SPOK

Siberian Selection for Reliable Yields

The 'Spok' tomato is a result of extensive research and development by scientists at the Novosibirsk State Agrarian University. The variety was created by a team of breeders led by Yuri Fotev, Andrey Petrov, and Sergey Ryumkin. This development is primarily aimed at regions with short summers and unstable climates, where the plant's resilience against environmental stressors is a critical factor for success.

Agronomic Features and Protection

This variety belongs to the indeterminate type, requiring vine training and support within greenhouse environments. Its primary advantage is genetic resistance to a complex of viral diseases, including yellow leaf curl and leaf roll viruses, which cause significant yield losses annually. Choosing 'Spok' acts as a safeguard against crop failure caused by pathogens that are difficult to manage through chemical controls alone.

Fruit Quality and Marketability

• Weight and Shape: The fruits possess a classic round, slightly flattened shape, highly valued by consumers. Each tomato weighs between 150 and 200 grams, making them ideal for both fresh market sales and home processing.
• Color: A rich, deep red typical of high-quality table tomato varieties.
• Transportability: 'Spok' stands out for its excellent fruit firmness, allowing for long-distance shipping without losing its market appearance.
