Amaral F1

A Reliable Choice for Industrial Tomato Production

For those managing large-scale greenhouse operations, the 'Amaral F1' hybrid from Enza Limited represents a balanced, high-performance solution. As an indeterminate variety, it requires systematic pruning and vine training, but it rewards the grower with consistent, heavy yields. The plant is remarkably resilient; its natural resistance to verticillium, fusarium, leaf mold (cladosporium), and tomato mosaic virus significantly reduces the need for aggressive chemical treatments, simplifying your crop protection program.

Yield and Fruit Quality

One of the primary benefits of operating with 'Amaral F1' is the harvest predictability. Fruits consistently weigh over 200 grams, with a uniform flat-round shape and a deep red color that stands out on retail shelves. The complex internal structure with over six locules ensures the fruits remain firm and meaty. Furthermore, the hybrid's resistance to root-knot nematodes makes it a highly viable option for soil-based greenhouses where pest pressure is a common constraint.

Logistics and Storage Efficiency

In the produce business, time is money. 'Amaral F1' is specifically noted for its excellent transportability, allowing you to move the harvest across long distances without sacrificing quality. With a shelf-life capability of 10-20 days, it gives you the flexibility to hold stock during price fluctuations. With yields ranging between 130-160 tons per hectare, the economics of this hybrid are strong, provided the standard intensive cultivation practices are met.

• Maturity: Under 90 days, enabling efficient harvest scheduling.
• Handling: Excellent durability during loading and transportation.
• Cultivation: High response to balanced fertilization programs.
