Tomato INDRA

Stable yields without extra hassle

For those involved in greenhouse tomato production, crop protection is often the biggest headache. The 'Indra' variety from Novosibirsk State Agrarian University (NSAU) is a rare example of how plant breeding can genuinely simplify an agronomist's work. The core strength of this variety is its genetic resilience. While neighboring plants might struggle with Fusarium or Verticillium wilt, 'Indra' keeps forming fruit, saving your budget on fungicides.

Agronomic features and specs

• Plant Type: Indeterminate. Requires regular staking and pruning, but responds exceptionally well to intensive cultivation methods.
• Maturity: An early variety, reaching technical maturity within 90 days of germination.
• Fruit: Round, weighing between 100 and 150 grams. Their deep brown color provides a distinct market appeal, often commanding a premium price compared to standard red varieties.
• Logistics: The firm skin ensures excellent transportability, meaning the fruit won't deform or crack during handling and distribution.

Working with this variety is straightforward. Due to its strong resistance to root-knot nematodes and a wide spectrum of viral diseases, including Tobacco Mosaic Virus, plant loss per hectare is kept to a minimum. This ensures predictable results: you know exactly what to expect from your crop. With proper management, 'Indra' offers high commercial returns, and the exotic brown hue makes it a standout product at any point of sale.
