Tomato Santiana F1 is an early, high-yielding, determinate hybrid, suitable for extended cultivation, including greenhouse and open field. The plant is indeterminate, strong, and open, facilitating care and harvesting. The vegetation period is about 85-90 days, enabling early harvest. Leaves are medium-length and green, inflorescences are simple, and the peduncle is equipped with a joint, facilitating fruit picking.
Tomato Santiana fruits are flat-round with slight ribbing, deep red when ripe. The average fruit weight is 160-180 grams, allowing for both individual and cluster harvesting (5 fruits per cluster). The fruits have medium density, making them suitable for salad use. It is recommended to limit clusters to 5 fruits for optimal yield and quality.
The hybrid exhibits high resistance to several diseases, including Verticillium wilt, tomato mosaic virus, Cladosporiosis, tomato bronze virus, Fusarium race 0.1, leaf mold, and nematodes. Resistance is confirmed against multiple pathogen races, ensuring stable yields and reducing the need for intensive chemical protection. The hybrid is produced by Rijk Zwaan from the Netherlands, guaranteeing high seed quality and compliance with modern agronomic requirements.
