Tomato Manistella F1 — an early indeterminate hybrid developed by the Dutch company Hazera. This variety is characterized by strong growth, a robust root system, and a sturdy stem, ensuring resistance to stressful conditions and heat. The vegetative period is approximately 60-70 days from transplanting, allowing it to be grown in both spring and summer plantings, as well as for a second crop. The plant is well-adapted for cultivation in polyethylene and glass greenhouses, demonstrating stable fruiting even at high temperatures.
The fruits of tomato Manistella F1 have uniform shape and size, significantly simplifying harvest and reducing sorting costs. They are large, round, pink in color, weighing between 190 and 280 grams, dense, and resistant to cracking upon overripening. Thanks to excellent storability and transportability, tomatoes retain their market appearance and flavor qualities during long-term storage and transportation. These characteristics make this variety ideal for use in fresh markets, as well as for preparing fresh salads, juices, and sauces.
Manistella F1 exhibits high resistance to a range of diseases, including Verticillium wilt (Verticillium dahliae), Fusarium wilt (Fusarium oxysporum), Tomato mosaic virus (ToMV), Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV), Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV), Cladosporium leaf spot (Cladosporium fulvum), and the nematode Meloidogyne javanica. These traits, combined with high yield, stress tolerance, and ease of cultivation, make tomato Manistella F1 an attractive choice for professional vegetable growers.
