Tomato Shivious

A Technological Choice for Early Production

Shivios F1 tomato from Enza Zaden breeders is the answer to the needs of professional greenhouses requiring a balance between ripening speed and fruit quality. Registered in 2025, this hybrid is focused on producing marketable yields in a short timeframe, which is critical for the early spring market.

Key Vegetative Features

The plant has an indeterminate growth habit with short internodes between the first four clusters. This allows for efficient use of greenhouse space and earlier harvesting on the lower tiers. The foliage is moderately developed, ensuring good airflow and reducing the risk of fungal diseases.

Fruit Characteristics

• Shape and Size: Medium-sized round fruits with a small core diameter.
• Appearance: Deep red color without "green shoulders" even before full maturity. The fruits are uniform, lacking ribbing, with small scars, giving them a premium market appearance.
• Structure: A two-chamber structure combined with medium pericarp thickness ensures excellent transportability.

Phytosanitary Protection

Shivios F1 demonstrates a high level of genetic resistance (HR), minimizing the need for fungicides. The hybrid is protected against Tomato Mosaic Virus (ToMV:0-2), Leaf Mold (Ff:A-E), Fusarium Wilt (Fol:0,1/For), and Verticillium Wilt (Va:0/Vd:0). Intermediate resistance (IR) to root-knot nematodes (Ma/Mi/Mj) makes it suitable for cultivation in greenhouses with historically problematic soil.
