I ran across this thread and found it interesting. I have had an abundance of thrips in my garden for two years. I had the bronzing on leaves and poor yield and ended up pulling the majority of plants. Last year I put out a sticky trap and then took it in to our extension office to get the diagnosis of thrips. I planted a second tomato garden last year and plants there did better but I still ended up with TSWV in some plants at the end of the season. I have been able to find in catalogs: Mountain Merit, Bella Rosa, Red Defender, BHN 602, BHN 1021, Skyway, and Caiman. I do not usually order from Totally Tomatoes, but they also have: Amelia, Mountain Majesty, and BHN 444. Does anyone have experience with taste and performance of plants resistant to TSWV? Are they mealy? I am looking for medium to large fruits.
Thanks,
Barb
