Tomato Ermak is a determinate variety with compact plants reaching 35 to 55 cm in height, characterized by moderate leafiness and medium-sized green leaves with a potato-like structure. The plants have a medium-branched type and resistance to several diseases, including phytophthora, septoria, and gall nematodes, ensuring reliable cultivation under various conditions.
The fruits of tomato Ermak have an oval-round shape with a smooth but sufficiently dense orange-red skin. The weight of one fruit varies from 50 to 75 grams. Tomatoes are distinguished by good taste qualities and high firmness, allowing them to withstand long-distance transportation and storage under cool conditions for up to 35-40 days. Due to these properties, the variety is in demand for whole-fruit canning and commercial cultivation.
The ripening period of tomato Ermak is late — fruits fully ripen 85-123 days after emergence, depending on growing conditions. The yield of the variety ranges from 4.6 to 7.4 kg per square meter. The variety was developed by Soviet breeders and is recommended for cultivation on open ground, including in the Northern Caucasus, confirming its adaptability to various climatic conditions.
