HERZOG

Stability and Technological Efficiency of the Determinate Type

The «Herzog» tomato is a highly specialized variety designed for industrial production and mechanized harvesting. Developed by the team at OOO 'VAShE HOZYaJSTVO' (in collaboration with Vladimir Farber and Elena Smirnova), this variety focuses on high adaptive capacity in open-field conditions.

Biological Traits and Productivity

The determinate growth habit limits the plant's height, which is critical for maintaining a uniform and dense canopy structure. With a maturity cycle of 120–130 days, "Herzog" qualifies as a mid-to-late season variety, ensuring a steady harvest window. Under intensive cultivation, potential yields reach 70–100 tons per hectare, making it a highly attractive option for the processing sector.

• Fruit Mass and Morphology: Round fruits weighing 60–80 grams offer an optimal balance of caliber and firmness.
• Dry Matter Content: A solid content of 4.5–5.0% ensures high processing efficiency for tomato paste and juice production.
• Logistical Potential: Due to a firm skin and dense pulp structure, the fruits exhibit excellent transportability, maintaining marketability even after long hauls.

Phytopathological Resistance

A key factor in selecting "Herzog" for large-scale operations is its genetic resistance to Alternaria (early blight). In environments with high humidity or volatile temperature shifts, this variety reduces the need for frequent fungicide applications, effectively lowering both chemical soil impact and total production costs. Choosing high-quality seeds of this variety serves as an investment in predictable yields and consistent output quality.
