ICS team develops varieties of tomatoes which are TYLCV resistant (tomato yellow leaf curl virus) and heat tolerant.

Some of our varieties are also resistant to bacterial wilt (Ralstonia solanacearum), nematodes (Meloidogyne incognita) and TSWV (Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus).

TYLCV disease may lead to severe yield reductions up to the total loss of the crop in the case of an early attack. Beside using a resistant variety, it is recommended to have a protected nursery and to limit the population of white flies with effective insecticide treatments.

The ICS team accompanies you whatever your project:

• Tomato for industrial processing: tomato paste, dried tomatoes
• Open-field tomato for the fresh fruit market – with good transportation resistance and long shelf-life
• Specific varieties: cherry or mini-tomatoes, yellow tomatoes, cluster tomatoes.

F1 Sora is a processing variety reaching a brix of 5.1. This variety has an excellent behaviour in hot and humid conditions, thanks to its tolerance to bacterial wilt (Ralstonia Solanacearum). Fruits are very firm at harvest, so the fruits can be also sold in fresh market. Tomato F1 Sora has been successfully grown in Ivory Coast, Ethiopia and Rwanda.

Within the framework of your agro-industrial project, the ICS team can also advise and supply you:

• Drip irrigation or pivot irrigation
• Automatic transplanter
• Mechanical harvester
