Our premium tomato seed varieties under GCS Seeds are developed to deliver high yields, excellent fruit quality, and strong disease resistance, specifically designed for professional growers in the European B2B market.
Key Features
- Botanical Name: Solanum lycopersicum — the globally cultivated tomato plant.
- Adapted for high-performance open-field or protected cultivation, with varieties available in determinate and indeterminate growth habits to suit different production systems.
- Fruit quality emphasised: uniform shape, deep red colour, firm flesh for efficient handling and extended shelf life.
- Robust built-in resistance package to common tomato diseases and stresses, enhancing crop reliability.
Agronomic Recommendations
- Sowing & Transplanting: Start seeds in nursery, then transplant seedlings when stable warm temperature conditions are reached; avoid direct sowing where possible for best results.
- Growth Habit: Support vines where needed (especially indeterminate types) to maintain airflow, optimize light penetration and reduce disease risk.
- Crop Care: Use balanced fertilisation and maintain consistent soil moisture — avoid water-logging. Keeping foliage dry helps in disease prevention.
