Tomato HEINZ 1015 F1 is an early determinate hybrid that ripens in approximately 95-100 days from germination to harvest. The plant is characterized by its compactness and vigor, making it suitable for cultivation in open ground, as well as in containers or on garden plots. The hybrid is particularly well-adapted to southern regions due to its high resistance to heat and drought, ensuring a stable yield even under challenging climatic conditions.
The tomato fruits have a cube-shaped, round form, uniform, dense, and deep red color. The average fruit weight ranges from 80 to 100 grams, with a sweet taste and sugar content (Brix) of about 5.5-6%. The flesh is juicy and aromatic, making the tomatoes suitable for fresh consumption as well as for processing, canning, and juice production. The fruits are well-suited for long-distance transportation and long-term storage, both in the field and in storage facilities, thanks to the presence of the EFS (extended field storage) gene.
HEINZ 1015 F1 hybrid exhibits high resistance to a wide spectrum of diseases, including fusarium wilt, bacterial infection, nematodes, bacterial cancer, and verticillium wilt. This reduces the risk of crop losses and minimizes the need for intensive chemical protection. Additionally, the variety is suitable for mechanical harvesting, which increases harvesting efficiency and reduces labor costs.
