Chibley tomato: description of the hybrid variety, its cultivation with a photo

One of the most common hybrids of the first generation is the Chibli f1 tomato, which has gained great popularity in the cultivation of Russia, Moldova and Ukraine. The variety received such popularity for its excellent adaptation to different growing conditions, resistance to verticillium and gall nematode. In addition, he has good immunity to Fusarium and other diseases. In addition, those who planted this crop claim that the Chibli variety is stress-resistant, does not require much care and has high yields.

Variety history

For the first time, a hybrid tomato of the Chibli f1 variety was obtained by employees of the Swiss company Syngenta. Breeders improved the qualities of his parents so much that the new variety turned out to be quite unique. Due to the large number of positive qualities, the production technology of the Chibli F1 tomato was bought by seed companies in many countries. Therefore, on packages of vegetable seeds, you can find different manufacturers.

The variety came to Russia in 2003. Having passed all the test work and received positive feedback from vegetable growers, he was registered in the State Register. Since then, the Chibli tomato has been cultivated both in small household plots and on a large industrial scale.

Plant characteristics

Chibli tomato is a medium-early vegetable crop that can be grown both in open ground and in greenhouse conditions.

General characteristics of the variety:

Plant of determinate type, in which the height of the bush does not exceed 60 cm.
The bush is heavily leafy. The large, dark green leaves serve as a good protection for the fruit from sunburn.
The plant is compact, so it can be planted according to the pattern of 45-50 cm, with a planting density of 7 plants per 1 sq.m.
The first inflorescences begin to form above the 7th-8th leaf, with a frequency of 1-2 leaves.
On average fruit yield per 1 sq.m. is about 4.3 kg.
Assembly of mature tomatoes is recommended only by hand.
The harvesting period falls on July-August.

Also, the vegetable crop has a fairly well-developed root system, which favorably affects the yield.
