Caracas F1

Maximizing Yields with Genetic Resilience

The Caracas F1 tomato, developed by the Dutch seed experts at Rijk Zwaan, is a high-performance choice for commercial growers seeking reliability in field conditions. As a determinate hybrid, it offers significant advantages in field management and structural stability, ensuring a concentrated harvest that fits perfectly into modern agricultural schedules.

Key Resistance for Stressful Conditions

For large-scale farming, disease pressure is the primary factor affecting profitability. Caracas F1 excels by providing robust genetic resistance against common agricultural threats:

• Tomato Mosaic Virus (ToMV);
• Verticillium Wilt;
• Fusarium Wilt.

This inherent protection helps growers maintain plant health throughout the season, significantly reducing the dependency on aggressive chemical crop protection programs.

Product Specifications and Market Value

With a maturity period of up to 90 days, this hybrid is well-suited for intensive production cycles. The fruits develop into a uniform, round or flat-round shape with a vibrant red color that appeals to consumers in both fresh markets and retail. The dry matter content (5.50–6.00%) contributes to excellent firmness, ensuring that the heavy, 200g+ fruits maintain their integrity during transportation.

Caracas F1 is designed for efficiency. Whether in open-field settings or under temporary film covers, this variety from Rijk Zwaan delivers a consistent, high-quality crop that meets the rigorous demands of professional agriculture, balancing high tonnage with excellent commercial presentation.
