CapGen Seeds held an Open Day in La Mojonera (Almería) on March 4, 5, and 6 to officially present Panoramix, its new pear tomato variety for export with intermediate resistance to the Tomato Brown Rugose Virus (ToBRFV).
Despite the rain on the three days of field visits, the influx of growers and technicians did not stop. "Panoramix has maintained its production and quality in the final phase of cultivation, establishing itself as a reliable choice for the export market," the company stated.
These Open Days served as a continuation of the event held on December 4 and 5, when the variety was still known by its pre-commercial name, CGT3615. "In December we saw the upper part of the plant's behavior. Now, we could see its performance in the fall, highlighting its size, color, and fruit conservation," stated Rocío Redondo, a tomato development technician at CapGen Seeds.
At the event, visitors discovered the main characteristics that make Panoramix a differential variety. It is a vigorous and open plant, which facilitates handling and reduces rot problems. It yields stable and uniform calibers throughout the cycle, with no quality loss in the fall. It yields well-formed fruits, with no defects or holes, guaranteeing that 100% of the production is usable. In addition, it has intermediate resistance to ToBRFV, a key factor in the face of the growing pressure of the rugose virus.
The plants, which were transplanted on September 4 and developed on a two-stem system, will continue to produce until the end of May, with a load of more than 20 bunches in total.
Panoramix's intermediate resistance to the tomato brown rugose virus (ToBRFV) acts as a natural shield, ensuring production, quality, and safety.
CapGen Seeds ended its Open Days event with the satisfaction of having presented a variety that offers great yields, quality, and safety.
