Delfo

Stability and Quality: Delfo Tomato by Nunhems

In the segment of determinate tomatoes for industrial processing, the Delfo variety from the Dutch company Nunhems has established itself as a reliable 'workhorse'. Designed for those who prioritize predictable field results, this hybrid has proven its worth both in large-scale agricultural enterprises and on farms focused on mechanized harvesting.

Agronomic Profile and Resistance

The core value of Delfo lies in its ability to withstand a wide spectrum of threats typical for open-field tomatoes. Genetic resistance to Fusarium, Verticillium wilt, and nematodes allows for a significant reduction in pesticide use, which is critical when cultivating high-quality raw materials. The blocky fruit shape and consistent weight (60–80 grams) make this hybrid ideal for whole-fruit canning and tomato paste production.

• Plant Type: Determinate, ensuring uniform crop ripening.
• Ripening Period: Mid-early (90–100 days).
• Transportability: The fruits have a dense skin that withstands long-distance shipping perfectly without losing their commercial appearance.

Why Professionals Choose It

The reputation of the Nunhems brand in vegetable breeding is built on rigorous selection standards. Delfo is no exception: it is a balanced hybrid that forgives minor technological errors, yet with proper care, it reveals its full potential of 100+ tons per hectare. Its lack of tendency to crack and high resistance to various spots (brown, Mycosphaerella, and bacterial) make it a predictable choice for agronomists working in challenging climatic zones.
