ORPHEUS F1

Stable Yield Under Stress Conditions

For farmers focused on obtaining market-ready produce in a tight timeframe, the Orfey F1 tomato from Nasko is a proven tool. This determinate hybrid was engineered for open-field cultivation, specifically tailored to climatic conditions where the combination of early maturity and high pathogen resistance is the key to success.

Field Management and Protection

The primary advantage of Orfey F1 in the field is its built-in comprehensive protection. The hybrid exhibits high resistance to bacteriosis, significantly reducing the need for fungicide applications during peak humidity periods. Throughout the growing season, the plant effectively stands up to a range of dangerous diseases:

• Alternaria;
• Tomato Mosaic Virus;
• A wide spectrum of other viral infections.

These traits make the variety highly sought after by farms utilizing both intensive cultivation methods and more balanced approaches to crop protection.

Crop Density and Productivity

With an optimal planting density of 30,000 to 35,000 plants per hectare, Orfey F1 develops a compact bush that does not require complex trellising, which significantly simplifies maintenance and harvesting. With a maturation period of up to 90 days, it allows producers to reach the market among the first.

The fruits, weighing 100–150 grams, feature a classic flat-round shape and a rich red color. Thanks to excellent uniformity in size and weight, this tomato is well-suited for the fresh market and medium-distance transport. The dense fruit structure ensures the preservation of its commercial appearance, which is critical during mass harvesting.

Utilizing Orfey F1 is ideal for planning a conveyor-belt production cycle, where predictable yields and the mitigation of risks related to quality loss from common tomato diseases are essential.
