Scatolone tomato is a processing variety with large, squared-off fruit, developed for canning thanks to its high flesh yield.
It belongs to the species Solanum lycopersicum, family Solanaceae. A semi-determinate, compact plant, also suited to large-scale mechanical harvesting.
Sow in a heated seedbed between February and March; transplant into the field from April-May, in regular rows for industrial processing.
Intensive cultivation with targeted fertilising and drip irrigation, typical of the industrial tomato sauce supply chain.
The squared, compact fruit can exceed 150-200 g, with uniform ripening suited to single-pass harvesting.
This selection shows good tolerance to the main disorders, valued in industrial operations for its production uniformity.
Ideal for processing into passata and concentrate, thanks to its high flesh yield and low water content.
Rich in lycopene, particularly concentrated due to its high soluble solids yield, with notable antioxidant properties.
