The new range of "Mediterranean pink" tomatoes was also presented. Feedback is good for their agronomic techniques as well as for their intense fruity flavour, which represents an good alternative to the green M-G grade segment. All the varieties presented are resistant to the TYLCV virus:
Rosambra F1: grade M. Green when not ripe, turning pinker as it ripens. Long shelf-life. Very tasty with good acidity/sugar balance. Transplants between August and April. Good adaptability to long cycles.
Rosantea F1: like the Rosambra variety in agronomic and flavour terms, suitable for spring and summer transplants. Good resistance to summer heat.
Rosaflora F1: Grade M tomatoes with a light pink colour and red flesh. Can be harvested in bunches thanks to the uniform fruit, long shelf-life. Transplants between March and Agust. Good adaptability to transplants with hot temperatures.
