Tomato CADIS

Working with 'Kadis' Indeterminate Tomatoes

For professional greenhouse operations, predictability is the ultimate goal. The 'Kadis' hybrid by 'Yunik Seeds' is a workhorse for growers who prioritize consistent large-fruit production and marketability. As an indeterminate tomato, it requires disciplined pruning and trellising, but the return on investment is evident in the uniform, high-quality yields throughout the growing season.

Disease Resistance and Farm Efficiency

The primary advantage of 'Kadis' is its built-in defense system against common greenhouse pathogens. Its resistance to Verticillium, Fusarium, and Tobacco Mosaic Virus significantly reduces the need for frequent chemical sprays, lowering overall production costs. Crucially, its resistance to nematodes provides a major operational benefit, allowing for continuous cropping cycles without the intense burden of soil fumigation.

Growth Cycle and Fruit Performance

With a maturity period of 100–120 days, 'Kadis' fits well into standard medium-early schedules. The flat-round fruits consistently hit the 200g+ mark, which is the sweet spot for the fresh market. The 4–6 locule structure contributes to fruit firmness, ensuring that the tomatoes withstand harvesting and transport without losing their shape or aesthetic appeal. Their deep red color is highly attractive to consumers and stays consistent through the late harvest.

• Maintenance: Requires careful irrigation management to support large fruit weight and prevent cracking.
• Harvesting: Uniform ripening simplifies the picking process, reducing labor time during peak cycles.
• Market Value: Excellent shelf life and high density make it a top choice for commercial retailers.
