Tomato TORINO F1

Stability and health: why Torino F1 is a top choice

Czech breeding by Semo is synonymous with a pragmatic approach, and 'Torino F1' is a prime example of this philosophy. This indeterminate hybrid is designed for growers who prefer to avoid the risks associated with unpredictable plant diseases. In greenhouse environments, where pathogens can accumulate rapidly, the genetic resistance of Torino F1 to a complex of diseases — including Fusarium (races 0, 1), Verticillium wilt, and Tobacco Mosaic Virus — is its most compelling feature.

Agronomic potential and technical specifications

Torino F1 is a classic 'cluster' tomato, focused on uniformity and marketable quality. Key parameters include:

• Maturity: 90–100 days from transplanting.
• Fruit: round shape, weighing 80–100 grams, with a vibrant red color.
• Resilience: high resistance to Fusarium wilt, Verticillium, and Cladosporium.

Its indeterminate growth habit allows for efficient vertical space management in greenhouses, typically trained to one or two stems. With a fruit weight of 80–100 grams, this tomato is perfect for both whole-fruit canning and retail packing. The fruits are firm, hold their shape well during transport, and offer an attractive presentation for the marketplace.

Who is this hybrid for?

Torino F1 excels in professional greenhouse operations where predictable results are paramount. Unlike larger 'slicing' tomatoes that are prone to cracking, this hybrid offers excellent fruit density. The only trade-off is the need for strict pruning management due to its vigorous growth. It is an optimal choice for farmers who prioritize stable yields of standardized-size tomatoes throughout the growing season.
