Tomato REDITY

Cultivation and Potential of Rediti F1

Rediti F1 is a professional indeterminate tomato hybrid from Bayer Holland B.V., characterized by balanced growth and high technological efficiency. Registered in Ukraine in 2026, this hybrid is specifically adapted for greenhouse production, offering growers a reliable and manageable crop.

Plant Architecture and Maintenance

The plant exhibits moderate anthocyanin coloration on the stem and horizontal leaf positioning, which simplifies canopy management. As an indeterminate variety, it requires systematic trellising and pruning to a single stem. The average internode length between the 1st and 4th clusters allows for efficient labor management and balanced fruit load distribution.

Growing Guidelines

• Sowing and Transplanting: Sowing dates depend on the greenhouse type. Transplanting should occur when seedlings are 45–55 days old and soil temperatures have reached at least 15°C.
• Planting Density: The recommended density is 2.5–3 plants per square meter. The horizontal leaf orientation ensures optimal light penetration, making it crucial to avoid overcrowding.
• Irrigation and Nutrition: Rediti F1 is sensitive to moisture fluctuations. Drip irrigation is highly recommended to maintain soil moisture at 70–80% of field capacity. During the fruiting phase, potassium-rich fertilization is essential to support the development of high-quality, 3-4 chambered fruits.
• Fruit Characteristics: The fruits are round with a flattened blossom end and a small peduncle scar, which enhances resistance to mechanical damage during harvest. The medium-thick pericarp ensures excellent shelf life and transportability.

The absence of flower fasciation in the first cluster simplifies the production of uniform, high-quality yields with minimal culling rates.
