CZARINA

Prioritizing Commercial Grade and Fruit Size

The "Tsaritsa" tomato from the Sedek brand is designed for professional vegetable producers focusing on large-fruited, high-quality salad crops. As an indeterminate plant, it requires a trellis system, making it an excellent choice for greenhouse production or intensive open-field farming with precise support structures. The primary agronomic objective with this variety is managing cluster development to ensure fruit weight consistently exceeds 200 grams.

Agronomic Management

With a maturity cycle of 120-130 days, "Tsaritsa" is classified as a mid-late variety. This requires strategic planning of the seedling phase to ensure the plant has a robust root system before transplanting. Given its production capacity of up to 100-130 tons per hectare, the variety demands rigorous nutritional management, particularly during the fruit-filling stage to support the high yield.

• Handling Market Standards: The flat-round shape requires careful handling during harvest and logistics to maintain quality for retail supply chains.
• Nutritional Strategy: To achieve the full potential of large fruits (>200g), consistent potassium supply is essential throughout the fruiting phase.
• Canopy Management: The indeterminate growth habit dictates the need for training to 1-2 stems to optimize airflow and fruit uniformity across the entire plant.

Developed by selectors S.V. Dubinin, I.N. Dubinina, and A.N. Lukyanenko, this variety is highly valued in markets where pink-fleshed tomatoes are preferred for their superior flavor and appearance. The consistency offered by "Tsaritsa" allows farm managers to schedule harvests effectively and maintain stable supply volumes throughout the production season.
