ORGANIC AND OPEN POLLINATED SEEDS

Solanum lycopersicum

The Madanapalli tomato, an heirloom variety from Andhra Pradesh’s Madanapalle (tomato growing area), is one of the most popular desi tomato varieties in India. Known for its sour, tangy flavour and juicy flesh, it is ideal for everyday Indian cooking—perfect in curries, chutneys, rasam, sambar, and even flavourful sauces. Farmers and home gardeners prefer this variety for its high yield, clustered fruits (3-4 per bunch), and hardy nature, performing well even in dryland conditions with minimal care.

With a crop duration of 70-90 days, Madanapalli tomatoes thrive in well-drained loamy or sandy soil with good organic matter, under full sun. Regular watering during flowering and fruit set ensures better yields. This robust variety is well-suited for organic farming, kitchen gardens, and commercial cultivation across India.
