Tomato Cinto F1 is an early-maturing, large-fruited indeterminate hybrid developed by the Dutch company Rijk Zwaan. The plant is tall, reaching heights of 1.8 to 3 meters, with short internodes, dense foliage, and a well-developed root system. The vegetation period lasts 90-100 days from seed sowing. The hybrid is characterized by high and stable yield, adapts well to various growing conditions, including polyethylene greenhouses during spring-summer and summer-autumn periods, as well as open ground.
The fruits of tomato Cinto F1 are large, round, bright red, with a glossy surface and dense structure. The weight of one tomato is 180-200 grams. The flesh is sweet, making this variety versatile: tomatoes are suitable for fresh consumption as well as for processing into puree and paste. The yield withstands transportation and field storage well, but after harvest requires prompt sale or processing.
For successful cultivation, Cinto F1 seeds are sown in trays or special containers at a depth of about 1 cm at a temperature of around +25 degrees, then the temperature is lowered to +15-+16 degrees for several days. Throughout the entire growth period, the optimal temperature is +20-+22 degrees during the day and +16-+18 degrees at night. Main agronomic measures include regular watering, weed removal, and fertilization. The hybrid is resistant to such diseases as cladosporiosis, verticillium, tobacco mosaic virus, and nematodes, ensuring reliable and high-quality harvest.
