Tomato Wrestler

Focus on Large Fruits and Immune Resistance

The «Wrestler» tomato from Monsanto is a robust indeterminate hybrid, specifically engineered for growers who prioritize fruit weight and disease resistance. Unlike many large-fruited varieties that can be temperamental, this hybrid demonstrates consistent vigor in greenhouse conditions.

Key Advantages

• Size and Shape: Weighing over 200 grams, these fruits feature a classic flat-round shape, making them perfect for both the fresh produce market and processing. High marketable quality is maintained throughout the entire harvesting period.
• Protective Barrier: A standout feature of this hybrid is its high resistance to Cladosporium (leaf mold). For greenhouse farmers, this means significant savings on fungicides and reduced risk of crop loss due to fungal infections.
• Growth Dynamics: With a maturity window of 90–100 days, it allows for precise supply chain scheduling. The plant actively builds biomass, requiring a sturdy trellis system for support.

Who is this hybrid for?

«Wrestler» is an optimal choice for professional greenhouse operations aiming for high-yielding, premium-quality tomatoes with minimal phytosanitary challenges. While it is somewhat forgiving regarding minor agrotechnical oversights, strict adherence to watering and fertilization protocols will reward the grower with maximum productivity. A potential drawback is the labor-intensive requirement for pruning and training the plant into 1–2 stems, which must be managed during the vegetative stage.
