L-15-17U

Technical Profile of the L-15-17U Variety

This tomato variety is a breeding solution focused on industrial production in open field conditions. Its determinate growth type dictates a physiological developmental limit: the plant naturally terminates its floral cluster formation after reaching a specific number of inflorescences, ensuring a compact habit and uniform nutrient distribution.

Biological Resources and Production Efficiency

• Maturation Period: With a growing season of 100-120 days, this variety belongs to the mid-season group, providing an optimal balance between fruit mass accumulation and resistance to late-season phytopathogens.
• Fruit Morphology: The cylindrical shape is a distinct advantage for mechanized harvesting and dense packaging. Weighing 80-100 grams, the fruits maintain high wall thickness, minimizing physical damage during transport.
• Productivity Metrics: The claimed yield of 70-100 tons per hectare is achievable when adhering to standard agrotechnological protocols. The inherent genetic potential allows the variety to effectively convert mineral nutrition and solar energy into marketable yield.

The deep red color of the fruit indicates an accumulation of lycopene and carotenoids, enhancing market appeal and technical suitability for the processing industry, particularly for whole-fruit canning. The compact habit allows for optimized planting density, maximizing the number of plants per unit area without compromising the productivity of individual plants.
