Overview
Agro is a hybrid sauce tomato of the San Marzano type, bearing oblong red fruit on indeterminate plants in the main season. Its main selling point for the home grower is the disease package: it carries resistance to Verticillium wilt, tobacco mosaic virus, and Fusarium wilt race 1, which helps it hold up in beds where paste heirlooms have struggled. Stake or cage the vines and pick over a long period. Good for anyone who cooks down a lot of sauce and wants a sturdier plant than an old-fashioned paste variety.
