Faraon

Tomato Pharaoh — a medium-early indeterminate hybrid, reaching a height of about 2 meters. This variety is characterized by high yield and is suitable for cultivation in both plastic greenhouses and open ground. Plants are trained as single stems with mandatory removal of suckers and lower leaves, as well as pinching the growth point at the end of the vegetative period. The first flower cluster forms above the 10th-12th leaf, subsequent clusters form every three leaves. For successful cultivation, seedlings should be sown in late February — early March, followed by transplanting and supplemental lighting, and planting in greenhouses is carried out when plants are 50-55 days old with mandatory staking.

Tomato Pharaoh fruits have a round-oval shape, smooth surface, and bright red color. Fruit mass varies from 140 to 200 grams, depending on growing conditions. They are distinguished by dense flesh and tough skin, making them ideal for fresh consumption, processing, and whole-fruit canning. Due to their high density, the fruits are resistant to cracking and can maintain their market quality under non-controlled storage conditions for up to one month.

The hybrid exhibits resistance to a range of diseases, including tobacco mosaic virus, cladosporiosis, fusarium, gall nematodes, and phytophthora. It easily tolerates temperature fluctuations and adverse conditions, ensuring a stable yield. Yield per plant reaches 6–6.5 kg under a planting scheme of 40x60 cm and proper care, including watering, fertilization, and suckering.
