Farao F1

Genetic Potential and Yield

Farao F1 is a benchmark Crimson Sweet type hybrid demonstrating high stability in intensive farming systems. The key feature of this Syngenta hybrid is the balance between vigorous early growth and robust pathogen resistance. A 80–90 day maturation cycle allows for planned harvest scheduling, minimizing market risks.

Phytosanitary Protection

Breeders have prioritized resistance to critical soil-borne and foliar infections. The genetic resilience of Farao F1 to Fusarium wilt (Fusarium oxysporum) and anthracnose (Colletotrichum lagenarium) is essential for commercial production. This reduces dependence on frequent fungicide applications and prevents yield loss due to vascular system compromise.

Morphology and Marketability

The hybrid develops a powerful root system capable of supporting large fruits weighing between 10 and 15 kg, even under drought-stress conditions. The cylindrical fruit shape facilitates efficient logistics, while the dense, deep red flesh ensures excellent transportability over long distances without structural breakdown.
