Tomato KIMI (KS 898, Kami) F1 is a mid-early determinate hybrid developed by Kitano Seeds. This variety is intended for cultivation in open ground and under plastic coverings, characterized by high stress resistance and low maintenance requirements. The vegetative period ranges from 97 to 105 days after planting, allowing for an early harvest. The plant is strong and compact, with a well-developed root system and abundant foliage, which effectively protects the fruits from sunburn, ensuring their preservation and quality.
The fruits of tomato KIMI are large, round-oval, with intense red color and an average weight of 180-200 grams. They are dense, meaty, without green spot at the calyx and internal white core, enhancing their appearance and taste. The fruits exhibit high marketability, resistance to cracking, and excellent transportability, making them popular for fresh market sales and culinary use, especially for preparing fresh salads.
Hybrid KIMI is resistant to major tomato diseases such as fusarium and verticillium wilt, as well as tomato yellow mosaic virus. It tolerates adverse conditions, including excessive moisture and drought, making it a promising novelty in the segment of mid-season ground tomatoes. Due to uniform and synchronized fruit ripening, as well as high yield, this variety is an excellent choice for both commercial and home cultivation.
