Tomato VASYA-VASILEK

Technical Specifications and Agronomic Profile

The 'Vasya-Vasilek' tomato is a determinate variety developed by breeders Vladimir Dederko and Olga Postnikova. The plant's architecture is optimized for open field cultivation, with a vegetative cycle spanning 120–130 days. This duration requires precise scheduling of nutrient input, particularly during the fruit-setting stage, to achieve the target weight of 150–200 grams per fruit.

Product Performance Metrics

• Fruit Shape: Oblate (flat-round), providing structural integrity and uniformity for logistics.
• Mass: 150–200g, fitting perfectly into commercial grading requirements.
• Pigmentation: Deep red color, indicating high lycopene content.

The determinate growth habit significantly reduces labor costs associated with pruning and vertical support. From an agronomic standpoint, this variety excels in medium-climate conditions where soil temperature stability is key to meeting the 120-day maturation window. The fruit anatomy—specifically the skin density—offers excellent protection against mechanical damage during transport, making it a reliable choice for commercial supply chains looking for consistent quality.
