Tomato ASTERIUS

Tomato Asterius is a new hybrid of pink indeterminate tomato, characterized by high yield and early ripening. The plant has an open structure with short internodes, ensuring good air circulation and light access to all parts of the bush. Thanks to these features, as well as even development of clusters throughout the entire vegetation period, the hybrid demonstrates stable and abundant fruiting. Asterius plants are suitable for cultivation both in open ground and in plastic greenhouses, making this variety versatile and convenient for various growing conditions.

The fruits of tomato Asterius have a round shape without ribs, large and uniform, with a rich pink color. The average weight of each tomato is 220-250 grams. Upon pollination, the fruits easily form a characteristic 'nose,' giving them an attractive commercial appearance. Moreover, the tomatoes are resistant to cracking even at high temperatures, significantly facilitating their transportation and storage. The flavor qualities of the fruits are highly appreciated, making this variety popular both for fresh consumption and for various culinary purposes.

Hybrid Asterius possesses high resistance to several diseases, including tobacco mosaic virus (ToMV), Fusarium wilt (Ff), Verticillium wilt (Va, Vd), and Fusarium root rot (Fol). It also exhibits moderate resistance to tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV), tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV), and nematodes. These characteristics make this variety a reliable choice for cultivation under various climatic conditions, reducing the risk of crop losses and ensuring consistent fruit quality.
