Tomato Dance

Siberian breeding with high viral immunity

The 'Tanets' (Dance) tomato is the result of extensive research conducted by the Siberian Institute of Plant Physiology and Biochemistry (SB RAS). Developed under the guidance of Alexander Viktorovich Rudikovskiy, this variety is a prime example of adaptive breeding, focusing on stable yields under challenging phytosanitary conditions.

Biological traits and disease resistance

The primary advantage of this variety is its high resistance to a complex of pathogens that often devastate crops in greenhouses and open fields. Genetic protection against Tobacco Mosaic Virus (TMV), Cladosporium, and other viral diseases makes 'Tanets' a reliable choice for commercial farms where crop safety is paramount. Furthermore, the variety demonstrates significant tolerance to late blight, which reduces the need for frequent chemical fungicide applications.

Crop profile

The variety features a mid-ripening cycle, typically maturing in 100–120 days. Round fruits come in two weight categories: miniature (20–40 grams) and medium-sized (80–100 grams). This versatility makes the variety suitable for both whole-fruit canning and the fresh produce market. A firm fruit structure ensures excellent transportability, distinguishing 'Tanets' from market alternatives with softer skins.

This seed material is designed for growers who prioritize predictable results and reduced input costs related to disease management.
