Tomato Derica F1 is an early determinate hybrid with a pear-shaped form, developed by specialists of Kitano Seeds. The vegetation period is 70-80 days from transplanting seedlings, or 100-110 days from sowing, allowing for a moderately early harvest. The plant is bushy with strong growth and abundant vegetative mass, which effectively protects the fruits from adverse external conditions. The hybrid is characterized by plasticity and wide adaptability to various growing conditions, making it low-maintenance in terms of climate and agronomy. It is recommended for cultivation in open ground, as well as possible use of temporary coverings. Additionally, the tomato is resistant to major diseases of the Solanaceae family, including Fusarium and Verticillium wilt.
The fruits of tomato Derica have an oval shape and intense red color both externally and internally. The average weight of the fruits is 100-120 grams. They are characterized by the absence of green spot at the stem attachment and white internal core, indicating high flesh quality. The fruits are thick-walled, juicy, and uniform, with a pleasant sweet taste. Such structure ensures good transportability and long-term storage, including on the vine, without loss of commercial and taste qualities.
Tomato Derica F1 is versatile in application: it is excellent for fresh consumption, salad and juice preparation, as well as for whole-fruit canning, since the fruits do not crack during thermal processing. High yield and disease resistance make this hybrid attractive for commercial cultivation and fresh vegetable trade. Due to its nutritional properties and attractive presentation, tomato Derica F1 is an excellent choice for farmers and gardeners aiming to obtain a high-quality and stable harvest.
