstanding transportability. Sugar content (Brix) ranges from 4.8-5.1%, indicating good taste and fruit quality. Due to these characteristics, the hybrid is popular among both producers and consumers.
The hybrid exhibits enhanced resistance to major tomato diseases, such as verticillium wilt, fusarium (races 1 and 2), alternaria, and leaf mold. This makes Heinz1301 a reliable choice for various climatic conditions and reduces the need for intensive chemical protection. The weight of 1000 seeds is 2-3 grams, and there are 300-330 seeds per gram, which is convenient for sowing and planting planning.
