The rootstock hybrid Defender (sometimes referred to as Defensor F1) is an interspecific hybrid of Solanum lycopersicum × S. habrochaites. It possesses a powerful root system and is characterized by complex resistance to Fusarium, Verticillium, and nematodes, which makes it sought-after for grafting tomatoes and eggplants.
The fresh market variety "Red Defender" is an early determinate hybrid with a maturation period of about 80 days. The plants are vigorous, forming rounded fruits weighing about 280 g with good firmness and keeping quality indicators. The variety has high resistance to Verticillium, Fusarium, Alternaria, and intermediate resistance to Tomato spotted wilt virus.
