VENET

Pridnestrovie Heritage: The Reliability of the "Venets" Variety

Developed by the Pridnestrovian Research Institute, the "Venets" tomato has established itself as a staple in the market of determinate varieties for open-field cultivation. This selection is specifically engineered for stability in temperate continental climates, where resistance to drastic temperature fluctuations and primary fungal pathogens is the deciding factor for a successful harvest.

Plant Health and Resilience

The core strength of this variety lies in its natural resistance. Unlike many modern hybrids, "Venets" shows significant tolerance to a complex array of dangerous diseases. It is the ideal choice for areas prone to outbreaks of:

• Mycosphaerella leaf spot;
• Macrosporiosis (Early blight);
• Brown spot and various types of rot.

A major advantage is its field resistance to late blight (phytophthora), which drastically reduces the need for frequent fungicide applications and ensures a predictable yield even in unfavorable weather conditions.

Agrotechnics and Productivity

The determinate growth habit ensures a compact plant structure, facilitating easier maintenance and harvesting. Maturation periods range from 90 to 120 days, allowing for a flexible harvest window. The fruit is firm, red, and ranges in shape from round to flat-round, with a weight of 80–150 grams. Due to their excellent transportability and long shelf life, these tomatoes retain their commercial appeal long after harvest. With proper agricultural management, the yield reaches 50–100 tons per hectare, making it a cost-effective choice for both small-scale gardens and commercial farms focused on fresh market produce.
