Variety description

10 August 2026

The first-generation hybrid Aphen is an early-maturing indeterminate plant with a strong stem and short internodes. Good foliage density provides natural protection for the fruits from direct sunlight.

Fruits have a round or oblate shape with slight ribbing and a fleshy, juicy structure. The variety is characterized by high marketability, transportability, and resistance to fruit cracking.

The plant possesses complex resistance to tomato mosaic virus, wilt, nematodes, and tomato yellow leaf curl virus. The hybrid maintains stable fruit set even under temperature fluctuations.

The tomatoes are versatile in use: suitable for fresh consumption, making salads, juices, and sauces. Recommended for cultivation in film and glass greenhouses, as well as in open field.
