Radogost

Technical profile of the determinate hybrid

The 'Radogost' tomato is a result of the selective breeding work conducted by Gavrish and the Russian Research Institute of Vegetable Breeding and Seed Production (VNIISSOK). Its agronomic value lies in the balance between early maturity and high fruit density. The determinate growth habit limits plant height, enabling efficient usage of greenhouse or field space without the need for complex pruning protocols in industrial settings.

Biological characteristics and yield

• Vegetation period: 100–120 days from germination to technical maturity.
• Habit: compact plant architecture, optimized for standardized planting densities.
• Fruit: uniform rounded shape with high flesh density.
• Color profile: intense yellow, indicating a robust accumulation of pigments and sugars.

Logistical capacity

The core advantage of this hybrid is its storage life. Due to the genetically programmed skin thickness and cell structure of the pulp, the fruits retain their commercial quality for over 30 days post-harvest. This is a critical metric for commercial producers targeting retail distribution, where high transportability and resistance to mechanical damage are paramount. 'Radogost' delivers predictable results, ensuring a stable yield of marketable produce even after long-distance transport.
