The Icaria tomato is a strong, vegetative-type plant with high generative capacity. The fruits have a mini-plum shape, are characterized by a deep red color with a glossy sheen, and weigh between 12 to 15 grams. They are very dense and free of cracks, ensuring a storage life of more than 14 days. Sugar content (Brix) exceeds 8.5, which gives the fruits an excellent flavor and high quality.
This hybrid is distinguished by its adaptability and tolerance to growing conditions, making it suitable for various technologies, including cluster and single fruit harvesting. Icaria is suitable for cultivation in heated professional greenhouses and in light culture, which allows for extending the product turnover. High resistance to ToBRFV virus (HR) and significant resistance to other diseases such as ToMV, ToANV, Fol, TYLCV, and fungal diseases ensure a stable yield and reduce the risk of losses.
Thus, the Icaria tomato combines an attractive appearance, excellent taste, and high resistance to major viral and fungal diseases. These qualities make it an optimal choice for professional cultivation in protected ground, ensuring consistent quality and prolonged fruit storage.
