Tomato Santi Yellow F1 is an early-maturing cherry-type hybrid with bright yellow mini-cup-shaped fruits weighing 13 to 15 grams. The plant is strong, semi-open, with horizontally arranged leaves, promoting good air circulation and sunlight exposure. The leaves are doubly pinnate, green, and the inflorescences are simple, forming quickly, with the first inflorescence appearing above the 9th-10th leaf, followed by every 2-3 leaves, with up to 12-15 fruits per cluster. The fruits are very dense, do not crack, have a shiny surface, and maintain an attractive appearance until harvest.
This variety is characterized by high sugar content, confirmed by a Brix scale value above 8, as well as a significant level of carotene and lycopene, making the fruits not only delicious but also nutritious. The flavor of the tomatoes is distinctly tomato-like, which, combined with their vibrant yellow color, gives them exceptional appeal. The hybrid is suitable for cultivation under various conditions, including protected ground, thereby expanding its usability across different climatic zones.
Santi Yellow exhibits resistance to a range of diseases, including Tobacco Mosaic Virus (ToMV), Tomato Leaf Curl Virus (TYLCV), Fusarium Wilt (Fol), Tomato Leaf Mottle Virus (ToANV), and nematodes (Ma, Mi, Mj). The yield of this variety reaches 4.8 kg per square meter, making it profitable for commercial cultivation. Due to its characteristics and resistance, this tomato is suitable for both professional farmers and amateur gardeners.
