Tomato Suomi F1 is a medium-late determinate hybrid of the plum type, developed by specialists of Syngenta Seeds (Netherlands). The plant is characterized by compactness and a strong leaf canopy that effectively protects fruits from sunburn. The vegetative period is 75-80 days from transplanting seedlings. The hybrid easily adapts to various soil types and climatic conditions, is resistant to high temperatures, drought, and weather fluctuations, making it a reliable choice for open-field cultivation using traditional agronomy.
The fruits of tomato Suomi have a plum-shaped form, dark red color, and a weight of about 70-75 grams. They are distinguished by high uniformity, dense structure, and rich flavor due to good sugar-acid balance and high dry matter content (5.2-5.5%). The average fruit count per plant reaches 95-120, indicating high productivity of the hybrid. Due to the density and transportability of the fruits, tomatoes are suitable for fresh consumption, juice, paste, and whole-fruit canning.
Hybrid Suomi F1 has high resistance to several diseases, including fusarium and verticillium, as well as intermediate resistance to nematodes and bacterial spot. The plant is vigorous and robust, allowing for planting density of 27-30 thousand plants per hectare. Mechanical harvesting is possible, simplifying agronomic operations and increasing production efficiency.
