Manusa

Manusa F1 tomato — an early indeterminate hybrid developed by the Dutch seed company Rijk Zwaan. This variety is primarily intended for cultivation in film and polycarbonate greenhouses, where it demonstrates high yield and resistance, while performing poorly and yielding low results in glass greenhouses. The maturation period is approximately 110-115 days from sowing, allowing harvest in the first and second crop rotations. The plant forms a tall, vigorous bush up to 2-2.5 meters high, with a well-developed root system, strong stem, dense foliage, and short internodes, which contribute to good growth and fruiting.

The fruits of tomato Manusa F1 have a round-oval shape, weighing 200-250 grams, with thin skin and a pleasant pink hue. They are uniform in shape and weight, ripen uniformly, and possess juicy, meaty flesh with a rich flavor and aroma. Due to these qualities, the tomatoes are ideal for fresh consumption, salad preparation, sauces, vitamin juices, and various summer dishes. The hybrid is characterized by high transportability and storability, as well as resistance to fruit cracking.

Manusa F1 exhibits high resistance to major tomato diseases, such as verticillium and fusarium wilt, tobacco mosaic virus, as well as moderate resistance to tomato bronze virus. These properties, along with good stress tolerance and the ability to maintain a prolonged harvest on the plant, make this hybrid a profitable choice for commercial cultivation in protected ground.
