ALTUS

Reliable Yield in Challenging Environments

When operating with the 'Altius' tomato from Ooo `Grinomika`, it becomes clear that this breeding is aimed at risk mitigation. As an agronomist working in fluctuating moisture conditions, I particularly value its resistance to gray mold and late blight. During seasons when neighboring fields lose up to 30% of their harvest due to high disease pressure, this hybrid holds its ground, requiring only minimal preventive measures.

Agronomy and Performance

The maturation period of up to 90 days allows for efficient production scheduling. The hybrid responds exceptionally well to intensive nutrient management. With proper spacing and feeding, we consistently achieve yields of 70–100 tons per hectare. For a small-fruited tomato variety, these figures ensure a clear and profitable economic outcome.

• Fruit characteristics: A weight of up to 20 grams is ideal for cocktail tomatoes, ensuring high commercial value.
• Shape and Appearance: The cuboid shape and vibrant yellow color make it stand out on the market, attracting customers with its unique aesthetic.
• Technology: The fruits are firm and resistant to cracking, which is critical for successful harvesting and transport.

The originator, Greenomica, has created a product that forgives minor management errors. This is not a finicky greenhouse crop, but a sturdy and responsive material that behaves predictably in the field. Working with seeds from Ooo `Grinomika`, I am confident in the germination energy and uniformity of the crop, which is the foundation of any large-scale production.
