Marvori – (F1) Tomato Seed

New! White greenhouse tomato with heirloom good looks and taste.
Marvori marries the unique look and complex flavor profile of true heritage varieties with the performance of modern hybrids. The unique ivory skin and pronounced ribs invoke classic heirlooms such as Great White and Lillian’s Yellow, but with uniform size and fewer defects. Leaf mold resistance is an added plus for reliable indoor production, and cracking tolerance is improved over traditional heirlooms. Flavor is exquisite with the perfect balance of acidity and sweetness. Fruits avg. 6–8 oz. High resistance to Fusarium wilt (race 1), leaf molds A-E, tomato mosaic virus, and Verticillium wilt. Indeterminate. Avg. 148,700 seeds/lb. Packet: 15 seeds.

SCIENTIFIC NAME: Solanum lycopersicum
CULTURE: Sow seeds 1/4″ deep in desired medium 6–8 weeks prior to transplanting. Maintain 80–90°F (27-32°C) soil temperature. When first true leaves just show, transplant into cell-type containers or blocks. 2″ or larger containers produce larger, stronger root systems; 4″ blocks are the standard. Grow plants at 66-68°F (19–20°C) day and night temperature. After cotyledons (first leaves) have expanded, fertilize with a complete nutrient solution (EC 1.0, pH 5.8) or equivalent as needed to keep plants dark green and healthy; increase EC as plants grow. When transplanting into the greenhouse, maintain 73–77°F (23–25°C) day and night temperature for a few days after transplanting to promote rapid vegetative growth and root establishment. Once fruit begins to set, lower night temperature to 62–66°F (17–19°C) and keep a daytime temperature of 68–72°F (20–22°C).
TRELLISING: We recommend pruning the plants to 1–2 stems and trellising them up a string.
HARVEST: Fully vine-ripen fruit only for local retailing or personal use. Pick fruit less ripe the further the distance and the longer the time between harvest and the consumer.
DISEASES AND PESTS: Use crop rotation or new media to reduce soilborne disease problems. Schedule regular release of beneficial insects to control pests.
