Tomato Ardiles is a high-yielding hybrid variety of indeterminate type, developed by ENZA ZADEN BEHEER B. V. The plant is strong, resilient, open-type with horizontal leaf arrangement and medium internode length. Bunches develop rapidly and evenly, ensuring simultaneous fruit ripening on the same cluster. This variety is ideal for cultivation in heated professional greenhouses and polytunnels, enabling consistent and high-quality yields.
The fruits of tomato Ardiles have a plum-like shape, weighing between 35 and 45 grams, with a deep red color and glossy surface. They feature a very firm structure, ensuring excellent shelf life and high transportability. The fruits remain firmly attached to the calyx, do not crack, and are resistant to blossom end rot, significantly enhancing their market appearance and quality. The flavor is pleasant with a mild sweet aroma, making the variety appealing to consumers.
The variety exhibits high resistance to several diseases, including Tobacco Mosaic Virus (ToMV), Fusarium Wilt (Fol), blossom end rot, and also high resistance to ToBRFV (HR). Additionally, it shows moderate resistance to nematodes and other pathogens. Thanks to these characteristics, Ardiles is an attractive choice for professional growers and gardeners aiming to achieve high-quality, consistent tomato yields with excellent market attributes.
