Tomates TOV en invernadero
Tomate en rama: racimos enteros madurados de forma uniforme bajo un control de clima preciso, con la textura firme y el color rojo intenso en torno a los que los supermercados organizan sus estanterías.
El caballo de batalla del supermercado
El TOV (tomate en rama) se cosecha como un racimo completo de 4–6 frutos de 100–120 g cada uno, y todo el racimo debe madurar de forma uniforme, que es exactamente lo que ofrece un control de clima preciso. La optimización del CO₂ impulsa el color rojo intenso y el calibre homogéneo, en torno a ±65 kg/m² al año.
La cosecha en racimo implica menos pasadas de recolección que el cherry o el cóctel, pero cada corte exige más cuidado: el racimo es el producto.

Preguntas frecuentes
What does TOV mean?
Tomato on the vine: fruit sold as a complete truss of 4–6 tomatoes, harvested and shipped with the vine attached for freshness and shelf presentation.
What yields do TOV tomatoes reach in a greenhouse?
Around 65–70 kg/m² per year — about 181,700 kg from a 1-acre Expert greenhouse, or 480,400 kg from a 2-acre Plus with growlights.
Why must the whole truss ripen evenly?
The truss is sold as one unit — a single green or overripe fruit downgrades the whole cluster. Even ripening is steered with stable temperature, CO₂ and light management.
Which GrowPro model fits TOV production?
Expert for regional supply up to 2 acres; Plus with growlights when supermarket contracts require year-round volume.
