Tomato Bostina F1 — an early, tall, indeterminate hybrid from the Dutch breeding company Syngenta Seeds. The plant is intended for cultivation in plastic greenhouses using seedling planting, allowing for an early harvest from late April to the second decade of June. The vegetation period is 52-55 days after transplanting seedlings, and the total time from sowing to fruit ripening is 105-115 days. The crop is characterized by an intensive growth type and high yield dynamics, forming 7-9 compact clusters that do not droop even under difficult growing conditions.
The fruits of tomato Bostina F1 have a dark red color with a sheen, a flat-round shape with slight ribbing and a tendency to form a "nose." The average fruit weight is 200-220 grams. They are dense, very firm, and well-transportable, making this variety convenient for commercial cultivation and marketing. The flesh is juicy, with a pleasant taste and aroma, allowing the tomatoes to be used both fresh and for processing — canning, juice, paste, and ketchup production.
The hybrid exhibits high resistance to major tomato diseases, including Fusarium wilt, brown spot, tobacco mosaic virus, tomato mosaic disease, cladosporeosis, and verticillium wilt. For successful cultivation, regular watering, soil loosening, and planting in fertile soils are recommended. Due to its characteristics and resistance, tomato Bostina F1 is a reliable choice for spring-summer turnover in plastic greenhouses.
