Description of the tomato variety Sadik f1, features of cultivation and yield
Tomato Sadik f1 appeared on the Russian market relatively recently, and its creation was the result of the work of Dutch breeders. The children's hybrid variety is included in the state register as a plant intended for planting in open ground or sheltered structures. The presence of a mark on the paper package with seeds "f1" indicates that it belongs to hybrid varieties.
Today, the variety is actively cultivated in Russia, Ukraine, Moldova, not only by farms, but also by individuals on personal plots. You can buy the variety in specialized stores or by ordering via the Internet.
The characteristics of the horticultural culture classify the variety as typical representatives of determinant species with a late maturity. The period before the first harvest is 65-70 days after planting the seedlings of the variety in the place of permanent cultivation.
The height of standard bushes on average reaches 60-70 cm. The leaves are large and have a dark green color. The inflorescence is an intermediate species; the stalk is characterized by the presence of a joint.
The advantage of the Sadik F1 variety is its resistance to a variety of tomato diseases, including verticillosis, fusarium wilt, and yellow curly virus.
What fruits does the plant produce?
The fruits have a rounded flat shape with a smooth surface. Some fruits may acquire slight ribbing at the stage of ripening. The skin is thin, does not differ in increased density and thickness, but allows vegetables to withstand external influences and keep their shape in difficult transportation conditions.

- unripe fruits are light green;
- at the time of ripening, the color changes to a rich red color, some vegetables are poured and acquire a dark cherry color;
- in one brush, 3-5 tomato pieces are formed on average;
- the average weight of one tomato varies from 150 to 170 grams.
With good care and timely feeding, it is possible to achieve tomato weight indicators from 200 to 250 grams. The yield of marketable fruits, subject to the rules of agricultural technology, is 8.5 kg from 1 m2... From one bush of a plant, the average yield is 4.5 kg.
Gardeners' reviews confirm the excellent taste of tomatoes. Due to their excellent taste, the fruits are used in salads and as an ingredient in the preparation of various dishes.
