Graziano (E15M.40456)<br />

Graziano is a reasonably vigorous plant which needs a generative growing strategy. The<br />

trusses are best pruned on 6, and the uniformity both down and between trusses is excellent.<br />

The bright red fruit is firm, and ripening down the truss is much better than average for this<br />

segment.<br />

The new loose tomato from Enza Zaden in the 80-85 grams segment for loose production.<br />

With an open and generative plant type this new loose round is very productive. The plant<br />

finds an easy balance and produces uniform fruit with good brix and shelf life. The market<br />

is now looking for a slightly larger loose round for both prepacking and loose and the<br />

distribution of fruit size really fits the new requirements of the market. The fairly open and<br />

generative plant benefits from being grafted onto a vigorous rootstock and should set well in<br />

lower light conditions.<br />

Temptation is the very popular small fruited variety derived partly from our cocktail breeding<br />

programme. When pruned to six fruits the fruit weight averages 75 to 80 grams. The fruits are<br />

round/slightly flattened with a good shine and have a superb flavour with high sugar levels.<br />

The plant is vigorous, but quite short jointed producing regular trusses suitable for harvesting<br />

as vines or loose. Best results are achieved by using a generative growing regime.<br />

Nordica is a generative, open plant that is very productive. The fruit has excellent flavour,<br />

colour and shelf life. In trials Nordica can be grown in slightly warmer conditions than that of<br />

Millandro. Nordica finds an easy balance and does not require an overly generative regime.<br />

The plant length is average, and the open habit combined with good powdery mildew<br />

tolerance makes this variety suitable for many greenhouse types and planting dates, including<br />

lit crops. Suitable rootstocks are those which are more generative to compliment the vigour<br />

of the plant.<br />
