Tomato ALEXANDER FIRST is an early-maturing determinate hybrid intended for cultivation in open ground and under plastic coverings. The plant reaches a height of 1.0 to 1.5 meters and features medium-sized green leaves and simple inflorescences. Seedlings should be sown in March–April, with harvest occurring in July–August, allowing for relatively short fruiting periods — 105–110 days after sowing.
The fruits are round, slightly flattened, bright red when ripe, weighing from 180 to 300 grams. They have a firm skin, medium density, and slightly ribbed surface. The flesh is juicy and meaty, with high and balanced sugar and organic acid content, ensuring excellent taste. The fruits contain more than six locules, and the peduncle has a joint, facilitating harvest.
The hybrid is characterized by high yield — 10 to 16 kg per square meter — making it attractive for large-scale production. It is resistant to a complex of diseases and stress conditions, as well as fruit cracking. Thanks to these qualities, the tomatoes withstand transportation well and can be stored under optimal conditions for 2–3 months. The versatile use of this variety allows it to be used both for salad consumption and for other culinary purposes.
