Tomato Foster is an early-maturing, bush-determinate hybrid intended for cultivation in open ground. The plant reaches a height of about 56 cm and forms 12-15 flower clusters, each capable of bearing 3 to 8 fruits. The fruits have a round-cuboid shape, dense flesh, and firm skin, weighing approximately 60-70 grams. Immature fruits are green, turning to a vibrant red upon ripening. The tomato is characterized by high yield potential, reaching 827 c/ha, and resistance to fungal diseases of solanaceous crops, ensuring reliable cultivation and fruit quality.
Foster exhibits good transportability and long storage life, making it popular for both fresh market sales and processing into juices, paste, and sauces. The plant is adaptable to various soil types but responds positively to fertilization. Moderate planting density is recommended — around 25-30 thousand plants per hectare — to promote optimal growth and fruiting. The fruit ripening period is 60-65 days after transplanting.
This tomato hybrid is distinguished by high marketability and attractive fruit appearance, making it popular among producers and consumers. Due to its characteristics, Foster is suitable for mechanized harvesting and can be successfully grown under various climatic conditions. Its flavor profile and nutritional value allow its use both fresh and for various processing applications.
