Tomato Almaz

Working with the "Almaz" tomato

When working with a determinate tomato hybrid from Monsanto, you immediately notice the breeding consistency. "Almaz" is a workhorse for those who want to avoid the risks of crop failure. With standard agrotechnology, the bush does not overgrow and maintains a compact shape, which is crucial for high-density planting or field cultivation without the need for complex trellising systems.

Disease resistance and protection

In high humidity, many varieties suffer from gray mold, but this hybrid handles it well. The genetic resistance to rot is effective: with proper aeration or minimal fungicide application, the percentage of damaged fruit is negligible. This saves both money on chemicals and labor during the peak of the season.

Yield and market quality

• A maturity period of up to 90 days allows for precise planning of harvest and market entry.
• Fruit weighing 100-150 grams is the industry standard, fitting perfectly into crates without bruising during transport.
• The deep red color and firm skin ensure excellent shelf life.

Managing a plot with Almaz does not require specialized skills. The plant is responsive to standard fertilization, and its powerful root system helps it cope with inconsistent irrigation. The fruit matures evenly, simplifying the harvest—you won't need to visit the field repeatedly to pick individual tomatoes. If you are looking for a reliable result for commercial production, this variety from Dutch-based Monsanto breeding will exceed your expectations.
