STEPASHKA

Stable Yields Without Extra Effort

For a farmer who prioritizes reliability and marketability, the Stepashka tomato from Tomagros is a practical choice. This indeterminate variety is a workhorse for both greenhouses and open fields, where both fruit weight and shelf life are critical. The 100-120 day maturation period allows for precise harvest scheduling, while the high yield potential (70-100 tons per hectare) makes it an economically viable culture.

Resilience in Field Conditions

The primary headache for any agronomist is disease that consumes profit before harvest. Stepashka acts as a reliable shield. The originators (E. N. Andreeva, M. I. Ushakova, A. N. Andreeva) integrated significant resistance to Mycosphaerella leaf spot, brown spot, and late blight into the genotype. This translates into savings on fungicide applications and reduced chemical stress on the plants.

Storage and Logistics Excellence

The cylindrical shape of the red fruits, weighing 150-200+ grams, is perfectly suited for retail packaging. Most importantly for logistics, these tomatoes withstand transportation exceptionally well and maintain market quality for over 30 days. For those supplying supermarket chains or wholesale markets, this indicator is decisive. While the plant is indeterminate and requires consistent pruning and trellising, the yield of uniform, high-quality fruit fully justifies the labor costs.
