Tomato Kero

Tomato Kero F1 is a high-yielding, mid-ripening determinate hybrid developed by the Italian breeding company Esasem. The plant is bushy, compact, with a strong stem and well-developed root system, ensuring its resilience and good growth. Kero F1 is suitable for cultivation both in open ground and under temporary covers during the main and late-season periods. The vegetation period ranges from 85 to 115 days, allowing the hybrid to be used in various climatic conditions and seasons.

The fruits of tomato Kero F1 have a bright red color and a plum-like shape without a green spot at the stem attachment. The average fruit weight varies from 110 to 130 grams. The flesh is juicy, meaty, and free of veins, with a pleasant aroma and excellent taste qualities. The thick, dense walls of the fruits ensure high transportability and resistance to cracking, making the tomatoes versatile for use both fresh and for processing into juices or whole-fruit preserves.

The hybrid exhibits high resistance to major tomato diseases, including Fusarium wilt (Vd), Verticillium wilt (Va), foliar diseases (Fol 1,2), and intermediate resistance to Cladosporium (Pst). When using drip irrigation, yield significantly increases, reaching up to 100 tons per hectare, as confirmed by positive feedback from professional farmers. Due to its characteristics and adaptability, tomato Kero F1 is an excellent choice for commercial cultivation and home gardening.
