MILLANDRO

Operational insights on the Millandro tomato hybrid

When working with professional greenhouse crops from Enza Limited, reliability is the primary metric. The Millandro hybrid, being an indeterminate type, requires precise pruning and trellising, yet the yield potential of 70–100 tons per hectare makes it a top performer in the segment. The plant shows balanced vigor, making canopy management straightforward throughout the season.

Disease resistance and harvest quality

In a controlled environment, disease pressure is the main risk factor. Millandro excels here due to its strong genetic resistance to Tomato Mosaic Virus and Bacterial Spot. We have observed minimal impact from early blight (Alternaria) and brown leaf spot, which helps in optimizing our integrated pest management strategy and reducing chemical inputs.

• Maturity cycle: 120–130 days, providing a predictable schedule for harvesting operations.
• Fruit quality: Uniform flat-round shape and deep red color, with an average weight of 100–150 grams, fitting the high-demand retail segment perfectly.
• Logistics: The fruit's firmness allows for efficient transport and handling, ensuring minimal losses when delivering to distant markets.

With a dry matter content of 5.00–5.50%, the flavor profile is consistent and appealing to consumers. Choosing high-quality seeds from Enza Zaden Beheer B.V provides the operational predictability necessary for a successful and profitable harvest.
