Maxxime Tomato: Yield, Maturity and Characteristics
Maxxime is a registered tomato variety. It was registered with the National Seed Industry Council in 2020 as NSIC 2020 Tm 20. It takes about 67 days from transplanting to the first harvest, with 20.66 tonnes per hectare on average in the trials.
The average and top yields in tonnes per hectare come from the trials each variety went through to be registered with the NSIC, and from what the seed companies say about their own seed.
What farmers harvest today can be different. Newer harvest records, the season, the place, the soil, the water and the care all move these numbers over time.
So use them to compare varieties, not as a promise for your field. Ask your seller or your agriculturist how the variety did on farms near you in the last few seasons.

Where and when to plant Maxxime tomato
Bacterial wilt kills more lowland tomato than any other disease, so in the wet season pick a variety rated resistant to it. Choose a firm, oblong fruit if you sell to a far market, and a round, juicy one for fresh sale nearby. Heat tolerant hybrids set fruit in the hot months, when open pollinated tomatoes often drop their flowers. Before planting, get the field ready with our guide: Land preparation for vegetables.
