The first seedless tomato variety was introduced in the Rijk Zwaan lineup. This variety has proven to be a good culture that is easy to work with.

This year, the new Santiana variety is undergoing extensive testing in various places in the Netherlands and North America, including under artificial lighting.

The results are still very promising, according to Raik Zwaan. Based on the data obtained, Santiana RZ gives a greater fruit weight than the reference TOV large tomato variety.

It also shows good results in terms of shelf life, and beautiful red tomatoes with excellent green leaves visually attract the attention of buyers.

Here's how the grower talks about the variety: “This is a generative, open fruit with horizontal leaves. The variety has evenly distributed fruits.

The plant has sufficient strength and productivity for flowering so that it can be pruned to six fruits during some parts of the season.

Santiana also responds well to increased light levels while some species suffer from this. More sunshine actually makes Santiana stronger. ”
