Pitenza F1

Reliability in every bush: Why choose Pitenza F1

For a farmer working with tomatoes, the main indicator is result predictability. The indeterminate hybrid Pitenza F1 from Dutch breeders Enza Limited is a real 'workhorse' that provides a stable harvest within 100-120 days. Like any tall variety, it requires pruning and trellising, but in return, it demonstrates impressive immunity, significantly reducing the budget spent on fungicides.

No more losses from diseases

The biggest headache for any agronomist is viruses and fungi. Pitenza F1 addresses this issue comprehensively. The hybrid possesses remarkable resistance to a wide range of threats:

• Full shield against Verticillium and Fusarium wilt.
• Immunity against Tomato Mosaic Virus and other plant viruses.
• Resistance to Cladosporium leaf mold, which is crucial for greenhouses with high humidity.

These aren't just catalog numbers — they represent a real opportunity to reduce pesticide applications, which directly impacts the production cost.

Market appeal and logistics

The flat-round shape and classic red color make this hybrid easily recognizable on the shelf. The 100-150 gram fruit weight is the industry standard for retail and supermarkets. But the most valuable asset for us, as producers, is the excellent transportability. The tomatoes do not get bruised or deformed during shipping, and the shelf life of 10-20 days allows us to deliver the produce to the end consumer without rushing, avoiding losses due to spoilage.

Pitenza F1 is a balanced solution for those seeking a perfect mix of high yield and robust plant health. Minimal risks, predictable harvesting, and excellent fruit presentation.
