Hermes

Consistent Performance from Vilmorin-Mikado

French breeding from Vilmorin-Mikado has long been synonymous with reliability for professional vegetable growers. The indeterminate tomato variety 'Hermes' is a choice for those who prioritize predictable results in intensive farming conditions. A maturity cycle of up to 90 days allows producers to build a precise harvest schedule, which is essential for the fresh produce market.

Agronomic Advantages

The key feature of this hybrid is its robust immune system. In protected cultivation, pathogen control consumes a significant portion of the budget. 'Hermes' mitigates these risks through comprehensive resistance to a standard array of nightshade diseases:

• Verticillium and Fusarium wilt (primary root system threats);
• Tobacco Mosaic Virus (TMV);
• Cladosporium (leaf mold), which is particularly valuable for plastic greenhouses with high humidity levels.

The flat-round shape and average fruit weight of 100–150 grams make 'Hermes' an ideal candidate for supermarket supply chains. The tomato features a dense structure, holds its shape well during transportation, and maintains excellent shelf appeal. The three-to-four-chamber internal structure provides a perfect balance between juiciness and firm flesh.

Who is this hybrid for?

This variety is optimal for farming operations targeting high yields (up to 100 tons per hectare). Despite its vigorous development, the plant requires professional pruning and training management due to its indeterminate growth habit. If you are seeking the perfect balance between premium French seed quality and high commercial output, 'Hermes' is a reliable workhorse for your growing season.
