Tomato CAPPELLO

Reliable Choice: The "Capello" Tomato by Global Sids

In the segment of determinate tomatoes, the "Capello" hybrid occupies a niche of versatile varieties aimed at both private gardening and small-scale commercial farming. Developed by the breeding team led by Dmitry Gladkov and Anna Semenova (LLC Global Sids), this variety addresses the market demand for compact, high-yielding plants that provide predictable results.

Agronomic Potential and Characteristics

"Capello" is an early-ripening crop: it takes no more than 90 days from germination to the start of fruit production. This rapid development cycle allows for a marketable harvest in a short timeframe, which is critical for regions with shorter growing seasons. The key characteristics of the fruit make it an excellent choice for commercial trade:

• Mass and Shape: The 100-150 gram fruits feature a precise plum shape, which simplifies packaging and storage.
• Transportability: The firm skin and flesh structure ensure excellent durability during transit, a rarity for early-ripening determinate varieties.
• Color: The vibrant red color of the fruits retains its commercial appeal even after prolonged shelf storage.

Protection and Resistance

A key strength of "Capello" is its genetic resistance to a range of diseases that typically plague tomatoes in open fields and plastic greenhouses. The breeders prioritized resistance to Verticillium wilt and Fusarium wilt—the most dangerous pathogens that can destroy a significant portion of a crop during the season. This significantly reduces the need for frequent fungicide applications, simplifying environmentally conscious farming practices.

The variety is highly recommended for whole-fruit canning and the fresh market. Its stable plant habit and high fruit-setting capacity make "Capello" a reliable tool for professional growers working in temperate climates.
