TREDICY

Genetic Potential and Agronomics of 'Tredici'

The determinate tomato 'Tredici' by Syngenta is a balanced solution for producers focused on industrial processing and long-term distribution. The key feature of this hybrid lies in its ability to maintain high commodity quality during mechanized harvesting and long-distance transport. A stable fruit weight of 80-100 grams makes it an industry standard for whole-peeled canning, where raw material uniformity is a critical cost-efficiency factor.

Biological Protection and Reliability

Genetic resistance is the foundation that minimizes chemical load in the field. 'Tredici' incorporates selective protection against the most aggressive vegetable pathogens:

• Tobacco Mosaic Virus (TMV): Prevents the loss of photosynthetic leaf area.
• Verticillium Wilt (Va, Vd): Ensures the integrity of the plant's vascular system during peak temperature stress.
• Fusarium Wilt (Fol:1,2): Blocks fungal infection entry through the root system, even in high soil moisture conditions.

These parameters, combined with a 90-100 day maturity cycle, create a predictable production schedule, allowing growers to precisely plan harvest and supply windows.

Fruit Technological Profile

The plum shape of the fruit is not just for aesthetics; it provides structural integrity. The firm skin and dense flesh minimize the risk of cracking during moisture fluctuations. During long-distance transport, 'Tredici' shows excellent shelf-life, which is crucial for wholesale markets and processing plants, where product damage during logistics must be kept to an absolute minimum.
