SUPER SET F1

Reliable harvest in challenging conditions: why choose SUPER SET F1

For farmers operating in regions with high disease pressure, the SUPER SET F1 tomato from Japanese breeder Sakata has become a synonym for reliability. This determinate hybrid was engineered for industrial cultivation, where the cost of errors in viral disease management is simply too high.

Agrotechnical features and application

With a maturity period of 120-130 days, this tomato falls into the mid-late group. This developmental dynamic allows for the formation of a robust plant with dense foliage that protects the fruit from sunburn—a critical factor for open-field cultivation.

• Disease resistance: Genetic resistance to Verticillium wilt, Fusarium wilt, and Tobacco mosaic virus eliminates unnecessary expenditure on fungicide treatments. Resistance to Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV) is particularly vital, as it is a common cause of crop failure in southern latitudes.
• Planting parameters: The recommended density is 15,000–20,000 plants per hectare. This provides optimal airflow between rows and ensures convenience for mechanized maintenance and harvesting.
• Market qualities: Round fruits weighing 150–200 grams boast excellent uniformity, simplifying logistics and sorting. The deep red color makes them highly desirable for the fresh market.

Choosing SUPER SET F1 is a strategy for risk mitigation. The hybrid demonstrates high adaptability to environmental stressors, maintaining productivity in conditions where other varieties may suffer from leaf curling or viral infections.
