Tomato MARTÉZ

Prioritizing Large Fruit Size and Reliability

The «Martez» tomato from Monsanto is a selection product tailored for professional vegetable growers who prioritize the balance between fruit weight and marketability. Developed under the Dutch breeding program of Monsanto Holland B. V., this hybrid has secured a strong position in the indeterminate tomato segment intended for greenhouse cultivation.

Agronomic Profile

The key feature of «Martez» lies in its ability to produce large, flat-round fruits weighing over 200 grams while maintaining excellent transportability. A maturation period of up to 90 days classifies it as a mid-early hybrid, allowing for efficient greenhouse crop rotation planning.

• Pathogen Resistance: Genetic protection includes resistance to fusarium wilt, verticillium wilt, tomato mosaic virus (ToMV), and cladosporiosis. This significantly reduces the need for intensive chemical interventions during early growth stages.
• Cultivation Technology: As an indeterminate plant, it requires consistent staking and pruning, typical of high-yielding greenhouse varieties. A robust root system ensures stable nutrient uptake for the fruits, even under heavy plant load.

In the market, this hybrid has established itself as a «workhorse» for growers supplying the fresh produce sector. Unlike many competitors, «Martez» does not lose its structural integrity while filling out large fruits, which minimizes spoilage rates during transit. Its consistent red color and classic tomato flavor make it a preferred choice for both end consumers and retail chains.
