Technical sheet

Summary #1: The Agora HF1 Round Tomato is an essential hybrid variety, selected by Vilmorin in its "Gardener's Success" range for its remarkable reliability. It is particularly appreciated for its ability to produce medium-sized, uniform fruits with a beautiful intense red colour. It is the ideal tomato for gardeners who want to combine quantity and quality without compromise, ensuring a generous harvest throughout the summer season.
Summary#2: This variety produces round, smooth and very firm tomatoes, which gives them excellent post-harvest hold. In the kitchen, the Agora HF1 lends itself to all uses: its tasty and balanced flesh is perfect for crunchy salads, but it also reveals its full potential in ready meals, sauces or coulis. Its shiny appearance and regularity make it one of the most aesthetically pleasing tomatoes in your vegetable garden.
Summary#3: Thanks to its state-of-the-art hybrid genetics, the Agora HF1 Tomato boasts exceptional vigour and increased resistance to common vegetable garden diseases, such as Fusarium and Verticillium. It adapts to a wide variety of terroirs and tolerates climatic variations better than traditional varieties. Its indeterminate habit allows it to grow continuously, guaranteeing a spread and safe production, even for novice gardeners.
Summary#4: To express its full potential, the plant must be staked as soon as it is established. Maintenance consists of keeping only one main stem and regularly removing the suckers (secondary branches) that develop in the axils of the leaves. Watering should be regular, preferably carried out early in the morning or late in the evening at the foot of the plant, avoiding wetting the foliage to prevent the risk of fungal diseases.
Summary#5: In the vegetable garden, Agora HF1 benefits greatly from the proximity of aromatic herbs such as basil, which helps to repel certain pests with its fragrance. The combination with marigolds or marigolds is also recommended to limit the development of nematodes thanks to the natural substances secreted by their roots. Remember that this variety is frosty and requires exposure to full sun with a minimum resistance of 5 degrees Celsius.
