Salvatore, son of Roberto, added that, "in the last few years, we have witnessed the standardisation of the supply of cherry tomatoes, with a proportional reduction in prices. Many tried to counter it by increasing their production and programming longer cycles, but not always did they manage to obtain high-quality produce. We have decided to follow a different path, one based on quality."
"Things are looking good so far. The 112SA888 F1 variety responded well both in terms of production and quality. The plant developed regularly despite the weather."
"With out a new cherry tomato variety, we are trying to bring the flavour back to a product that started as a speciality from our territory. We are happy that there are still producers, such as the Barbarossa family, for whom varietal research is a tool," adds Dr. Castagnoli, geneticist for SAIS Sementi.
The 112SA888 F1 variety is vigorous and productive with a regular development. Bunches are elegant with a robust dark green rachis. Fruits are round with a deep red colour and star-shaped sepals. Excellent flavour, Brix level of approx. 8-9° and long shelf-life (HR:ToMV/Ff:1-5/Fol:0,1 IR:TYLCV/Ma/Mi/Mj).
