Tomato Faber F1 is a mid-early hybrid developed by the Dutch breeding company Hazera, intended for cultivation in open ground and mechanized harvesting. The plant is strong, with moderate growth vigor, medium-leafed and tall, ensuring abundant fruit set even at elevated temperatures. The vegetative period is 80-85 days from transplanting, allowing harvest during the spring-summer season.
The fruits of tomato Faber F1 have an oval, plum-like shape, with an average weight of about 80 grams. They are a deep red color with dense, juicy flesh without a white core, providing a pleasant flavor and distinct aroma. The fruit skin is elastic, smooth, and glossy, which contributes to high resistance to cracking and excellent transportability over long distances. Dry matter (Brix) content is at 6.5-6.7, making this hybrid suitable both for fresh consumption and processing into tomato paste, ketchup, sauces, and preservation.
Tomato Faber F1 exhibits high resistance to major diseases such as Fusarium and Verticillium wilt, tobacco mosaic virus, and nematodes, significantly reducing cultivation risks. The recommended planting density is about 30,000 plants per hectare, promoting optimal growth and high yield. Due to its characteristics, this hybrid is a universal solution for farmers focused on mechanized harvesting and quality produce for fresh vegetable markets and processing.
