Tomato MARY

Technical profile of the determinate hybrid "Mary"

Developed by the VNIIISSOK, the "Mary" tomato is engineered for consistent yields in both open fields and greenhouse conditions. It is a determinate cultivar, meaning its growth is genetically limited. For growers, this translates to reduced labor costs associated with trellising and foliage management, as the plant naturally terminates growth after producing a set number of trusses.

Biometrics and Productivity

• Vegetation Period: 90–100 days from seedling emergence to harvest, classifying it as an early-maturing variety.
• Fruit Specs: The plum shape ensures high flesh density. A fruit weight of 80–100 grams is the industry standard for whole-fruit canning and high-end fresh market sales.
• Visual Profile: The vibrant yellow color is driven by high carotenoid levels, offering excellent market shelf appeal.
• Yield Potential: Under optimal agricultural practices, the yield can reach 70–100 tonnes per hectare.

The primary technical advantage of this cultivar is its efficiency: early maturity coupled with a high concentration of fruit set. Its compact plant architecture allows for higher planting densities, effectively increasing the output per hectare. For commercial operations, "Mary" represents a reliable technical solution featuring excellent fruit uniformity and resistance to cracking, which is critical for long-distance transport.
