PETRA ROSSA

Tomato Pietra Rossa F1 — a medium-early determinate hybrid of French selection by the company Clause, intended for cultivation in open ground and under film covers. The plant is compact, medium-height, reaching 50–100 cm, does not require pinching or staking. The vegetative period is about 90–120 days, ensuring stable and prolonged fruiting from April until the end of autumn. Plants are resistant to major tomato diseases such as fusarium, verticillium, tomato mosaic virus, and bacterial spot, which contributes to high-quality yields even under adverse climatic conditions. The fruits of tomato Pietra Rossa have a characteristic plum shape and deep red color without green spots at the stem attachment. The average weight of one fruit is 70–80 grams; they are dense, with thick walls and bright red flesh. High dry matter content (5.5–6.0%) and dense structure make these tomatoes ideal for both fresh consumption and industrial processing — production of tomato paste, juices, ketchup, and sauces. Fruits ripen simultaneously and detach easily from the cluster, allowing for both manual and mechanical harvesting. A distinctive feature of the hybrid is its high transportability and ability to retain market and flavor qualities during long-term storage and transportation over long distances. Plants maintain green color and health until the end of the vegetative period, and abundant leaf drop protects fruits from sunburn and promotes their quality development. For successful cultivation, it is recommended to sow seeds 45–55 days before transplanting into the ground, place them on sunny, well-drained areas with fertile soil, provide regular moderate watering and balanced fertilization. Tomato Pietra Rossa F1 is a universal and reliable choice for farmers and agribusinesses focused on producing high-quality tomato products.
