KAGUYA

Professional Choice for Cherry Tomato Production

The «Kaguya» variety from Vilmorin-Mikado represents a reliable solution for growers focusing on the premium fresh market. As an indeterminate tomato, it requires staking and careful plant management, which is rewarded by a consistent yield of high-quality, 20–40 gram fruits. Its uniform, round shape and deep red color are perfectly aligned with modern retail standards for pre-packaged cherry tomatoes.

Key Operational Advantages

• Strong Disease Resistance: Bred for resilience, Kaguya offers robust protection against Fusarium wilt, Verticillium wilt, and Tomato Mosaic Virus. This built-in defense significantly reduces the need for chemical interventions, supporting more sustainable farming practices.
• Yield Predictability: With a maturity cycle of up to 90 days, it allows producers to create a reliable harvest schedule. The plant performs exceptionally well in greenhouse conditions and supported field cultivation.
• Marketable Quality: The fruit skin is firm, preventing cracking during transport—a crucial factor for logistics. Whether destined for local markets or distant retail chains, the product maintains its appeal and firmness.

For commercial success, Kaguya is best managed through drip irrigation and precise fertigation schedules. The plant's ability to maintain productivity under stress makes it a preferred choice for producers who need to minimize crop loss. By focusing on this hybrid, growers gain not only a high-yield potential but also the consistency required to build long-term relationships with buyers.
