MANAROLA

French breeding for professionals: Manarola F1

The Manarola tomato from the HM.CLAUSE breeding house is a response to a market demanding large fruit size and stability in a changing climate. Registered in Ukraine in 2026, this hybrid demonstrates high adaptability to field conditions, making it a strategic choice for fresh-market growers.

Field performance and stress tolerance

Manarola is an indeterminate hybrid that thrives under intensive cultivation. With moderate anthocyanin coloration of the stem and balanced internode development, the plant forms a vigorous yet manageable habit. A key feature is the semi-drooping leaf position, which ensures optimal bush ventilation, reducing the risk of fungal diseases during periods of high humidity.

Under extreme temperature conditions, the hybrid shows impressive heat tolerance. The absence of a "green shoulder" before ripening indicates genetic stability and resistance to fruit overheating, which is critical for preventing sunscald. The plant possesses a well-developed root system, allowing it to efficiently utilize moisture even during short dry spells.

Fruit characteristics

Manarola produces large, flattened fruits with distinct multi-chambering (4–6 chambers). The medium thickness of the pericarp ensures good transportability, which is rare for tomatoes of this size. The fruits feature a small stem scar and a neat shape, minimizing losses during sorting and packaging.
