Yuksel Seeds continues to expand its tomato portfolio with varieties tailored to the market’s core demands. The company introduces Pomeria, a new indeterminate mini plum tomato variety that stands out for its earliness, high yield potential, and comprehensive resistance package—including Tomato Brown Rugose Fruit Virus (ToBRFV)—for autumn, winter, and spring cycles.
Pomeria develops a vigorous, short-internode, and open-habit plant with a very early cycle that ensures rapid entry into production. Its fruits, a mini plum type weighing between 12 and 16 grams, feature a deep red color, uniform ripening, and excellent firmness. In addition to its great flavor profile, the variety is designed for loose harvesting and offers an outstanding shelf life thanks to its thick, fleshy pericarp.
Agronomic Performance and Adaptability
The new variety also excels due to its resistance to fruit cracking and micro-cracking, maintaining a homogeneous fruit size throughout the entire cycle. It is characterized by an easy fruit set, promoting regular and stable production even under demanding conditions.
Thanks to its high adaptability, Pomeria can be grown under diverse conditions and is highly recommended for early plantings, extending its production window beyond the usual autumn, winter, and spring cycles.

Crop Protection and Disease Resistance
On the plant health front, it incorporates resistance to ToMV, Va, Vd, Fol 0-1, and Ff A-B, as well as intermediate resistance (IR) to TYLCV, TSWV, Ma, Mi, Mj, Ss, ToTV, and the Tomato Brown Rugose Fruit Virus (ToBRFV), providing growers with enhanced security against major crop-affecting diseases.
“Pomeria meets the current demands of mini plum growers: an early, productive variety with a high level of protection against key diseases,” states Rafael Granero, Sales Manager at Yuksel Seeds Spain. “Besides delivering a uniform, high-quality harvest, it provides the peace of mind needed to face the entire growing cycle with greater guarantees.”
With this launch, Yuksel Seeds reinforces its tomato offering for the commercial market. Pomeria joins recent additions Minizano and Tiziano, expanding a portfolio committed to combining innovation, crop security, and commercial quality to satisfy the needs of both growers and marketers.
