RETAÑA

A reliable harvest with minimal maintenance

For any open-field farmer, choosing a tomato variety is a constant trade-off between yield potential and plant resilience. With the Retana variety, the French breeder Vilmorin-Mikado has prioritized durability. This determinate hybrid does not require constant monitoring or intensive chemical treatment. Over years of field experience in diverse climates, Retana has demonstrated a rare ability to withstand a wide range of diseases, including Fusarium, Verticillium, Mycosphaerella, and leaf mold.

Agrotechnics and harvest efficiency

With a maturity cycle of up to 90 days, it is easy to schedule sequential harvests. The compact bush structure simplifies routine maintenance, from pruning to fertilizer application. The fruits, weighing 100-150 grams, feature a classic plum-cylindrical shape and a vibrant red color. With 2-3 seed chambers, the fruit density is optimal for professional growers.

• Transportation: The fruit maintains its market appearance and firm texture even during long-distance shipping, with excellent resistance to cracking.
• Resistance: Genetic protection against Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus and Fusarium wilt minimizes the risk of crop failure under environmental stress.
• Versatility: Due to the high uniformity of the fruit, Retana is perfectly suited for both the fresh market and whole-fruit processing.

If your goal is to achieve predictable results with minimal post-harvest losses, this French hybrid is one of the most reliable assets in your production cycle.
