Agronomic Profile

As a determinate plant, the variety simplifies cultivation by self-limiting its growth, allowing the plant to concentrate its energy on fruit development. The vegetation period spans 100–120 days, making it a mid-season tomato that fits perfectly into the production cycles of most regional farms.

• Fruit Characteristics: The tomatoes feature a uniform, round shape and weigh between 150 and 200 grams, meeting standard market requirements for fresh produce.
• Marketability: A standout feature of the «Malinovy SHAR» is its excellent transportability. The firmness of the fruit ensures that the crop maintains its aesthetic and structural integrity during long-distance shipping.
• Versatility: Its classic red color and balanced flavor profile make it suitable for both fresh markets and industrial processing, such as juicing or canning.

Sourcing seeds directly from the originator, VNIIOOB, guarantees variety purity and adherence to original breeding standards.
