Tomato Fortius is an early-maturing hybrid intended for cultivation in open ground. It is a determinate plant with good growth, showing resilience to soil types and positive response to fertilization. Moderate planting density is recommended to ensure optimal growth and fruiting. Fruits ripen 60-65 days after transplanting, have a round-cuboid shape, dense flesh, and firm skin, weighing approximately 60-70 grams. Their intense red color and high flavor quality make them popular both in fresh markets and for processing into juices, paste, and sauces.
The hybrid features high yield, early fruiting, and stable fruiting. Fruits have a wall thickness of about 3 mm, a two-chambered structure, and an average weight of about 23 grams, ensuring good transportability and long storage life. High leafiness and internode length promote efficient photosynthesis and plant development, positively affecting overall yield.
Moreover, Fortius exhibits resistance to several diseases, including fungal infections of solanaceous plants and certain strains of bacterial blight. This hybrid is well-suited for regions facing problems with bacterial wilting, fusarium, and nematodes, making it a reliable choice for farmers encountering these challenges. Its suitability for mechanical harvesting and adaptability to various growing conditions make Tomato Fortius versatile and profitable for commercial production.
