ARCHAR

French breeding for the professional market

The Arhar tomato from the Clause breeding house is the result of years of work by French geneticists aimed at creating a universal hybrid for intensive farming. Designed for large-scale agricultural enterprises, this model provides consistent results in professional red tomato production. It has firmly established itself in the mid-to-late ripening segment, offering a combination of high yield potential and adaptability to challenging cultivation environments.

Agronomic potential and resilience

A key feature of Arhar is its comprehensive genetic protection. In modern conditions, where field infection pressure is a critical factor, the manufacturer has prioritized the hybrid's natural "immunity." The plant successfully resists:

• Verticillium and Fusarium wilt;
• Tomato Mosaic Virus (ToMV);
• A range of typical viral diseases affecting open-field tomatoes.

This defensive profile helps reduce the need for excessive fungicide applications, significantly optimizing production costs.

Fruit characteristics and logistics

In terms of marketability, Arhar produces classic red fruits weighing 80–100 grams. The two-chamber structure of the fruit ensures excellent firmness, which is its primary advantage for shipping and long-distance logistics. Its cuboid or round shape allows for efficient mechanized harvesting and packing without compromising quality. With a yield potential of 160 to 190 tons per hectare, it is a reliable choice for retail or processing industries. The hybrid shows high flexibility in maturity (ranging from 90 to 130 days depending on the growing type), allowing agronomists to manage harvest schedules effectively.
